I am not aware of any front camber arms with more adjustment range than the SPL's. You get caster adjustment also as an added bonus.

SPC will offer both camber and caster adjustment. This company has been around for over 30 years and have developed kits for auto makers such as Dodge, Ford, etc. They are also the OEM of the Eibach kits.

Depends on the setup you have (height/wheel/tire)

The SPC kit will correct .5 degrees more camber than the SPL kit. The SPL kit can give you .5 degrees more negative camber than the SPC kit. They both offer -1 to +1 degrees of caster adjustment. SPC kit is $120 lower in cost than the SPL kit.

SPC
-1.5/+3.5 camber
+/- 1 caster
Steel tubing
Rubber bushings
slip box design with set caster increments and hub spacers

SPL
-2/+3 camber
+/-1 caster
Chromoly tubing
Chromoly spherical bearings
Treaded adjusters with infinite caster adjustment within the range-nothing needs to be removed for caster/camber adjustment once installed.
Well worth the extra few bucks if you asked me.

Great quick reference to show the comparison which is why I chose to go with the SPL upper arms.

I can get -3 to +3 on my Kinetx A-Arms, yet a real pain in the *** to adjust. I changed there locking nut from a full to a half nut and got the extra negative camber than they advertise. And as this nut doesn't take any load from the car, there is no risk to failing. And these come with Urethane bushings.

These A-Arms are just a pain in the *** to change the camber and there is no Caster adjustment like the SPL's. Still think the 350EVO is the best design, yet you can't get them anymore.
