Edit: Here's a couple links that explain suspension setups etc. (not Z specific but still informative)

Yeah, I've read that on the various posts regarding SPC product. Quick question: are camber arms and control arms the same thing or is there something different about them? Sometimes the terms seem interchangeable, other times I wonder if one is a more basic form of the other (ie: as springs are to coil-overs).

Thanks for your input.
