rear camber kit and upper control arms
After installing KW V1's and rolling my fenders, I have to complete my suspension with rear camber arms and front upper control arms to get my alignment back in spec. I bought eibach kit 5.72050K rear arms. Now I did my research and apparently they have updated the part from previous. What I mean by that, is the arms I received are completely straight, no curve as usually pictured. Which kind of makes me think they sent me toe arms. I wanted to confirm with those that have this kit. So are these the updated arms, or did they send me toe arms, not camber arms? Also, with adjustable camber arms, I'm assuming most are using the lockout kit when it comes to securing the arm to the rear subframe. Any drawbacks? Secondly, I'm in the market for upper control arms. I had my heart set on Z1 performance a-arms, but after some research, there are quite a few 370z owners/350z owners that have the heim joint backing out on them, which worries me. Any input on good A-arms would be appreciated.

I appreciate the response, but I am having a hard time understanding, based on where the arm is located. How can it adjust both, when in an OEM setup, the toe bolt is attached to the spring bucket? Unless you mean that the kit includes the eccentric toe bolt kit included into camber arm kit

Z1 are over priced!? 250 for arms vs SPL 700?

I never said they are overpriced, and I believe you get what you pay for. I am willing to pay for quality. I googled Z1 and recently in this year, multiple people have noted major failures.

read through, 3 failures, I understand through the thread, Z1 took care of them, but it was just a concern

Tomek, I have switched to solid bushings for almost everything except my subframe and rear differential...no noise but to each their own!
You don't drill anything using the eccentric lock out kit.
As for SPL - only get it if you want caster adjustability...otherwise yes it is overpriced.
Z1 is overpriced comparing to ebay arms, it's pretty much the same quality. Z1 has some good products, however some is like the general off brand that WalMart/Target offers. Just my opinion.

The rear set you got is a great street kit. The sets i have installed came with toe bolts and lockout washers.
Front arms, kinetic or the new SPC is fine for most people's street needs. If your serious about tracking, then I suggest different arms

I have that same kit from tire rack, I haven't gotten around to putting them in yet but they come with eccentric bolts for the coil bucket, and your supposed to use your oem hardware to mount the camber arm..
If you mounted using a lockout bolt kit it would probably be better because the oem eccentric bolt could move and mess up your alignment under stressful driving situations. It most likely won't make a huge difference...
Your correct about the subframe you would need to elongate the holes to use the supplied bolt kit, I am also not wanting to modify my subframe for those bolts so im going to install the camber arms bring it for an alignment and hope for the best...
