Rage, right already replaced the bolts once in them in June, driving home tonight and think they've snapped again, ******* things.

Now starting to get pissed off with them now, also worried as I plan on going on a few more track days , and the last thing I want is them to go on track and cause an accident.

So, I'm thinking going back to the oem arms .. However my car is this low ( see link and scroll down to clean pics )
So wondering will my tyres get destroyed with standard camber arms with the lowness it is? Or any other advice . Talk to me :D

did you replace them with high tensile strength Stainless steel ones?
 
Mines similar lowness to that with no arms Doesn't catch.
I'm going to buy hardrace camber arms I think?

THIS^^^?

I just bout 20 off ebay for £3.55 for my SKunk 2 Pro Front Arms, just incase.

Ill be checking that they're stamped 12.9 on the head or they will be going right back. Make sure they are stamped dont just believe they are HTS.
 
Hmm , ok but I need my car now lol.

Umm benefits of uprated over standards ? I don't run any camber at all, never intend to..

Any advice ?

Jesus ******* Christ. None on the drivers side left , 2 on the passengers side !
 
standard arms are going in.

will do some more reading and sort some tensile bolts in the mean time.
 
That's bad you've ended up with no bolts in one side!
 
its terrible mate.

doubt anything will happen but sent BuddyClub an email. standard arms are going to go on tomoroow til I sort some new bolts.

if they seem ok and i get even tyre wear and no change in handling i might just leave them !
 
I'm going for hardrace/cyberspeed ones. The buddy club ones don't seem to be up to the job.
 
Skunk 2 pro series are a far better arm,have them in my race car and they are great
 
Do you use them on the road or only on track ?

As my BC ones are the p1 race series, I imagine the potholes, dodgy speed bumps don't do them any good?
 
I have one bolt snapped on my driver side BC arm iirc and i thought it was just my luck.
Seems like it could be a possible common issue.

Would hts bolts be less prone to snapping if i replaced mines with those??
 
Alot of people have had the same problem mate

Yes apparently high tensile bolts would help the problem.
 
Yeah I believe that is the remedy for this issue.
But my concern would be if these companies won't pay out for decent bolts what's the rest of the product like?
 
Hence why mine are coming off for now mate. Just gona roll with standard
Going to wait for an email back from buddyclub and see what they have to say
 
Let me know as well what buddyclub says Aleex :nice:
See if they might replace the bolts for us or whatnot...
