I cannot recommend these. P2Ms are the same bars Japspeed sells and both of those are just rebranded TCSportlines. If you search this group for TCSportlines you will find horror stories of those arms breaking at the welds or the spherical bearings. It got so bad that TCSportline stopped selling them for SCs
P2Ms are getting more common on FB because people are buying them because they're the cheapest FLCAs around. They are popular with drifters and guys who are slammed.
But there have been a few failures. I have seen at least 4 people report issues. 3 broke at the welds and one had a heim joint rip the threads out of the tube. The good news is it seems they have sourced a new company for the heim joints, so they're not snapping anymore
If you are looking for arms, I would recommend the Bell Raceworks arms. Those are specifically meant for daily street use and they are adjustable. Other than one guy who bought them as an alternative to OEM arms (then blasted the company on FB), those arms have a 100% success record.
Bells use a camry balljoint and replaceable/upgradeable subframe bushings.
The next step up from those would be BattleVersions. Those use a MKIII Supra balljoint.
Then if you're looking for top quality, that would be Figs Engineering followed by Ikeya Formula

look at the design of the arms.. those heim joints just being threaded in on the ends don't scream safe to me, look kind of dangerous on anything but a track car.
I didn't realize there were so many options around these days but be careful just cause they are available doesn't mean they are a good idea or safe.
The fig's arms look well made, you can see the quality difference when you look at them even.
For most people driving on the road looking to refresh there arms, it is hard to beat a new set of OEM supra arms price, performance and safety.

Anything with a threaded end on the wheel side is crap... I don't even look past that. If you can't find a "performance" control arm with a removable ball joint on the wheel end, keep looking. From what I've seen, almost all have the threaded rod ends !!!
