Mike uses the SPC front arms and said he's had zero issues. He uses the car solely on the track. I'm favoring the SPC kit now and then using some blue locktite on the bolts.

Don't get me wrong I love the SPC kit also. Even had one on my 350 also. I've never had an issue before either. But if both kits were out I'd probably choose the SPL front arms over the SPC. The SPL is a little easier to adjust and hold your settings while during an actual alignment. You just have to tighten the top nut more and I assume the locktite will help. But even then it CAN slip due to its design. Probably more so if you hit a bad pot hole. But even then that could threw any kit out of alignment.

I have about 1000 miles on them(with grippy tires) and drive my car like I stole it,plus I did my own alignment so tightening the upper ball joint correctly was not an issue I'm not doubting that some people have had a problem but maybe the person tightening the nut may want to think outside the box to achieve what needs to be done.

I'm just saying.
