I'll add my 2 cents from a different angle.

The arms' job is to hold the wheel in a specific angle and arc of movement. Any of them failing results in a catastrophic lost of control.

We've seen SPC rear arm snapped in half on track. Possibly due to the old design...or maybe impurity in the metal....or both....who knows? But "I don't track the car, so I should be fine" argument really isn't a black and white thing....it really depends on your risk tolerance.

Street driving can be equally harsh in case of an accident. Lose control, wheel hitting the curb at a weird angle, that can snap an arm. Seen those Cars N Coffee videos where guys show off, spin out, wheel bang on the curb, then the said wheel point at an angle that's all wrong, ripping out unknown amount of things with it...? So what would've been at most a bent wheel, now add thousands of dollars of bodywork and a tow fee.

On the other hand, I've seen a car losing it, jumped the center median and landed on sidewalk, and an alignment check immediately after reveal no adjustment needed whatsoever. This was a car with SPL arms.

It's ok to choose other options, odd is even the cheapest knockoffs of knockoffs are fine, just don't think for a second that only track driving benefits from the superior arm.
JARblue and 2string1 like this.
