Im not yelling by any means.

Most people probably crash, or sell their crap off long before it would be return time, they would also not take something back for a return, thats just a worn out rod end, the main problem is that the ends are garbage, when you factor $30-40 or so each, for a quality replacement, the price difference in them and lesser quality stuff shrinks, I suppose if i had to choose something else, it would probably be cusco ? and used ?

Pretty sure that puts you back at the metric rod end thing.

 

I ment the yelling match in a joking way. All replies are appreciated.

 

battle version also puts teflon sealed heim joints on their stuff. still out of my range though.

 

I've used Battle Version, SPL, and SPC (non-heim) arms and would recommend all of them. The heim arms I had for years and years and were still so tight that if I unbolted everything and let them sit parallel to the ground, they'd stay there for weeks.

I think the feedback from Ken/Enjuku is very valuable. No returns in 1200 units is very good for just about any performance part. Despite the personal bias that some might have, I think we're really lucky to have a shop like Enjuku that keeps track of these things and puts effort into research.

I think the longest continuously used arms I've seen were the JIC set on SCC's old Project Silvia. That was 2002 when they put them on and Dave just rechecked them recently to find that they're still tight and noise/play free. Not bad for an unsealed heim!

One last related thought, I've used "Def's RSB" which are the spherical bearings you press into the uprights. Once you go full heim, they're an incredible upgrade to finish it all off. The bearings are very durable, and the significant reduction in suspension bind is easily felt in the driver's seat.

 

I can second the fact that Battle Version is quality. I was under the assumption that they were a pretty pricey item as well though?

 

Just look for some used SPL or Battleversions on Zilvia. They're always floating around there. PBM stuff is pretty good from what I've heard. I know its popular out in california with the drift kids.

I'd buy Def's RSB's if there where any left. Looks like I'm stuck with going to SPL for it. Thats probably what I'm going to spend part of my tax return on, Stock uprights and RSB's

 

yes, they are comparable to SPL in price

 

Just checked pricing on Battle Version....... A little pricey. They're $900.00 + shipping. (For the complete set up.)

 

that car also sat ALOT.
keep in mind, my jic arms are the ones off of the original enjuku drag car turned drift car turned adams turned matts car, still in perfect shape.

i have jic rear uppers, and rear toe, and spl tc rods. no complaints about any, but jic are so fucking expensive theres no way id recommend them.

im not really sure what to recommend for cheap stuff, but i can say definitely not megan. the arms are terrible to adjust, and the threads are too fine, making it take forever.
maybe look into something like isis, orangetree (if thats still around) or something similara and look into upgrading the heim joints.
or do the spc arms like chris, those are decently priced and seem to be better quality than a more expensive "cheap" heim joint arm.

other suggestion is only buy what you need.
ruca and rear toe are pretty much mandatory i think, tc you could get away with a bushing insert, and traction isnt neccassary either.
buy 2 neccassary arms for the same price as those two and 4 more you dont need. you know?

 

also, i only read epstein, dan and joes posts. so if i doubled someones posts, thats why.
