SPC vs SPL Rear Camber Arms (Reliability vs Durability)

For real, I just had SPL upper arm installed and I have SPC rear arms and toe bolts! I was thinking about changing them out, but didn't know if it

For real, I just had SPL upper arm installed and I have SPC rear arms and toe bolts! I was thinking about changing them out, but didn't know if it is really worth it. I just haven't seen any real data on failure rates. Parts fail even from the best factories with the best quality control.

This is true but then even the best quality control can't stop a crap *** design from breaking.

I agree and putting a sharp angle (Threads) is almost a crack shipped from the factory. I took a look at the design and promptly ordered SPL. With the roads we have in the US, you don't need to track to have one fail. It's my life and I'll be damned if I'll take the chance for $100.
