Hardrace vs SDI adjustable control arms

[Bmwe5320023.0]

You may have seen my other thread about silver project control arms.

As I'm having alignment issues, I'm thinking about ruling out issues with the adjustable control arms.
I have them due to a 1.5 inch lift kit from ecstunning.

I never had any experience with either, and would appreciate any input of you tried either, or maybe even both! Wonder if there's been any failures with either.
For silver project, I saw photos of them bending, but other people said they were fine.

I had good experience with Goodspeed for E39, but they have nothing for E53

I've had silver design for almost 3yrs. First two with Bilstein B6 / H&R sport springs, last year with KW V3's. My ONLY complaint is rapid corrosion in a salt state (Nebraska). This allegedly could have been prevented with a waxoyl-type protectant, but I failed to anticipate this issue. I plan to replace with same silver arms, but with a good protectant barrier.

I called the alignment shop back, after 2 alignments got knocked out.
They're saying it's the silver project control arms.
I gotta get under the vehicle and check those alignment marks again...

I have the SDI control arms on my E66 haven't used them since they were installed. But they are made in USA by one guy, with quality materials.
