Default Beware of Ichiba, it will literally break!

I want to post this for you guys so everyone knows exactly what they're dealing with when they buy Ichiba camber kits, don't be fooled by their $350-$450 price range, these are NOT midrange/higher end camber kits whatsoever.
They are made soooo cheaply that this isn't even another case of made in china cheap non quality stuff, but this shlt will literally break in half, and if it doesn't the bushings will fall out or they'll get loose and cause massive clunking noises.
And then when it's time to remove them, good luck, this is what happened to me below, and honestly if I was just a rare case I would not cause all this ruckus, but I've found many threads of not just complaints about Ichiba, but some really scary stuff of CATASTROPHIC failure, here take a look at my thread below on my350, and also I'll quote the whole thing right below, thanks for looking and please do yourself a favor, don't even think about getting these.

Ichiba rear camber arms almost killed me - G35Driver

Ichiba camber arms FTL - G35Driver

Ichiba suspension parts = total garbage!!! - G35Driver




So Ichiba aka GodSpeed aka various other eBay nicknames, they really should NOT be sold by vendors on here since they are prone to nor just minor failure, but CATASTROPHIC failure.... why don't we have any stand up vendors that refuse to sell out of principle and safety of their customers, does it all have to be about money all the time

here are my videos, Part 1 and Part 2, very self explanatory... (sorry bout the loud music, wasn't loud at all when makin the vid, guess the phone mic amplified the sound)
