I just bought a set from Ebay. They look exactly the same as SPC. I've seen both in person. I havn't installed them yet though. I'm waiting on wheels that I've ordered before I install suspension parts.

look the same yes, but they are not (we sell both, so I am intimately familiar with them). Eibach and SPC are the same FWIW (SPC makes both)

If I recall, they are listing the same part number for 350 and 370...so I'd check fitment before waiting for your wheels Kev. I believe the 350z camber arms do not fit the 370.

spc and spl are both options for rear... spl higher quality but spc rears are good enough... can get spc front upper control arms too but make sure you get the right ones.... talk with Mike at DDM

Did you install these? Any problems? If they have less adjustment, is it a problem that you won't be able to bring the car back to OEM, or are the others just really conservative (extra adjustment not needed).

do yourself a favor and just get the Eibach/SPC rear kit - it's far more adjustable, only costs a couple more dollars, and actually was designed around the 370Z/G37.

Aren't they like ~$100 bucks more? I see the Ichibas going for ~$135 shipped.
