SPC Front Camber Kit Hitting
Alright guys I have an issue and I hope there's a solution because the noise is outrageous!
I'm dropped about 3" on Stance GR+ Coilovers and just got my Front camber arms installed at a local shop that specializes in these cars. I went more negative and every bump or uneven road surface makes the front arms hit my fenders on both sides. I know SPC had an issue with the first batch of arms but I purchased the revised set. What options do I have? And raising the car is not an option lol. Thanks |

I did lower the car an extreme amount for aesthetic purposes and I can't raise it and won't either. This shouldn't be happening just because I added front adjustable A-arms and I need a solution. But like I said raising the car isn't an option.
It happens on uneven surfaces and bumps. And is very loud and annoying. Please help me out guys. |

I agree with Jerggy 3" maybe a little extreme of a drop for this car. In for pics.

Have you gotten it on a lift and see exactly what part of the arms are making contact? Then you can maybe shave off a small portion of that part without losing any integrity of the arms.

It's hitting the metal part of the fender. I have it jacked up now and can see exactly where it's hitting. This was common with the original designed arms but I got the revised ones with the "fix". It's definitely the new arms bc the stock arms never hit.

yeah 3" is pretty slammed, your expecting too much. Maybe another company will make a front A arm that will clear, but I guess it ain't SPC. I know they had some issues with the G35/350Z but they fixed it. But 3" is too damn much I am afraid.
Better to just get air suspension? But if raising is not an option then effed up looking fenders it is! LOL

It's not messing up the fenders on the outside bc it has like a welded piece of thicker metal if that makes any sense. It I was messing up the fenders and it was visible I'd be furious. It's just an annoying sound. Dropped 3" is a lot but that's what camber arms are for for and I find it ridiculous that my control arms hit the fender before the shock bottoms out. It makes no sense and the design flaw needs to be addressed and fixed.

depending on how badly it's hitting that fender weld, can you grind some of the metal off to give clearance?
obviously i too would recommend not running your car so low if you plan on doing any driving on it. |
