If you're running coilovers I'd get the SC ones. On 26th Jan, 2012 Tom Fenton said:

They look like better quality to me, wouldn't trust the minisport ones they look like they'd snap clean in half given any chance :/ On 26th Jan, 2012 Tom Fenton said:

I have been running the kad arms now for some time, I would say they are fit and forget, apart from when say its getting strapped down at the RR or on the back of a AA truck lol. But I have been very happy with them. Also if your getting them from kad you can ask and get the lump CNCed off to run it on a beam.
I have started posting on Instagram also my name on there is turbomk1golf

Having experience with 7075 aluminium alloy I can only advise to be suspicious of any company claiming such a grade for components,

Not wanting to put anyone down but sc have a good name for themselves but I haven't seen "goldie" running low 12's nor any signiclficant info on there arms. I know they are made by dsn classics not themselves like the rest of their ally items. Drives

If i see anything in 7075 that is anodized and shiny, I am skeptical. It is do-able, but not as simple as other alloy grades for sure. On 17th Nov, 2014 Tom Fenton said:

Thank you David, my very thoughts also, and as said from experience not so doable,

Is it A-Series only? I think it should be... So when some joey comes on here about how his 16v turbo vauxhall is great compared to ours, he can be given the 'bird'... On 26th Oct, 2004 Tom Fenton said:
