I want to post this for you guys so everyone knows exactly what they're dealing with when they buy Ichiba camber kits, don't be fooled by their $350-$450 price range, these are NOT midrange/higher end camber kits whatsoever.
They are made soooo cheaply that this isn't even another case of made in china cheap non quality stuff, but this shlt will literally break in half, and if it doesn't the bushings will fall out or they'll get loose and cause massive clunking noises.
And then when it's time to remove them, good luck, this is what happened to me below, and honestly if I was just a rare case I would not cause all this ruckus, but I've found many threads of not just complaints about Ichiba, but some really scary stuff of CATASTROPHIC failure, here take a look at my thread below on my350, and also I'll quote the whole thing right below, thanks for looking and please do yourself a favor, don't even think about getting these.


Ichiba failed me hard, like so many others! - MY350Z.COM Forums

 

good to know

 

i have the rear camber arms and now have a really bad feeling in my stomach.

 

^ rear camber arms you say ? I'm sorry to break it down to you brother, but this is what catastrophic failure is right here...
also this is not the only case of them breaking in half, from my light browsing on this issue I've already seen a handful of their rear kits snap right in half

 

Ouch!!!!

 

DAMN that sucks!!

 

SPC>>>> Thats just terrible how they could sell that garbage.

 

i will be going with spl soon after seeing this

 

Thanks for posting here. Although I don't fault the vendors for the part's failure. It's possible that the majority if them are unaware of any issue - the same as you were until it happened to you.

Suspension components are not the place to save a few bucks by buying an inferior quality part or something unproven. People will get indignant and jump all over Ichiba for producing POS parts, and rightfully so. Then that same guy will go put a set of cheap Chinese knockoff wheels on the same car and think nothing of it because they "look just like Volks" but cost $1900 less.

If people wouldn't buy this crap, there'd be no market for it. But if it's $1 cheaper than the real quality part, somebody will rationalize buying it.

 

Ichiba is made by SPC, they are no different than Eibach branded parts.

 

so why is this part failing and the spc are not if they are made by the same company?

 

It doesnt matter if it is made by the same company. Companies will make cheaper parts under another lable. Its like hotels, lets take Marriott and Marriott Courtyard. Do you get quality yes, is the product the same no. One cost more and is better.

 

thanks to you guys for posting up, and you're welcome Black Betty, thanks for chiming in with some knowledge...


and where is this guy getting the information that SPC makes their kits in China ?
please don't post conflicting and wrong information in threads like these, because threads like this need to be clear and clean as possible since the issue at hand in the first place is misinformation


this is a picture of SPC headquarters in Connecticut where they make their stuff



not to mention the fact that SPC camber kits and Ichiba camber kits look nothing like each other






Ichiba is a knockoff of the Cusco arms pictured here

 

China?? No one mentioned China but you.

 

Oh BTW you have the wrong arm in your pictures, these are the Ichiba arms for the G37, they are made by SPC.
The arms you illustrated are from an earlier vendor for G35s
Get your facts straight before running in here with your first post, sounding like chicken little.



These are SPC for G37:
