Guys any input between these two brands?
Ecs adjustable upper control arms kit or
034 brand?
I gonna have mine replaced and i was wondering if any of you guys worked w one of these brands, i know 034 build race/performance cars,and ECS not so much!TIA
I had the original 034 ones, nice piece and I’d buy them again. I have no history with the ECS ones, but they may be fine. I tend to lean toward 034 though when it comes to mounts or suspension pieces, JHM also works with 034 a fair bit (or used to, not too current on that info personally).
I would go with 034 mostly because I like/respect them as a company. I know 034 has spent the right amount of time on R&D of their products and they generally don’t release something until it works.
Just as an example, Stern’s original adjustable upper control arms for these cars were prone to bending because they didn’t test their crappy copied design. I’m not saying that this will happen with the ECS arms.
ECS is selling budget parts with budget designs developed from budget R&D. They are a good company and some of their tools are even worth buying(good customer service and warranty in my experience). However, I would not put their parts on my car.
Edit: Does ECS have their own branded adjustable UCAs? I can’t find them anywhere. Do you mean SPC? They seem like a pretty good company that specializes in performance suspension components. I would still go with 034.
Yea SPC sorry for the confusion,sold by ECS!
Thanks guys 034 won the prize:)
spc arms I just got them under the moog brand a little under a month ago. I got both sides for $290 shipped.
SPC is just rebranded moog, which you could get for half a price. However you will have to make them fit by either taking some material off control arms themselves or whatever will be in their way. It’s not much, but still. Not sure if they changed design since then to accommodate this firmest issue.
034MS all the way or Stern. I recollect only one case where someone reported bent Stern control arm(s) with pictures. 034MS has quality products and you could get their Adjustables with spherical, they are however pita to adjust in comparison to some other ones.
034 Motorsport all the way. I really like the fully adjustable spherical upper control arms that I have but you need coilovers for those arms. Your alignment shop will love you if you get the fully spherical arms too because it is a PITA to adjust the normal style arms.
Yea i got kwv3’s already on the car, and my guy told me that 034 it is pita to install! 
But im gonna have him do the extra work:)
Spc/moog you still have to remove some material, but its not bad at all.
I have a set of 034 arms with brand new bushings and rod ends I need to get rid of

…only problem is I lost a set of the old rod ends before I swapped over the ball joint piece the pinch bolts holds onto. I’ve messaged 034 about it since I’m sure you can buy that piece by itself pretty cheaply.
I’m asking $325 for them which saves you $120 off getting them new
I have 034 UCA and LCA on my car. Love 034 products. In my mind, if JHM or 034 makes it, i should probably own it.
