Default DORMAN Upper Control Arms

Has anyone heard of these? I just saw them at RockAuto.com and noticed they are a lot cheaper than OEM. Less than $500 delivered as opposed to $820 before delivery from Sewell.

Has anyone tried these?

The adjustable SPC arms are only $399 most places.

It's about $440 Delivered for DORMAN for both sides.

Do any of you guys use the SPC Control Arms?

Many people do. They are great is you have camber issues as they will correct them up to 2.50 i believe. I don't have them personally but i have installed them on a G35 and they worked out great!

From doing a quick search on SPC Control Arms, sounds like there are not direct replacements. You have to do some changes to get them to fit. Due to this and by looks I think I'll go with the Dorman's. They are closer to OEM.

Didn't find the Dorman's cheaper than Rockauto.com.

It would just be nice to hear from someone that put these on, Pro's and Con's. One obvious Pro is the price over OEM.
