Response from Mike @ SPL Parts:

"Those are the new design RTR arms. Our website has them pictured as well."

I know you're an SPL fan as am I. However, you sometimes trash talk non-SPL products without having any first-hand knowledge of the quality of the product. These Voodoo13 FUCAs are well-designed and well-constructed. The only difference I see between the SPL and Voodoo13 products are the self-cleaning joints and the $100 price differential.

One advantage, From my alignment guy, the spl adjuster is much much better. It's one nut with a hex cap mechanism to lock settings in place, instead of a traditional jam nut like voodoo13 uses. He said it makes his life so much easier tha. The traditional mechanism everyone else uses
