Can anyone hook a brother up to just let me see if they will fit? Even if you just have one... Let me know!

Thanks
I like my Kinetix on the 350. Do you have a concern with them?

On the 370z people have been complaining about the SPL and Kinetix coming out of alignment when you hit bumps. Apparently the SPL one will come out of alignment when tracking.

Have you had any issues with the bushings on your Kinetix arms? I may just get a set of those if you have had a good experience.

So far they have been great and there is a new version of the hemi end that has a much nicer boot. I have had mine about 8 months, maybe 6-7 events. There is really nothing to move on the Kinetix upper arm that would through the alignment out. The hemi joint is threaded so you are going to have to bend it for the alignment to change.

Do you mean spc or spl arms. I havent seen the spl arms in person but if I am thinking of the right ones they look very nice. Now spc with the little screws looks very weak

The only thing about the kinetix that i dont like is you have to unbolt the ball joint from the knuckle to change the camber. The spls can be done on the car. Im not sure if the newer version of the kinetix is different

Still the same, unbolt and turn.

Good to know....cause I don't want to have to worry about my camber changing from event to event.

Thanks Scott.

On the kinetix there really is no way it can move. Its just a threaded balljoint. It would have to unbolt from the knuckle to move. On the spl v1s they are similar to the kinetix but have a big turnbuckle so its could move if the nuts back off that hold it in place. The Spl v2 and v3s wont move unless the tension bolts were to move.

Exactly right with the Kinetix. I put them on my Z for two reasons... the lower cost is a plus, but also because there is no risk of alignment slipping under load.
