Kinetix Camber/Castor Arm Owners
Are the people out there using these completely satisfied with the product? I know the SPC arms are more popular but I like the idea of having a adjustable arm with poly bushings rather than only a new toe bolt. Their company is only 20 min. from my house so any issues could easily be delt with. Something unusual about their camber arms is that in the pictures there is no bend in the camber arms for sway bar clearance you see on all the other brands.

There shouldn't be any issues with using the kinetix camber arms if you prefer those instead of the spc camber arms, but the "toe" arms or caster arms shouldn't be used at all for adjusting the toe, because it is the improper way of doing so. Use a set of SPC toe bolts instead for the toe adjustment.

Does that mean you'll price match for everyone since you said no one beats your price?

if you have ever looked at the rear suspension, you'll see why "toe" arms don't work the same as toe bolts. The toe arms attach at an angle to the suspension, while the toe bolts are on the same plane as the rotation point of the rear suspension, so increasing the length of the "toe" arm(correctly call a radius arm), pushes the down as well as back, changining the suspension geometry in 2 planes rather than just 1. This is why they are poor adjustment point compared to toe bolts. This in effect is changing the "caster" of the rear suspensoin at the same time as the toe, which is the improper method of adjusting toe, especially since there is already a correct method out there with the spc toe bolts, why even bother with the "toe" arms?
