New high end SPC rear Camber arms (72262) Anyone tried these?

SPC has released a new type of rear camber arm:
Specialty Products Company | SPC Alignment | The Automotive Alignment Leaders

These have a new type of sealed monoball type bearing that claims to reduce deflection and perform like a typical monoball but have the durability of OE bushings. The arms are also stronger and forged. SPC is calling these bushings "xAxis". I assume that because it is sealed, it will keep lubricant in and dirt out. SPC says they are designed to handle track duty but are comfortable enough for street use as well as zero maintenance.

Info on "xAxis": Specialty Products Company | SPC Alignment | The Automotive Alignment Leaders

I haven't been able to find any information on this thing. Has anyone tried them? They do sound promising.

I noticed that as well. SPC is apparently doing this for not only these arms but the original 72260 arms that are more popular here. They say it makes the arms stronger.

I'm a bit worried about this though because of this:

Some reports that the arms aren't able to clear sway bars. I'm lowered on swifts and am in the market for camber arms, not sure if I will have problems with these straight designs now.

Hmm, then I expect to have no issues with my swifts.

It is interesting that SPC felt the need to redesign the older arms to be stronger. I wonder if there were too many failures of the old design.
