I tend to stick to parts most resellers carry. Specialized stuff tends to be a pain especially low volume parts like these arms. When I had little run in with curb I had replacement arm from SPC next day.
good point there Shamu. When I had a little run-in with curbing at Carolina Motorsports park, I was able to replace my rear spc piece that bent quickly too. Never thought about the possibility of a mishap with these.

First you give them crap and say that they will never produce the arms, then you give them crap AFTER they've produced and sold them.

How about, since you have nothing constructive to say EVER on the topic of Doran racing or their parts you just take your constant thread crapping elsewhere. BJ has been nothing but polite and patient with you and yet at every turn you give these guys grief.. Enough is enough Shamu.

while that is a very valid point, watch this starting at the 17min mark:

Mike Skeen: 2012 Nissan 370Z Watkins Glen - YouTube

i saw the front PS arm when Dustin and I visited the Doran shop. it just had a small nick in the finish. simply amazing for such a hard hit that actually warped the car itself.

Just to share what Kevin Doran told me about his philosphy on suspension component design:

The suspension component should be able to survive any abuse short of something that would bust up the wheel.

Seems pretty valid to me.

YOW! Didn't you have SPL camber arms? Those things are beefy.

Rear camber arms snapped. Damn. Something is wrong with this picture. Either SPC or SPL, both are super strong. I cant't help but think something may be at play. In for more info. What exactly gave away?

Was there anything unusual in your setup that could've contributed by putting more stress on it? Unusual alignment, large spacers, very wide wheels, etc? I'm just trying to keep myself from being paranoid next time I'm out in mine.
