I'm hoping they will be around the same price as the z33 arms, but i know they put a lot of development into them so they might be a bit more!

Z33 arms are $759

They told me the same thing in Dec.

So who has the best right now? I will need some in the near future so I can adjust to zero camber when daily driving and -5 when daily drifting. Looking for some that will allow me to do so which i can save the settings and switch back and forth.

The only ones that would be easy to switch back and forth IMO are the Doran arms which unfortunately aren't commercially available.

With all the copying going on out there, I'm really surprised someone hasn't reverse engineered the Doran arms from the pictures they have posted.

Here's a picture of the SPL front arms on the SFR Enterprises WC 370z. No shims in sight. Maybe they changed the design since then but I highly doubt it.

They make great stuff but the problem has always been cost
Doran arm? $1500
SPL arms? $800

I'm guessing on price but I'm probably not far off.

That looks like a lot of adjusting and with the possibility of on uneven lengths since you have to adjust both ends.

If u dont need to adjust ur camber, why not just do 1 tac weld on the spc ... so then its not going anywhere...

Both boots have torn off on mine, the hardware is as cheap as possible.

They're heavy, they're ugly (reaching?)

They're just cheap, functional parts.

If you can set it and forget it, and get them to be in the range you want (I'm at maximum negative with them and my swift springs, -2.6 deg) then they're fine. Otherwise, I'd look elsewhere.

Did you have version one or version two?

DR_ · 12-27-2012, 03:15 PM

Do you want more negative than -2.6? Are you going by tire wear or temps?
That isn't an extra -1.5 degree over stock is it?
I'm not going to adjust my camber once I feel it is good compromise between street and track. I have -1.6 with coilovers lowered about .75" or so and I am wearing the outside on the track. I have not taken temps yet though. One option I am considering is just getting offset bushings on the OEM upper control arms.

Wish I had my stock arms, I'd consider that as well.

I don't personally want or need more than -2.6, someone might tho?

And I based it originally off of just aggregating info on this site, but confirmed with temps. The front is pretty close to perfect, at least with the weight it was last time I put it on the track (lost a lot since then).

It'll all change when I buy coilovers in a couple of months, anyway.
