    Just installed SPC’s on my truck today. I’m an auto tech and did my own alignment as well. I specifically went with the SPC arms because of the ability to adjust caster and camber while leaving the lower control arm cams in the nuetral position. The SPC ball joint is clock-able to have -3* to 3* of caster and the camber is adjustable with the slot in the upper arm. Also the ball joint itself is MUCH larger than the factory unit and is a sealed design vs the other guys. Personally I believe if you vehicle sees primarily on road use, the only choice is SPC.

    Well let me ask you this. Would you buy Chinese knockoff tires just because they are cheap? Probably not.

    Too me somethings are ok cheaping out on and somethings aren't. Just like tires I feel that suspension or engine parts aren't worth cheaping out on because of a safety standards point.
