The arms themselves seem to be sturdy enough but some have reported geometry problems and difficulty aligning but that could be from frame sag.

For me....I don't care about Chinese engine parts. If the engine comes apart...well whatever. Now if your front end comes apart you could be done. At a minimum your car is going to be a mess, just to save a few hundred bucks. With American made arms from SC&C, UMI, Ridetech, BMR, Speedtech you get quality parts in a CRITICAL safety spot on your car. You also get top shelf customer service and support. I'm willing to bet the guy selling the cheap arms doesn't hardly know the difference between camber and caster....
