Depends on who you ask. Some may have slightly different settings built in(from one another). Tubing size may differ. Cross shaft materials and diameter. Bushing materials and servicability, customer service after the sale is another HUGE consideration for me.

Do a little research and see what brands people are using most. That alone should tell you something.

I can tell you from my own personal experience that the customer service from Speed Tech is fantastic and I will be using several of the parts they make on my own car. The arms they make are in use on MANY cars(hundreds of cars?) And a lot of those are top shelf builds that also get serious track time. I think that speaks for itself about the quality.
You get what you pay for with arms. Sometimes the best price is not the best deal. It's more about the best VALUE.

Please do post some pics. I would like to see your car.

If you have not ordered yet, give Jon or Justin at Driverzinc a call. They are. A Speed Tech dealer and can get you set up with everything you need while answering all the technical questions. Adding subframe connectors and solid subframe/body mount bushings will help you really get the full benefits of the tubular arms. Better steering and handling along with way less body flex. Makes the whole car much more responsive.

Another vote for Blake@Speedtech... Now if my project would only get far enough along that I could bolt them on
