Default A-Sports front upper A-arms : anybody running these?

I've been on a buying spree lately - picking up all the parts I've wanted for a while.

Well, one of the last things on my list is some A-sports upper A-arms.

Anybody running these?

Are you happy with them?

How's the adjustment?

Improved clearance to underside of shock tower?

Caster adjustment?

Happy with the camber adjustment?

Down side?

Subscribed for future reference as well. Only person I know of that had them was Airbag Club Ryan if I recall, he had them on his EK hatch.

Running these in my black ITR and they work great. Great quality craftsmanship and fitment. Only bad thing is they are hard to find and typically expensive ($500-550)

A-sport Japan. Pretty sure you can't find a retailer that carries them here in the USA.

Great product but expensive. Compare to the sliding ball-joint ones, these won't have the slipping problem and have better clearance.

Gil, I knew you'd be one of the guys to rock a set of these.

I was expecting to pay $600, so that's a good deal at $500-$550!

I don't see any caster adjustment though. (Unless it's at the heims?)

The only other A-arms that look interesting are the ones kiwi has - supposed to have nice caster adjustment also.

Wow...way better than the slip-prone Junk2's that seem to be popular.

Are they difficult to tune properly though because each arm is independently adjustable?
