SWEET!

I'm in...maybe if they could make a front and rear kit for us folks like a package. I've heard great things about the rear setup they have.

 

If you could get a GB in the works over the next week or so - I'm in, but can't wait 6 weeks to get this done.

Lowered Roadie - alignment is FUBAR
ZDayZ is tooo close for me to wait as I will need new rubber before then anyway

 

I can't speak for the SPC arms, but I can tell you that I have the first set of prototype Camber/Caster arms produced by www.splparts.com. I didn't even know this thread existed or I would have posted earlier to let you guys know these were in development. SPLParts specializes in suspension parts for 300zx's, 240sx's and are now building parts for the 350z. I've been using SPL products on my 91 300zx track car for several years now and the quality is second to none. Here is a pic on my car:


As you can see they will provide precise threaded adjustment and will provide more ajustment than other products currently on the market. Fine tuning of caster is also possible with these arms. No rubber bushings anywhere for precise steering control. I tested these out this weekend at Motorsport Ranch in Ft Worth on the new 3.1 mile road course and the car handled amazing. Please note that the production version will have a turnbuckle adjuster at the upright arm attachment point so nothing will need to be disconnected during alignment. The production version will also come in nickel plating.

These prototype arms look great! Too bad I installed a set of Unitech arms yesterday. These look a lot like the Spyder adjustable arms I put on my Lotus. Although I needed to remove the Spyder arm to adjust.....Please be sure to provide adjustment range for users who have major drops to be able to bring back to OEM camber specs, & to allow those that haven't dropped to add more negative camber for track use. I really like how they allow caster adjustment! Good job!

 

Enthuz, thanks for the kind words. Based on the calculations Kuah at SPL did, they should provide -2 and +3 degrees from stock. Based on the design you will never have to worry about the adjustment slipping like some of the slip box designs out there-these are very solid pieces. We were short on time to get the car together for MSR but we checked them fully shortened and the SmartCamber guage showed -3.5 on my car. I ran them at -3 on the track which is a bit much for street tires, but as I said it cornered amazing and we didn't have time to get a true alignment done. Very crisp turn in/steering response and this was setting it as close to stock caster as we could. When we get it on the alignment rack, we'll play with the adjustments more. Addding this camber significantly reduced the scalloping of my tires also. Kuah is hoping to have the production version on the market in about 3-4 weeks for those of you that are interested.
I guess a comparison to Lotus suspension can't be a bad thing! I was actually able to pass a few elises over the weekend running in the red group.

 

How much caster adjustment is available with these?

 

Way to hijack the thread man.

 

I'm definitely excited to hear about the SPC front camber kit. I'll subscribe to this thread and I'm definitely in for a group buy if anyone wants to join.

 

you should start a thread of your own so that people don't get confused here and think this is the sbc kit

i am waiting on the sbc personally...since i already have the rear and they have a great reputation i am sure their front kit will be one of the best on the market

 

+1

 

Didn't mean to offend anyone by replying in this thread-sorry if that was the case. My intention wasn't to hijack, I just wanted to let you guys know there was another option in the works that satisfied what people asked for in this thread and I was pretty excited about them after testing them out last weekend. I will start a new thread as soon as I get a chance. I'm sure the spc arms will be a quality product also.

 

Thanks for the post. Guys, please continue to refer anyone you know to post on this poll if they are interested. I will keep you guys updated.

 

Bump, I need a set of these soon. Please don't make me buy another brand because my front tires can't wait for these.

 

Interested. I am getting front arms (looking at 350evo), coilovers (tein flex), and SPC camber kit soon.

 

"Yes, I am interested as long as it is available within the next 5-6 months."

the 6th month is coming up

 

Its funny to see all of you guys posting today as I just received an update from SPC. I know the 6th month is coming up, however, as noted earlier SPC did run into some delays in the R&D of this product. They did not want to release it before it was exactly right. They stated today that they should have a batch ready the end of July. We will be the first to receive these as we have been working closely with SPC on them. I will definitely keep you guys updated on this and will start taking preorders when it gets a little closer.

For those of you that have been waiting, I recommend continuing to wait if possible as they will be well worth the wait. The combination of pricing and adjustment will make these the best kit out there.

Thanks for the continued support on these.

 

I definitely want them to get it right the first time. I would hate to the problem some other companies have, and then everyone is always asking if it's an early batch of the product or a "newer" version that corrects all of the mistakes of their original release.

Anyways, 3 more months is worth the wait to me. I think the price/quality of these will be excellent. I hope they're black too. What's with companies painting or coating arms funky colors anyways?

Do you know if the install will be a direct bolt-in. No enlarging holes or anything like that?

 

I'm down for the group buy when these are released. I love my SPC rear arms.

 

SPC doesn't want to release any info until they have confirmed the release of them. I will post as soon as I have the specs and images.

 

Anyone have a good guess on how much these are going to be??
