the reason most people enjoy the few godspeed parts they have is because they are too ignorant to fully understand WHY they think they NEED these parts. most of the cars on this board arent low enough to REQUIRE adjustable arms to correct geometry, so its mostly for eye candy or just "to have". super cool reason.

im not forcing anyone to buy GOOD product, im just trying to help people realize that cheaping out on the parts that hold the wheels on your car MIGHT not be a good idea.... especially if you have any self respect/preservation. have fun with your inferior rod ends with their crap brass bushings... i havent owned them, but some locals bought used godspeed rucas that had maybe 20K on them and the heims had OVER 1/8" PLAY!!!!!!! id totally trust them on my car..... NOT.
your totally missing my point. Im not defending them because I own them, Im doing it because people are coming in here and spreading around rumors. Whether you think its true or not, if you haven't used them, your opinion is nothing but a rumor. My car may not be slammed, but I needed RUCAs because my camber was bad and I was going through tires. If yhat makes me ignorant then great. I also don't jack my car up and pull my wheels off just to check the RUCAs. In the past 2 months there have been quite a few instances when I was working on the rear end(replacing the gas tank, installing coilovers, changing break pads, etc.) and I checked them just to see if people were right, and they weren't. Are you sure the "locals" actually bought godspeed? There are plenty of red control arms all over ebay that don't even have a brand. Godspeed doesn't have any kind of branding on their arms that I know of, so how are you 100% sure? I don't know how many times I have to say this for you and everyone else to understand- If you haven't owned them, keep your opinions to yourself. You have no experience with their products, therefor you have no reason to say anything at all in the thread.

I also have plenty of self respect/preservation, and I will have fun with my GodSpeed control arms. If they break, THEN you can come in and insult me like the little child you are. I mean seriously, because I didn't buy from the companies you like that gives you a reason to talk down on me? real mature

can this thread end or be locked already. obviously some people hate them and others love them. some people want a cheaper(price wise) part and others want more expensive parts. there will always be something better. its what you feel comfortable with. before you buy any part, ask your self a couple questions:

1)do they fit in my budget now or should i save for something else
2)should i listen to people on the forum or get first hand knowledge at the track on how good a product is
3)is this part for track or for daily driving
4) would i trust my life in this product

obviously the third one is the most important. answer these questions and you will figure out which product you want to go with. this thread will never end if we keep going at it like this. this is a ninja flaming thread...its like lets talk s*** on something and then keep dragging it out.

And please no one take this to heart. Im not callin anyone an ***hole or anything. I would just rather see a build thread on the first page than a super long debate on which parts are supreme to others
