If this is true this is going to suck, because if you order from vendor you have no clue if its the old stock or the new ones that you are getting.

Hi Bri,
As a follow-up, our updated control arms are on the shelf and shipping from the factory. The 1st production run got boxed up about one week ago.
As mentioned below, we have increased the cross section of the observed failure point by 55% and have also moved to a higher grade steel.
Best Regards, Ben

Any pics of the new spc arm? would help tremendously... i can post what the old arm looks like but someone needs to post a pic of the new arm...

Can you tell me the name of the person that emailed you that information?
I want to be informed when I call tomorrow!

Here is the rest.
Sorry for the delay.
Hi Brian,
*
The part numbers are 72130 (a pair of arms for the front) and 72280 (one camber arm and one toe cam for the rear.)* It is a little confusing, but you will need 1 x 72130 and 2 x 72280 to take care of all four corners.
*
We do not sell out of the factory, so I would have to quote you full list, but I suspect you could find the front set for less than $450 and the rears for less than $95 each.
*
I can recommend a handful of distributors off of the top of my head; IAP Direct, TH Motorsports, Motovicity, Promotion, TireRack, and Ultra Rev are all reputable distributors for us.* (You could ask them to Drop Ship direct from SPC if you wanted to be 100% sure to get the newest arms.)
*
Thanks, Ben
