Exactly why I'm upgrading to beefier xAxis arms. Can't use spherical bearings in my class. My shop spoke to SPC and theres a FAQ on their website on a slight modification needed to install the new arms properly. I don't know why they didn't know this when I called them up, but they're on now and provided plenty of additional adjustment over my old SPC arms.
I guess I'm lucky, but 7 track days and up to 100 autocross events + 90k miles I've had 0 problems with my old SPC arms. New ones I can expect to only be better. I am not saying the old ones are anywhere near the quality of the SPL, that's for sure. I would have gone with them in an instant. These newer spc arms do seem like a big jump from the last design though, and that's even coming from the shop owner and alignment tech who I go to (R/T Tuning). They work on Formula Drift cars, and a lot of other racing series. I respect their opinion.
