FWIW.... Seen a car lost control, jumped a center median then a curb, landed on opposite side pedestrian sidewalk. Alignment didn’t change an ounce. Car had full SPL arms. For this platform, SPL is the best money can buy. On the other hand, playing devil’s advocate , reading the SPL product description, the billet version is machined (I assume that means the body is carved out of a block of aluminum), whereas the steel version was tig welded in the middle (where it curves). So, if we are reeeeally nip picking here, wouldn’t you also need to account for potential weakness in weld, and cannot just compare the strength of the two material? I understand a properly executed weld would be just as strong as the metal itself (I hear that enough times from various groups).
