In other words, if you are lowered and your camber has changed from stock settings to -2.5. SPL will add another -2.5 making it a total of -5 degrees of camber. That's if you wanted or needed that much.
When lowered with a setting of -2.5, the Z1 race version control arm will add another -3.5 making your total negative camber -6.
The Z1 arm also offers a good range of adjustment to go less negative. So much so that it can get you to +.25 at stock height or lowered 1". Due to the ball joint hitting the chassis, you will not be able to exceed +.25. So, if you are lowered 1" with the stock arm and your camber is -2.5, adding the SPL arm will give you 1 degree making your camber -1.5 max instead of -2.5.
See the chart below. The 1.5 stock height is only a reference point and your car may not have a stock camber of -1.5. Please keep in mind that the numbers will vary with each car do to the tire size, wheel size, and ride height. This chart is not showing arm limitations due to the chassis.
Ride height----------Stock arm--------SPL max-------Z1 max
Maximum amount of negative
stock______________-1.5____________-4__________-4.25
1"Drop_____________-2.5____________-5 _________-6
Minimum amount of negitive
stock______________-1.5____________-.5_________+.25
1"Drop_____________-2.5____________-1.5________+.25
If you were dropped more then 1-2" you would be able to get closer stock settings out of Z1 arms then you would the SPL. Same with going negative, you would have more - adjustment as well shown in the chart above.

For anyone who has installed the Race version (as opposed to the Street version), have you noticed a lot of noise? I track my car 4-5 times per year and I would prefer to pay the extra $20 for the Race version, as long as the noise isn't unbearable.
