SPL rear camber arms
 
Just got back in from finally having my alignment done.
In the end the guys basically said the SPL camber arms are First Class stuff.
They said that often stock parts are as good, if not better than some of the aftermarket stuff they see. The SPL arms were exceptions to that. As good a part as they ever see.

Rear Left Camber -1.59, Toe 0.05 in.
Rear Right Camber -1.64, Toe 0.05 in.

Front Left ended up -1.22, Toe 0.03 in.
Front Right ended up -1.48, Toe 0.02 in....Right Front camber just out of spec.
Nothing can be done with the front camber unless I get the SPL front arms.

The only issue the alignment shop had was on the left rear and getting the toe bolt to hold tight. He could move it with two wrenches after it was torqued. He wasn't happy with it. He replaced it with a stock Nissan toe bolt. All good.
When the bolt was removed and inspected, it was stretched. His response was sometimes the aftermarket stuff is not any better, or even as good as the stock parts. The toe bolt in his words was, Gar-Bage.
He suggested I keep an eye out for signs of the right rear slipping and if so, pop the stocker back in that side too.

Looks like you need toe links or mid links then ;)

Glad to hear this. Just ordered the SPL rear camber arms and toe bolts, along with Swift springs last night.

I'm curious. What would these links do for me other than replace 'inferior' parts?
Something there in the numbers that tells you I ought to add them?

Thanks Scott.

Just replace inferior parts. You'll be able to control toe via the arms adjuster and lock out that crap eccentric. Performance gain also maybe by getting another spherical bearing.

OK...I just looked. The toe links seems to be if you are on coilovers. The mid-link replaces the spring bucket and lets you remove the eccentric toe bolt and lock it out there. Adjustment is done on the link using an adjuster not unlike the one like the one on the camber arms. Those are pricy rigs.....look like typical SPL quality pieces.

I was just at the Concept Z performance site. It looked like they have Swifts in stock.

So spc toe bolts are no good? I think I'll take my chances with the oem bolts and see how alignments come out first then maybe get the spl bolts if needed.
