The Complete SPL Front Suspension

Rusty · 06-28-2014, 06:48 PM

I checked my heim joints yesterday when I put my AM Perf oil pan on. My heim joints are still straight.

You mean the sway bar links? Far as I know. SPL doesn't make tie rod ends.

They do now. I was on their website yesterday eye humping the diff bushing kit.

I just checked again they don't. I must have clicked on the 350z page.

Crap that's the only thing I don't have

Why do the joints get twisted up like that?

Think when they tighten up the bolts. The adjusters are in that postion to begin with. Never taking the time to straighten them out. When I had the Z aligned. The guy straighten them out, and they haven't move since.

How are these SPL arms holding up so far Rusty?

Rusty · 02-04-2017, 01:40 PM

No issues so far. 15,000 miles and 20+ trackdays.

Seems I'm gonna go the SPL route. The horrible stories I read about the SPC's, kinetic, and even Z1's very own FUCA's have leave me no choice but to spend more money once and not have to deal with issues later. Wished these SPL's were a little cheaper but oh well... at least they're worth it. Any other SPL parts you recommend?

All of the SPL catalog.

Call SPL, tell them you have a Z34 and want everything. Then give them your credit card and be happy.

No, seriously, my alignment guy (who does all sorts of drift and race cars) was RAVING about how he uses SPL on all the shop cars, how its so much more enjoyable doing cars with SPL stuff.

They have a locking system that makes life a breeze. Full setup let you adjust everything and durable as hell.

Best part, once you have all the arms your wheel options are essentially limitless.

Practically speaking, the fronts are what you NEED. The rear of the Z has enough clearance stock camber spec is gonna be fine on most setups.

But if you're getting coilovers put on and adjusting height you might as well throw all the arms and do it right the first time

Yeah all the SPL stuff looks amazing

And I do have Powertrix Coilover already but couldn't do it all at once. I Wished I would have. Anyhow, I'm in dire need of front camber arms as I'm not symmmetrical on my camber readings... I'm actually off .7 degrees left from right and the car does not handle as I'd like.

I was able to get the rear within specs so I'm good on that end.
