If i remember right the the g37 and 370 have same suspension. The arms for both are different than g35s and 350z. I think the balljoint at the end is different ircc

Does anyone in here have a set of Aftermarket front A arms I could borrow for a few days?
The part number on Courtesy's website says they are the same Z33 AND Z34, but all of the vendors have different arms for each model. SPC doesnt make anything for my car, and the only real options are SPL which any bump makes it come out of adjustment and Kinetix which I really dont want to do.
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

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

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.
