SPC vs SPL Rear Camber Arms (Reliability vs Durability)

Are there any documented cases where SPC has failed and broke?

Oh....YEA! Left rear suspension. Search. It even has pictures of the damage.

And there is a few more that people have been lucky. Here's one thread.

Suspension arms shouldn't break, let alone snapping in half while driving. Consider it a safety precaution. Aftermarket doesn't always mean upgrade. Suspension arms failure will be a costly repair, especially if they fail during high speed.

Didn't want to start a new thread so if anyone can chime in.

Getting new 370z. Going to lower it on swifts + spl front/rear camber + spl lockout kit + spc rear toe bolt.

Now 3-4 few years down the road I may want to switch to coilovers. Would my current spl/spc setup still work? Would it be advisable to purchase brand new set? If I go coilovers will spc rear toe bolt still work or would I need to swap that to spl rear toe arm links?

This will be a DD. Doubt i'll track the car but If I do, won't be more than once or twice a year.

Thanks ^^

Your good. Everything rolls over. SPL is the best SPC is only good for toe bolts. Front SPL camber arms aren't necessary and not a lot run it

The SPL upper control arms are the easiest to adjust.
