That's a little rich for rear camber. Most guys shoot for just under -2. Toe settings are what's more important from what I've experienced. Most run a touch toe in, in the back. I run 1/16" total toe in the rear... 1/32" each side. The OEM specs are slight toe out in the rear, which don't seem to work very good after lowering.

^ I run similar specs to you. For a street car I think -2.0 camber is plenty.

I have the SPL rears which are reasonably priced compared to the others. The front however are twice as much as the others. I know they are FAR better than the others, but damn how can they be close in price with the rears but so FAR beyond in price for the front. I mean 500 seems to be a fair price for us and the company. Seems like they would sell more units at the lower price and make up the difference because of more sales or come out ahead. I know companies are not in business to break even. To me if you sell at a lower price point you'll get your product out there more than selling a few at the sky high prices.

Oh well, what do I know I'm only the customer.

Im with you man, i would not mind paying that much if my profession is on the track many times a year. But for weekend and leisure driving only it hurts to pay such. Yes good product but not practical for daily use even.

Yeah Ill probably settle for SPC. I would just think i miss spelled SPL. Lol

Just think of it this way, the camber arms will pay for themselves in less tire wear and less replacement. As long as they are not $2000 dollars like the front ones for my old 1990 300zxtt were. Those were pricey.
