In need of camber kit, reccomendations?

roy'sz · 10-03-2012, 04:24 AM

Im going to be purchasing a camber kit soon so that my tires last a little bit longer than they have (roughly 20k). I was thinking of going with the ichiba but i know that the kinetix offered by z1 are a good buy as well being that they are originally the offroad company that works with camburg. What have you put on your car and what is your experience with it? Thank you for your replies and comments.

Somewhere on the forum there is a thread about massive failure of a set of ichiba camber arms... car was wrecked when the arms broke.

I went with SPC because I found a great deal on them in the classifieds, but if I was buying new, I would have gone SPL for the extra build quality. SPC are very reliable and lots of members have them.

edit: found the thread Beware of Ichiba, it will literally break!

SPL and SPC is easily the most recommended for camber arms. SPC's front arms were revised for perfect fitment.

SPL are stronger material and more expensive, but I haven't heard any issues from SPC arms since the revisions over 3 years ago.

I used SPC on my G35 for 4yrs and jus installed front and rears on my Z. They may b a lil more expensive but historically hav proven 2b durable and reliable.

I went with the Kinetix camber arm and SPC toe bolts. The quality is top notch and I was able to get everything aligned within factory specs.
