Default Brand New Front Camber Arms! Please Vote!!

****[B]UPDATE: SPC FRONT CAMBER/CASTER ARMS ARE IN STOCK!! They arrived a couple days early so anyone with a preorder, your kit has shipped out.

We only have a handful left for sale on the batch coming in. If you know of anyone waiting on these, now is the time to order as I currently do not have a specific ETA on the next batch.

Thanks for hanging in there guys. Let me know if you have any questions. ***

Hello, this is Peter with Import Auto Performance (FL G35Club Sponsor) and I need the help of every member on this forum as well. As you all know, the options all of you have for camber arms aren't the greatest. Either they are low cost and do not provide much adjustment or they are extremely over priced.

Well, we are one of the largest SPC (Specialty Products Company) dealers in the country and we met with them at SEMA last month. As many of you have experienced, the SPC product for the rear of the G35/350Z is an exceptionally well made kit that does the job perfectly for a very reasonable price. Therefore, we felt G and Z owners would benefit and appreciate the same for a front camber kit.

After speaking with the Vice President of Sales, he decided to push this item to the top of the R&D list. I informed him of the large need for this item to be manufactured with enough adjustment to correct most anyones camber and for it to be priced competitively.

Now this is what I need from YOU. Please post on our poll that you would be interested in this item if it could be released quickly. I will use this as ammunition to keep them moving on this product until it is released.

THANKS FOR THE HELP!!! HOPEFULLY WE CAN WORK TOGETHER TO GET THIS ACCOMPLISHED.

SPC worked perfect for my rear, it would be great if you guys came up with something that would give around +/-1.5 degrees of adjustment for the front. That doesn't have the noise issues some of the others have had.

I am def interested as I have -2 camber in the front. My tires lasted 22K like this, but I would like to get it +1 degree. If they could develop arms that can provide true +1(or more) degree from actual, they would have a client in me for sure. 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 completely agree with you and that is why we are heading this up. Thanks for the post. I will keep everyone updated as we receive info from SPC.

i got my finger crossed about this product coming out!!! i'm thinking of running 9.5 et19 up front for spring so a true camber arm that could help better than the cusco units will be awesome.

I'd be interested if the adjustment range allows for ADDING more negative camber to mildly lowered Z's.

Ability to rapidly change camber would be a major plus. As would caster adjustment!

I would have been interested if I hadn't already purchased the 350evo camber arms. Those arms are awesome, and they are constructed and finished like they are trully a $850 piece. But, for me, I would have preferred to spend $500 or less and compromise a little bit on the product. IMO, those camber arms are equivalent to placing a diamond on a stainless steel setting....

I would definately get SPC's front camber kit if it gave me enough adjustability to get my toe and camber back into factory specs.

The price of this kit should be at $300 or less for the front set.

I'm sure all 350z guys would buy it.

Thanks for the post. We are going to try and come in around the price of the cusco or kinetix arms at approx. $400. However, it is hard to say until we have a prototype developed.

Please continue to refers members to this poll.

Yea, I would be interested in a kit that could adjust camber, as well as caster! Ask him when this product will be available. I would like to know, as I want to buy before March. But, I might just end up going with the cusco's if the wait is too long.

This item is being pushed through R&D (what SPC stated last I spoke with them). I will be calling them mid Jan for another update and will keep this post updated. Thanks for the post.

I would be interested in an upper control are that would not only be adjustable but either have stiffer rubber in the bushings or accept the stiffer factory Nismo bushings as an upgrade.

It would be nice if the adjustment mechanism is controlled by a threaded mechanism for fine adjustment.
