SPC camber kit after 10K miles
So, what do you guys think? Should I try to get it replaced through SPC's lifetime warranty (I think that's the warranty on these) or should I just throw it away and go with Ingalls?

Damn, that's sux! U should call SPC and get new one. Because it is lifetime warrantly. If u decide to sell it then someone will not interest to buy it because of crack issue.

SPC knows about this failure and all you need is the invoice number and they'll replace for free. I've mentioned this being an issue with the SPC kit before. Supposedly the new kit doesn't have an issue, but I've see the new kit fail too. This is why I went with the Ingalls kit.

I don't have the powdercoating, but then I don't have a show car either.
Also make sure when you get your alignment that the alignment guy TIGHTEN the lock nuts.

The ingalls kit also rusts very badly atleast the kit I have. So I complained and they sent me 4 replacement rods which I then got Powder Coated Black. however they are still sitting in my garage until I get some more suspension parts powdercoated.

Man, thats ugly...I guess I better take a look at mine...
Problem for me is that I bought these from TinkySD, so unless he still has the invoice from when he bought them, I guess I'm screwed if they need replacing?

Marcus = the only vendor that tells people not to buy a product which he sells.

If you run a company, would you sell a product with lifetime warranty and lifetime labor at a price that still makes profit and people will buy? All product will fail at a certain point. Most company will cover the replacement part and return shipping charge during the warranty period. But the consumer has to ship the item back and cover his own uninstall and install labor cost. I believe these terms are usually part of the warranty statement for most products.
