This one for $410?


Or this one for almost $200 more!

Pretty sure both would be adequate. The more expensive one may have wider or different adjustability (have not looked as specs). But, if you plan on going really low, I would probably go with the more expensive one. Really low ride height paired with soft springs/shocks could cause the arm to hit the upper fender in the wheel well. This is because the adjusting cam / joint is bigger than OEM causing the arm to be "taller" and have less clearance. The more expensive ones have a much lower profile in the ball joint area.

That said, I think most go with the cheaper set.

Plan on going w/BC Racing coilovers, but I don't want it that low. Maybe 1.5" lower than stock.

I think for $200 more, I think it's worth it to me since it has a lot less likely chance to slip out of adjustment, unlike the cheaper arms, where it's adjustment is one single bolt/nut.

I think most people get the cheaper ones and if they want to spend more they get the SPL arms which are an even better design: https://www.z1motorsports.com/suspen...37-p-7360.html so most people dont seem to go for the more expensive SPC arms

Could be bad luck/my roads but my ball joints ended up having play very shortly after install on the cheaper SPC's. If I were to do it again I'd just get the SPL, especially since you can adjust the camber without removing anything.

Always go with SPC! So you don't ruin into issues. Suspension is very important.

Well currently i have Kinetix A arms. I am not in love with the design. I was in a time crunch and they could get me the arms the fastest, so i bit the bullet. But contrary to popular believe they are decent A arms. Adjusting them is a bitch but i set them once and forgot about them. Have not given me any trouble. Took my car up in the mountains had a blast no issues. That said, my car is a pure street car. I do not intend on putting slicks or any kind of truly high performance tire on it. If i was then i would be looking at SPLs or Voodoo13 A arms.

The SPL UCA was the first mod I did to my G. I liked their engineering the best of the few arms available at the time. Still the best engineered IMO.
