For those of us that have lowered 350Z's and G's, this product is really important. My Z is dropped 1" all 4 corners yet after an alignment, it is still wearing the inside edge of the tire badly due to being out of spec. I estimate a 30-40% reduction in the life of the tires at this point. I want to buy new tires but do not want to have the same results as I did with my existing set. After all, 4 high quality performance tires cost in excess of $1000.

+1 on the fine thread adjustment rather than a sliding plate, if possible

+1 on caster adjustment as well

Would be awesome if we could run a street setup most of the time and for the track heads be able to set it to a known camber/caster setup for the track with a wrench and a few marks or set collars to mark locations of setups.

Currently, what we know is a prototype should be out soon. Then testing will begin. Once approved, the item will go into production. Please be patient as SPC has a stringent certification program they must abide by.

I will keep you updated as we learn more. Since the item is not out yet, it is impossible for me to post pricing or adjustment specs.

Thanks for the posts and please continue to refer others to this post.

I'm with EnthuZ and Lightning Guy. I'd like to drop back to factory camber for the street (lowed 1" @ -.2.25 camber) but be able to quickly dial in more camber for track and auto-X events. I really like the price point you're shooting for as well. You should be able to sell very large volumes at that mark.

Subscribing now......

I voted YES that I need the kit soon!

I've order two SPC Rear Camber/toe kits from you guys at www.iapdirect.com, and have had complete success with both kits (two different cars).

My problem on my current 350Z, is that now I have an unexpected camber issue in the front. Same Hotchkis springs as the last, but this time the front camber is out of spec??? Well, it hit me...the weight of the Twin Turbo on this car dropped the front a little more than the last 350Z. So therein lies my camber issue for the front.

I have -1.7 and -1.6 camber in the front and would love to put it right at -1.0

I have used SPC products twice, and I am totally impressed with their products.

I have also purchased from www.iapdirect.com twice, and I am also impressed with their service.

So if these arms come out in the near future, you can count on me to be buying a pair.

I would definitly be interested in these since I am planning on buying the rear camber arms. Maybe a group buy for the front and rear could be in order?

Ive heard of the Cusco upper control arms only being able to provide +.5 degree, which to me does not justify the cost, and the price for another alignment.
I agree completely.

The process was held up a bit as the prototypes they came up with did not give them the results they wanted. Please be patient as I know SPC will come through on these. In the 5 years I have done business with them, they have not let me down.

OK GUYS I JUST RECEIVED AN UPDATE. SPC HAS COME UP WITH A DESIGN THEY THINK WILL BE THE BEST FIT. It will be a combination of upper and lower arms on the front and will adjust camber and caster! They should have a prototype in about 6 weeks. Once they fit it up and give it a ok, it will go into production. THIS IS GREAT NEWS! This should be the BEST and MOST AFFORDABLE kit available!!
