I personally have been waiting and harassing SPL to develop these arms for 2 ½ years. I didn’t want to buy the cheap, less structurally sound products (sorry if that offends anyone) that are currently on the market. If you saw the 350z camber plates SPL made, you know they were the best by far on the market and for my Nismo and all the track driving I do (twice a month & some OTD’s) I have to have something that is very hard to wear out. Plus after driving COTA last month, I definitely need more camber for those hairpin turns (and more brakes too).  Totally bad *** track. Wider than anything I have ever seen/driven and smoother than an airport runway.
I will keep you posted on the progress if you are interested and get some pictures out if they let me. Here’s hoping that we 370z folks FINALLY get we what we have been waiting for. At least what I have been waiting for anyway. lol
Cheers.
Here are the 350z arms I was talking about from SPL's website – you can see how stout and structurally sound they are - nicely built and should not fail:

Here is the latest from the Grand Am Series on the 370z’s progression by the Doran Racing Team:

I think you meant World Challenge (there were 2 370 entries in WC last year), the Doran 370Z in Grand-Am has their own custom designed and engineered control arms. Doran does produce and sell them in small quantities as of the end of last year but they are super expensive and for the die-hard track rats and race cars only.
None the less I think these will be a huge step up from the SPC control arms who's bushings and ball-joints require annual replacement in a track environment. If it is like the 350 version it should have real spherical bushings and be billet aluminum instead of steel and rubber like SPC.
