I've been doing a lot of research on this and have narrowed it down to spc rear arms. I just wanted to get everyone's opinion on which ones i should get. I can get the reboxed dorman from amazon for around $50 a piece but they don't have their xaxis joint.
I also found the 67475 which does have the xaxis joint for about $250 for the pair.
Is it worth spending twice as much for that?
 
You get what you pay for.

I have SPC arms. Installed them back in April and so far they have been flawless.

Can't go wrong with SPC or Buddy club
 
From what I've seen the dorman arms are spc just reboxed. I am mostly wondering if the difference in the bushings is worth the price. Someone on here bought the dormans from Amazon and said they had spc stamped right on the arm.

I bought the Dorman ones a couple weeks ago. All parts have SPC stamped on them.

Already put 2000 miles on them at the Dragon and other sprinted mountain drives. No issues so far.
 
From what I can tell nomar got the new bushing end. Id recommend them especially for the price.
 
I decided on 67470 spc arms like above with the rubber bushing. From what I read the axis joint is going to be a bit more stiff and I believe they need to be greased periodically. Mine is a daily with tein street advance. I have the arms max positive and still have about -1.5* in the rear.

Also I emailed spc about this same question a while back. They wouldn't confirm that the parts are the same. Possibly the bushings are different? They look identical to the pic above though.

Let us know if you order the dormans.

@Nomar06 ordered the dorman arms recently and got the new "heim joint" SPC arms

I think I misspoke by saying heim joint. The Skunk2 uses a true heim joint

the SPC 67475 uses an "xAxis" joint which is a metal bushing and according to SPC "provides less deflection but can add some noise/vibration"

the SPC 67470 appears to be the same as the Dorman like Nomar posted above. These look like the traditional rubber busing (black center vs bright silver center). These are the same ones I have.

Dead pics
 
So the spc 67470 you get less noise/vibration but can lose alignment and the 67475 won't come out of alignment as easily at the cost of some noise? Or did i misinterpret that?
 
no i dont think either will "lose alignment". the busing is a fixed piece only the adjuster nut changes the camber position and that is the same on both arms. Honestly I think it is just a bushing design preference
 
Either way I'm still getting the ones that are on Amazon next week and hopefully i will be happy with them.
 
Yes i did get them installed but i didn't get any pics. The install only took about an hour doing it by myself in the driveway. I've only had them on for about 1500 miles but as far as i can tell they are doing their job.
