Is there a need for a camber kit for this?

It looks like stock rays and spacers.
It will depend on your offset.
More than likely you will need camber/toe kit for atleast the rear.

Sport Rays and I have the SPC rear camber arms and toe kit.

Nice!
Anyway guys Im planning to put in a swift springs together with a 19X 9.5 and 19x11 M310 with V12 255/305. Now my question being the complete front and rear camber kits cost around 500+. Which kinda pain in my A** right now to buy.
Which one can I prioritize in buying the front or the rears to make my Z close to OEM's camber alignment? Since can't afford both right now.

Do the rear first for sure.

Ok Kinetics would be it!??

They are very good, SPL has a very good rear setup but not SPC.

Whats wrong with SPC? I have them installed. There is a lot of adjustment and they are way beefier than the stocks. A friend has had them on his 350Z for a couple of years with no issues. He tracks his car as well.

I have no problems with SPC on any of my vehicles upon which I have used them.

Just that the design allows then to slip and or fail. Not saying every one will fail, just that other designs are better suited not to fail.

wheee! · 06-01-2012, 11:48 AM

From an engineering standpoint, both SPL and SPC use the same locking collar design. The SPL has titanium parts for weight savings, but the chances of either design slipping are next to nil!

HOWEVER, the lockout kit from SPL will allow you to set the camber bolt and toe bolt into a locked out position any prevent and movement of the camber or toe arms at the frame connection. You can buy a lockout kit for the SPC arms if you like and achieve the same effect....

spc rear camber arms

wheee! · 06-01-2012, 04:38 PM

Nice pictures..... what's your point? They both use jam nuts to lock the camber position....

Just trying to show the quality of each product, doesn't quite look the same.
