Default Forge control arm vs KMAC

Anyone used the Forge adjustable control arms instead of the KMAC system. They look like a cleaner solution to me- is their claim they're stronger true or just sales bull#hit?

Default I have the forge arms I lowered about 1 3/4 "..the arms will allow you to

get camber back into spec but, "might" have a problem with toe adjustment. I did and had to go with the kmac on the bottom as well and all is good now. I hind site a full KMAC kit would have been the best choice and lots less $$, If you don't need the whole kit then you can easily find someone here that needs the other 1/2

Default I've been considering those Forge arms for several months now....a more elegant solution than....

....KMAC's imho. When I finally do it I'll be sure to document the event. 14000 miles on H&R/Bilstein/25mm spacer combo has taken its toll on the Kumhos.

Default

That's some serious lowering. H&R/Bilstein combo only dropped me about 0.75"

If there are "no problems," how can there be warranty replacements?

Default I went with KMAC's simply due to cost and the fact I have brand new arms in the car

from the recall. If that wasn't the case - i'd have opted for the Forge units.

Default wasn't it you that had a problem getting the h&r's and the forge arms to work right?

i seem to remember that you had some issues with that, yes?
