Just an update on this. You should not make all the adjustment with one section. The pictures shown in the DIY show all of the adjustment being made in the larger threaded section. This section should not be extended out more than 3/4". As pictured it is beyond the limit stated by SPL.

HERE is a link to the directions from SPL.

I know this thread is old, but before i get my parts in would there be anyway to fix the pictures on this DIY?

Good write-up. This DIY was very helpful. The camber adjustment bolts on my 2014 Nismo would not go back in cleanly from the front side. Did anyone else experience this? They are basically blocked by the sway bar preventing them from going back in without a struggle. I ended up reversing the cam bolt, cam washer and nut to do the inboard camber link attachments. Time estimate was right on the money. 90 Minutes start to finish.

Thanks for the DIY Write-up.

Just finished installing the spl camber links on my Z..

after a good look from behind i noticed that the camber is dead even (per side), but sitting a bit negative and slightly visible toe ( im ocd i can see it! )

Of note, the nut ( bolts near the brakes) didnt want to move. rather than strip it, i breaker bar'ed the bolt side and it got to moving without deformity to the bolt head.

I also gave it a good greasing at the joint... ( wish there was a boot of some sort for that bit. )

Also, the lock bolt kit i got from z1 was a good fit, but it didnt torque when i expected it to ( just kept going - no click from the torque wrench zzz) dunno if the washer is just getting compressed and ill eventually get it.. On the safe side, it was tight enough for a test drive, but im contacting z1 for torque specs on these bolts/washers.

all in all , easier than i thought it would be.

Next on the list, are the swift springs waiting to get put on... Looks like the rear will not be trouble, but the fronts will be involved...

Just installed the SPC rear performance camber arms the other day, didn't have to touch the rear sway bar brackets, was able to wiggle out the camber bolts.

I can say ive put a beating on them since i put them in... Ive had to go rounds with the regional mgr at Firestone to keep my lifetime alignments, but all is good....

That said, ive had 2 alignment checks ( and adjustments) made so far, after initial alignment for the camber links...

Happy to say, that they didnt have to touch the camber links to adjust the car... these things are solid. A 1/2 season of hard driving on the winding roads up in the rockies, and im not looking back.

Im actually thinking of putting in the SPL mid links as well, so i can all but forget about the rear... i might option for some good grade non-solid bushings though... i dont want to have too rigid a car, since it is a street car with some track time. That, the upper control arms, (sell a kidney) and its time to drop the car.
