SPC front camber arms?

Default SPC front camber arms?

I don't track my car, but my swift lowering springs have my front tires showing pretty bad negative camber. I have SPC camber arms in the rear pulling the rears into about -1.5, are the SPC front arms ok for DD with some "aggressive" driving occasionally? Don't want to be paying for an alignment every other day either...

Probably ok. I'd go AMS or kinetix though if you're worried about alignment. AMS are $179

AMS 370Z FRONT ADJUSTABLE CAMBER ARM - Suspension - 370Z / G37

I however would replace the bushings and tie rob bearing.

Wow that's a fantastic price. I haven't seen those ones yet. How are the reviews on them?

Don't think anyone buys them here. Ams says they've sold thousands! It's the same as the kinetix. I don't know why people have negative stuff to say though. Its a solid chunk of steel that can't slip alignment. What more do you want? Who gives a **** if it heavy and not pretty, they work. The bushings might suck but that is easily replaced when you're paying $179. Only thing track guys need to do is grind the lock nut down thinner and the part the tie rod bearing screws into to get more negative camber. -3.0 is doable.

Not sure these are ams or kinetix or custom but its the same thing with real bearings!

Terrible, lol.
They're all roughly the same design until you get the SPLs.
And while SPC doesn't have great reviews, there are probably 50 times as many. And if you don't have a problem with it, 9 out of 10 times you aren't inclined to tell people that they work well for you. So you'll see a lot of bad reviews for a lot of things. Just keep it in mind

Lol. Yeahhhhh. Especially if you're not tracking, almost anything is better than stock.

For the front, I wouldn't cheap out. Go with SPL.

I'd agree for the rear but again these solid steel arms aren't going to break and give enough camber. If you want caster etc go spl.

For no track and occasional spirited driving what is recommended? I just don't want my front tires chewed up and the price of spl is insane.

Ams or kinetix. Zero chance to slip and will stay at whatever you put it during the alignment.
