The Alta arms are hemi based which are very precise, but be prepared for increased driving noise. I rode mine for about 6 week before I pulled them and went back to stock. I have had my Megans for about the 6 weeks now, and they are as quiet as stock.

I've had 4 altas on for a while now and still have no noise. I do keep them fairly well greased up, though. I'm surprised because I expected tons of noises to be coming from them, but up until now, nary a peep.
