Default Will these work???

So i've read lots threads on the SPL front arms and how they still haven't released them, and also read one thread on the possibility of the 350z SPL arms working but never saw a for sure answer.

I see THMotorsports lists the front arms for our cars but just wanted to be certain before pulling the trigger.SPL PRO V3 Front Upper Arms INFINITI G37 2008 - 2012 SPL FUA Z34

I started my all my suspension mods tonight... Stance Super Sport Plus, SPL toe arms, and SPL camber arms. And I would really like to pick these up if they will work. Partly because i'd prefer to run the same brand but also I just really would rather not go with SPC's again unless I have to.

So has anyone tried them? If not I guess i'll give TH a call tomorrow and try to confirm fitment and possibly pick some up.

It states in your link under fitment that it fits all years/model 370z's....

I see that it states that, but from all the research I've done, SPL never released them for the 370. And they aren't listed on SPL's website.

They slipped just a little one day at the track on my 350. And I think SPL makes a better product

That's what I was thinking. Figured I'd post it up and see if anyone had tried them

So I tried to order them and then they told me they wouldn't work. He said they released them but then called them back because of some clearance issues. Guess that answers my question.

How much have your TQ the nuts in top. Mine are at 150lbs. Never have slipped. Hit the wall one time and bent the tie rod, yet the camber was still good.

I don't remember to be honest but I don't think it was 150lbs. I just saw your video last of you hitting the wall, that was a pretty good lick. I low sided at road Atlanta the last time I was there on my bike.

How many sets total were there? I know there's me and one other person on here. Just curious how rare the doran arms still are.
