X compatibility of G8x front arms on an F8x….
Thinking if G8x LCA and TS/UCA might be longer than F8x and potentially be an oem solution for some added front camber ??

I'd go with the SPL caster adjustable monoballs over the full SPL tension strut arm. Unfortunately I've seen too many failures of their tension strut arm on track (leading to trashed cars) to trust them myself... Quote:

I was not aware of the high failure rate of the tubular arms from SPL. |

Shortly after making that video I met a guy at a C&C who told me the same thing happened to his friend in SoCal recently while he was on the big bank at ACS. He showed me the video of the failure and resulting crash.
