SPC 1-arm with J-power 3-arm Rear Camber Kit

Greetings!

I recently lowered my car with Eibach Pro-kit springs and Koni FSD combo. I installed a one-arm SPC camber kit, but it wasn't able to bring the camber back in spec. Not wanting to destroy my Goodyear stickies, I went ahead and purchased a J-power 3-arm kit. My decision was based mainly on the low-cost (I've run out of money modding) and on the mostly positive opinions I've read about the J-power arms on many forums.

Since it's too late to get the other two SPC arms, I just wanted to know if it would be possible to keep my SPC arm and install the other two arms from J-power? Has anyone tried this?

In one of the forums I read that the rubber bushings on the J-power arms are susceptible to failure. I just checked the bushings on the J-Power arms. The rubber is super-soft. Makes me wonder how so many people have not faced any problems. I don't know what SPC uses in their arms. High density Polyurethane?

Your feedback would be much appreciated.
In the meanwhile, I will be testing the set-up and let you know how it goes.

Cheers!

that is correct, DA is not a "track or competition " oriented forum....hence why they seem to hold up for general vehicle use...
