Lock this post up, theres a troll trying to cause panic.

 

TV - I don't know where you found your info from but if you could post a source for what you are claiming, that would clear up this thread. I did a light google search but couldn't find any links between ichiba and SPC. You also have to remember that you can only make so many designs for a camber arm so you can't depend on looks alone. Please provide solid info.

To the OP's defense, I too have done research on camber arms before buying a set and found way too many Ichiba complaints and zero SPC/Eibach complaints.

 

one way to find out is to call the spc headquarters and ask about it

 

I'm trying to help people here and I get a troll coming in here calling me a troll and derailing the thread.
What's wrong with some people, I just don't understand sometimes...
and who are you to ask for this post to be locked up mr bigshot ?


Why is SPC even in the conversation here, because let's look at the facts.
SPC is an American company with a very good reputation in the VQ crowd, this is a fact and it's an established fact you can't dispute. Why even mention it in the same sentence as Ichiba.

And SO WHAT if I have the wrong camber arms in the picture, it's all the same company, comes from the same factory, made by the same machines with the same materials....
And you went and posted that all high and mighty as in "HAH BUSTED" like you busted me for lying or something, grow up dude you sound like a spoiled teenager

anyway I dont want this thread getting derailed any further so please just ignore this TV guy and continue on discussing

 

I too have not been able to find a link to ichiba being made by spc. I've ended up buying spc due to the fact that I found a lot of complaint for ichiba when I did my research.

 

I did my research, and called SPC when shopping for control arms, they confirmed making these for Ichiba, and Eibach.
The ones you posted were another vendor that made them for Ichiba, and they were for G35s.

This is a G37 forum, we will never see these arms!!

 

dang son.

TV JUST TOLD YOU!.


honestly i agree with jeremy. suspension is no time to skimp on cost. you get what you pay for and you life is literally riding on your suspension. people really need to do their homework before making a purchase of such importance.

 

Glass houses!!!!

Sorry to , but I did raise 2 spoiled teenagers to adulthood!!

 

Well done sir. May I start clapping slowly so that everyone may join in?

 

Actually the ones in his picture are the rear arms and yes they do make the same ones for the G37. The ones in your picture are for the front.

 

Yea the point of the thread was to warn people about the company Ichiba and about how their products are not your typical cheaply made eBay quality stuff, and they have the potential for catastrophic failure.

I really don't know why a grown adult man with two grown kids would jump in troll up and derail the topic at hand, ESPECIALLY when the information provided is so important.

Anyway, thanks for reading guys and keep all this in mind for your own safety, I know they sell a lot of kits to the VQ crowd because almost every vendor carries their product, something has to be done.

 

That's scary, i used to have those rear arms on my car. They used to make noise too.

 

Looks like the V36 Front Upper Control Arm, and Rear Camber Arms are made by SPC for Ichiba.

The rest of there stuff is crap though.

 

First off hello Everyone My name is Travis, I'm the electronic media guy for Specialty Products/SPC Performance. This thread came to my attention from another member. Thought having an official voice here would clear things up.

First: SPC DOES NOT produce arms for Ichiba. End of discussion. We DO private label our arms for Eibach.

Second: The person you called here, may have been confused as you would be surprised at the multitude of ways people try to pronounce Eibach, and they may have thought that's what you were calling about. (Ive heard Eee-Bach, echeebach, EEbak, you name it)

Third: As others have said, there have been "knock-offs" of some of our products the best way to know is to buy from an authorized seller, or feel free to call us at 800-525-6505 and we can confirm that it is a genuine SPC part. A big red flag is the Ebay marketplace. SPC does not sell on Ebay, and only a few of our authorized dealers sell on there as well, again feel free to give us a call and we can check out the listing.

SPC prides itself on our quality and customer service. If you have ever called us, you know there is no phone tree, a real person pics up the phone every time and is there to help, and more times than not you may even talk to me as I work the phones as well.

I hope that clears some info up, and please feel free to ask me any questions.

Thanks for your support

Travis, I was misinformed. So how does a company like Ichiba make an identical arm to yours? Without repercussions??
