Default Kmac or Forge adjustable arms?

So I finally called Zev to schedule my coilover install next week. Anyone want to split a Kmac with me or does anyone have the adjustable arms from Forge and recommend them? Email me if you have info......

Default I prefer the griffins because the forge bolt is effectively a shear point

I prefer the griffins because the forge bolt is effectively a shear point and the urethane bushings are going to need constant attention every 3-6 months with Si grease. Same cost $300.

Kmacs are ok but the adjustment is very unpredictable and again urethane. So its strat arms or griffins and griffins win because they are very similar to a standard eccentric bolt camber arm.

Above is the forge arm and you can see the bolt inline...griffins are just made from lower stock arms that has an eccentric bolt/washer and welded fence...I don't like the turnbuckle approach as thats better for tension only..since these arms are both in compression as well as tension....well you got the picture above...you tell me? All in all it's probably not going to make that much difference, but the griffins are better.

tell Terry that Paul sent you...Terry takes a set of lower rear OEM arms and welds in a Grade 10 eccentric bolt/washer/fence to the outside bushing bolt...no urethane ..silent....they are some of the best I've ever seen...as good as any...far superior to forge, kmac etc...

terry will tell you more...should be $300-350...

my car...is set to -1.6 degrees with the tire curb protector to protector to wheel well inline...looks insanely perfect...and is balanced. no rubbing...8.5x19"
