Default Need Advice: Camber and Toe Adjustment

Hey everyone,

I have a couple questions and looking for opinions about adjusting the camber and toe on my Z. The guy I bought the car from said it was lowered (still in the process of verifying that info) and I replaced the stock 17in rims (one was bent) with 19s from a g35. In the future I plan on buying coil overs, not sure on oem style or true coil overs yet, guess it kinda of depends on the deal I can get when I plan on buying. I do plan on doing a few track days a year, nothing super serious, just going out with friends and having some fun.

Now after doing some research on here I have some questions and could use some opinions and suggestions. I will be the first to admit that I don't know everything about suspensions. Any way, I have been looking into UCAs, camber arms, and toe bolts and was wondering what everyone thought about SPC and Kinetix parts? I have read some horror stories about Ichiba and just want to make sure what I spend my money on will last.

Also if I end up getting true coil overs, I will delete the spring buckets, so if I get toe bolts now, will having to enlarge the slot for the toe bolts effect the delete arm?

I am just trying to plan for the future as much as I can.

Thank you everyone for the help and suggestions.

you will use eccentric lockout when you go to a toe arm, so enlarging the hole doesnt matter.

Those are very popular brands among members. Take some time and do a search

I was actually in the process of searching but wasn't finding much (but i was at work so could search too much) I did a little more research and well its still a toss up but im leaning toward SPC parts. Well at least UCAs, the Kinetix ones look to be kind of a pain to adjust.

If anyone has any experience with installing these parts or the company's customer service feel free to chime in. I like to buy items from companies that i know are willing to help me out and talk to me if problems arise.
