I can't speak to their function, but optically, these look like cheap knock offs of a superior product (SPL) that is proven! Save yourself possible headaches, buy something that is proven and don't roll the dice on suspension bits. Your suspension isn't something that I would recommend cutting costs on.

They look visually different in hand. Adjustment functions in the same way SPL arms do. Z1 took the positive aspects from SPL's offerings and produced a like part at half the cost(while keeping similar manufacturing processes). How do you figure buying a manufacture warranted part as "rolling the dice". Z1 offers an older style arm that is not adjustable on car and I could not find one account of a user having an issue or "failed" component(FUCA) on this site or any other for that matter, they're just not as popular because they do not offer quick & easy adjustments ! Z1 has fixed that with this newly improved offering. I feel the cheap knockoff comment is coming from a materialistic POV and from someone who has shelled out the cash and already has SPL upper arms

. Others have already previously mentioned that there is no real problem with the fuca's offered by other companies, they're just hasn't been an offering as easy to use & adjust on the market other than SPL until more recently !!

I shelled out the cash as a sound investment into the support of my chassis. I have peace of mind knowing that my suspension components will never fail me, because I purchased from a company that backs their products, did proper R&D, and are track tested and proven. Your build-your choices, but don't come in here throwing shade at SPL because you feel they aren't worth it. There is not another company out there, all in, that can hang with them for the same parts. Hopefully Z1 products serve you well, but just know, that they copy other manufacturers, just on a cheaper scale. Do your research!
