Default Recommend street camber/contral arms?

I'm using SPL upper control arms for my weekend 350Z.

However, I recently purchased another Z and looking for set of more 'moderate' street camber/control arms.

Is there a good alternative to SPL? I know SPL is considered to be one of the best quality, but I prefer something with sealed knuckle bearings for daily driving.

thanks...Jason

I daily my z with the kinetix uca's and they are awesome. Been using them for over a year now and I bought them with a year of use on them so I'd say they're great for daily driving.

I'm personally buying the Kinetix UCA's end of this month, mainly because after the little bit of research I've done, and the fact that the SPL's are out of my price range at the current moment, they look to be the runner up for me. Only problems I've read about with these is some people get some "squeaking" but with proper lube seem to be a good bang for the buck.

Ditto, once I added some white lithium grease under the black boot mine have never made another peep.

Megan Racing is alright for a moderate street car.

It cannot contend with SPL as far as quality, but it will do its job.

Jason,

check our site out. We have some competitively priced camber/toe/and radius arms for the Z/G's. We have all of them in stock.

oh, I'm getting told to wait 5 minutes before going to our site. They are resetting the server now. i.e. if you read this after about 10 minutes of me posting.......it should be up
