Z1 front adjustable camber arms
 
Hello,

I just noticed that Z1 now has adjustable upper front control arms,I dont know how new this is but i just found out and having issues with front camber adjustment after swift springs i'm interested.

https://www.z1motorsports.com/suspen...ms-p-8534.html

Anyone have experience with this product
Also looked at their installation manual and didn't fully understand how they adjust. I see the threads at the chassis mounting point but wouldn't adjusting that require to unbolt that piece? While alignment would make that very inconvenient right? what am i missing here.
Thanks

Going to need something for my G. Hopefully someone tries these out first. I'm done with being guinea pig. :)

I feel pretty good about them based on Z1's rep. I have a lot of their stuff on my Z, not a problem with anything, and their customer service is great. I'll be going with the race version, my car doesn't see the street very much, mostly track. Maybe I'll be first, it will be a couple weeks...
Adjustment... It looks to me that the points that connect to the chassis are the caster adjustment and would have to be spun to adjust. You would most likely be able to figure that out before install. The other single end would be your camber adjustment. It's not very hard to un-bolt and spin this part. Best part about the way they adjust is they won't slip. Once you get them set it would only be toe adjustment for re-alignment in the future.
I am really stoked to see Z1 make these. I'm running the OEM ones now. I had a set of AMS that didn't work out, bushings too soft. Don't want SPC, and don't really wanna pay $800 for SPL that I hear seem to loosen easily on their own. Nothing against SPL, I have their stuff and it's great. I would have bought SPL A-arms at some point, just would feel like I had to check them all the time.
...And for $300 :tup: Z1

Got this from Z1 via FB:

Yes these are completely from our design and built a little heavier than the Kinetix. We have been testing development designs for over 2 years with no problems. Our test cars do see fairly aggressive abuse jumping curbing at quite a few tracks and Russell's street driving is also a bit over the top. I would say I have more faith in these arms than any other part on the market.

If I didn't already have the SPL arms (and didn't want the caster adjustment), I would be all over these. Look like a good improvement over the SPC arms. As others said, I would trust Z1 based on previous reputation.

I've got over 2,000 miles and a bunch of track days on my SPL arms. And they're still tight. Where did you hear about the SPL arms loosing up?

I'm going to pull the trigger and order these.
I'm tired of my front camber being . 5 off side to side and not being to do anything about it. It's eating up my right to Inside ire too. It's got - 1.8 camber.

Anyone have a proven sport daily alignment specs? Or shoukd I just stick to oem specs? I don't track it (i have a other car for that) but i do drive aggressively

Thanks

Just pulled the trigger on a set of these. Putting faith in Z1's rep. for quality parts.

Recently swapped out Swift springs for KW v3's and have new 265/305 RE-11's coming soon.

Write a review if you find the time. It'd be nice to know how they really are

Sure thing but, it's gonna be a bit before I can get everything installed with work and whatnot.

These are going on my DD. Likely won't see any track time but, I do some 'spirited' driving in the twisties above L.A.

Forgot to ask, which version did you get? Street or race?
