:Rumor 1: SPL suspension parts are made in China/Taiwan copies of existing parts
dunno where or who started this. I heard it from several sources. one in austin, one on the east coast, and one on the west coast/cali. i wasn't sure what was up, so i brought it to light. i should have just called you instead of posting publicly.
my apologies.:rumor 2: SPL front upper arms are dangerous, they can break because they hit the bracket, etc.
:AFAIK only one person has reported this style of arm "failing", and that was nixit. The "failure" was the threads on the arm seizing due to race compound brake dust deposited on the threads: I made several posts on this, all of which i cannot find. they are under ni[x]its account.
the final cause was improper use of the product.
the locking collars were erroneously left loose after a track event. this left the threaded 'fingers' unsupported. this intern allowed them to break. once that happened, the entire turnbuckles allowed the threaded bosses to realign in the thread causing them to cross thread. i can't find my damn posts, but they are there. with the new shorter turnbuckles (courtesy/c.park style is all i know to call them), interference with the supportng bracket is eliminated. re adustement, each full 360 degree turn of the turnbuckle will yield a .41 degree change in camber. (point 41). thanks for your support of this forum, our cars, and dispelling bs rumors.
