In Reply To	Why are SPL's rear camber arms $100 more? posted by PennStateZ on May 24, 2005 at 01:51 PM
Message	Yes, the SPL stuff is somewhat better quality. The powertrix stuff is what I have on my car, and is substantially better quality than the stock pieces. There hasn't been any evidence, to my knowledge, of the powertrix stuff failing in anything other than very hard use applications and abuse (ie, using a torch to heat them up). SPL stuff rocks, but i couldn't justify the extra costs Joe Engine Rebuild in Progress: Sport 530bb's + Inconel :-) AIM: hoyatiger81
