The SPC upper arms are 1/2 inch taller that the stock arms, The one from japan are usually priced around $1500.00 to $2000.00 us (my wife reads japanese and is into cars) and Studio is in the process of developing new front uppers that are lower than the stock arms and give camber adjustment. Just waiting on the release date.

Do the spc's actually work and how much do they adjust? The ones of us that cut a hole for the oem uca to travel shouldn't have any problem running them..

SPC works as well as they are designed to work. hah just people that are a lot lower than SPC engineers have anticipated run into problems.

I'm dropped about 2 inches, I ran these for about 2 years and 30k miles. At that point both joints had play, SPC swapped me out for a new set no charge. I'd imagine that going lower will destroy them quicker because of the angle.

The warranty is "limited lifetime" which according to them covers manufacuring defects. Quite a bit cheaper than oem and the ball joint is easy to replace if it gets loose.

It's been a while since we had an update on this subject. Anyone care to chime in? Any new arms out there?
