Default Help with choosing front/rear camber kit

Hey guys,

so I've browsed the forums and searched, seems there is a bit of mixed feelings between SPL/SPC setups etc..

I was going to just get the SPC front/rear kit here - SPC Front and Rear Camber Arms Package With Rear Toe Bolts

But after reading more on here, I was thinking along the lines of SPC front for the camber/toe adjustments and SPL rear components as they seem much stronger and this is what people seem to be worried about.

My car is purely street driven and won't be seeing track time.

would the following setup be decent? I'm still running standard suspension with H&R lowered springs OR will the SPC front/rear kit suffice?

Front - SPC Front Camber Arms (370Z / G37) (will this do the toe adjustments, or can you adjust the toe fine with standard components?)
Rear, I believe I need the camber arms/rear toe links/Lockout kit? - SPL Eccentric Lockout Kit
SPL Titanium Rear Camber Links (370Z / G37)
SPL Titanium Rear Toe Links (370Z / G37

Cheers, Mikey!

I am running SPL, quality was top top notch. Haven't driven car since I put them on yet. One note though, since your running lowering springs you have no need for the toe links.

If you can afford the initial investment of SPL, do SPL.
Just knowing you won't need to adjust it later and having the peace of mind that stuff won't break/bend/slip makes it worth it,
And if/when you decide to part out the total "loss" on SPL and SPC is very similar.

When it's time to buy, gimme a shout

I was wondering the same thing. Is the only difference between SPL and SPC camber kits the material it's made out of? I'm new to the suspension world so I haven't a clue.

I chose a different brand called "Hardrace" and have had installed their rear camber arms and traction rods. I find them excellent and have had no problems.

cheers for info, they are around same price as the SPL parts though and it doesn't say what materials they are made from, are they titanium or just steel?
