And the camber adjustment on these are terrible. I am lowered 1 inch and my Ichiba arms are at the max adjustment and I'm still not at OEM camber spec. $300 down the drain on these arms that not only failed but couldn't even do it's intended job of getting me back to OEM specs.
how much adjustment did you actually get from the Ichiba arms? Did the bushings on yours actually fail?

Around a .5 to .8 adjustment. What do you mean did the bushings "actually" fail? As you can see from the pics the bushings did not hold the arm in the center causing the arm to push against the metal part in the fenders which will cause all kinds of clunking noises during everyday driving.

No problem man. I just want the community to be aware about the quality of these arms before spending the money. Better off going with SPC or Kinetix instead for the same price.
