What he said! Heheh! Didn't get a notification for the other post, but was going to respond.

What I will add is this, that the SPC uppers do not have a cross brace, and there can be deflection in them. You get the same benefits from the GW 42A or the Speedtech upper, both are less than the SPC offerings.

I suggested the knock-off lowers over using the factory one, deflection on the factory arms are ridiculous. You don't get as much camber advantage, but in most cases you may not notice anyway. I believe the GWs and the knock-offs have 1 degree built into them, but I would have to go back and look to be sure of that.

There's no significant advantage to running tall ball joints with the AFX spindles, just to say it out loud. Never thought of doing that, but if you have questions, call Speedtech and ask. It may not even be supported.

With the GW uppers and lowers, AFX spindle, at 4-4.5 degrees caster, the wheel is not noticeably not-centered in the wheel opening in my config.

Another thing, I have no issues with the steering arm (contact) with 18x9s and 5.31 backspacing. There's even room for more when it comes to the steering arm.
