Can't decide...
350Evo or SPL...
Which Camber Arm would you choose ??

 

I'd like to know as well .... please state reasons why you pick one over the other. Price is certainly a factor.

 

I didn't think you could get the 350evo's anymore

They still list them on their website.
I'll call them tomorrow...

 

I got my 350evo arms 2 months ago..Got them within a week of my order

 

How do you like them? What camber are you running (stock height?) ?

Also, how easy/hard was the install?

 

SPL. Why? Friend owns them and swears by them and SPL's customer service.

 

Ok, for awhile it was hard to get in touch with them.

 

I have no complaints so far and as for camber, I'm temporarily running tein s techs springs til I get coils so I'm not sure what the camber is. It was kinda hard installing them since the 350evo are bulky.

 

SPL FTW! Some of the highest quality parts I have seen and great customer service as mentioned earlier.

 

Both are obviously well constructed units, but here is how I would break down the decision.
-SPL adjusts caster as well as camber.
-SPL adjustment is by a threaded rod design which I consider superior to the slip box design of the 350Evo. Of all the slip box designs out there, the 350Evo appears to be the nicest of the bunch, but I still consider a threaded adjuster to be strongest and safest out there.
-Price of SPL is much more attractive.
-I can't speak for 350Evo customer service, but SPL has a great reputation in that arena.

 

I think one pro of the 350EVO is that it is easier and faster to make on the fly camber adjustments while at the track due to it's sliding design versus spl's threaded design. Either way you go you can't lose.

 

That leads to the other question of:- Are the 350EVO arms worth the ~$300 premium over SPL?

 

don't the spl's have a great camber adjustment range too?

 

^^^Yes. We had our Cuscos maxed out before switching to SPL

 

do the cusco's and 350evo arms have the same amount of adjustability though? I thought the 350evo's had more

 

I don't know. I have never had the 350evos. I am just comparing the SPLs to my previous camber arms.

 

I believe I read somewhere that 350Evo claims +1 to -3 degrees of adjustment which is the same as SPL but I don't recall reading of anyone's personal experience.

I currently have my SPL's set to -3.5. They are easy to adjust. Just loosen the jam nuts and turn the adjustment rod. Count the turns or measure the length of you want to make changes at the track.

 

Based on the design on the SPL arms though, it looks like they can be adjusted for much more positive camber, and are hindered by fenderwall clearance rather than actual adjustability limits like the 350evo. Not sure if this equates to more actual adjustability though as maybe the 350evo arms were designed to be adjusted only to the point where fenderwall clearance becomes an issue. Anyone from SPL want to comment on this? I know I've read that with some fenderwall modifications, you can increase the adjustability of the SPL's.

 

Hi,

That is correct, our street spec arms for example can actually adjust to +3 deg, however due to clearance issues with the fenderwell that is not actually feasible.
