The new ones look like they could be the same length but have 3 holes.

Don't have any measuring implements to hand, but it looks to me like the holes aren't in quite the same place either.

Is it just an additional mounting hole kyosho have added or do I have the wrong part?

Definitely not SP wishbones.

Any ideas?

LA220 should only have 2 holes and is listed as the standard ZX5 arms.

The only arms with three holes is the LA243 mid arms (which come with standard ZX5 front arms), and those should be shorter than your stock arms.

The SP arms are LA255 which have the SP front arms and an even shorter rear arm (same as the stock RB5 and also only have two shock mount holes)

Hope that helps..
