The voodoo are adjusted at the outer ends of the control arms, bolts that face outwards

Yeah, you would have to turn the tire to one side to get in there to adjust and tighten. SPL's, all you need is 1/2"drive, 1/2" socket on an 18" extension going over the top of tire to adjust. To tighten, a 3/16" allen socket on a 3/8" drive extension, up from the bottom. No turning of the tire to side, then the other side to adjust and tighten. Rememeber I just been through this.

Are the SPL front camber arms or voodoo13 arms for sale anywhere yet? I wanted to adjust some of my negative camber out of the front, but didn't wanna go with SPC.

You can get the SPL arms from corner3garge now. Think the voodoo13 arms might be released next month.

Bend over and spread them. The SPL's are about $700. By the looks of the voodoo13's. They're going to be higher I bet when they come out.

Don't go cheap on the cambers. Ask mike at corner 3 about some of the SPC horror stories or find martin's link on the SPC rear cambers with pics of his car afterwards. I saw it first hand when they finally got it on a lift at corner 3...He's lucky to not be dead and it ruined his entire suspension + I don't know what else. 8 grand and 5 or so weeks later he is back on the track.

What if your not tracking? I am looking for some camber for the front but I just drive on the street around town and sometimes go for a trip from Vegas to LA? Any ideas on what you guys would recommend? Can I get away with other arms?

To me personally SPL for track. And SPC only for other uses. I don't care for the design of others. With the SPC make sure you tighten the top nut to about 125lbs. Also order extra bolts. There only like $5.

Just came from AMS website and they have the ball joint type, dont know if it replaces the joint or if its just a replacement.

Disreguard it's a replacement for aftermarket types.

I just wanna stress that the Kinetix arms are FINE for street driving and even the track if you're okay with a steel arm and more limited adjustment range.

Don't be afraid to give them a try, they're so inexpensive.
