Nissan 370Z Forum  

guy told me I was In spec, I think not..HELP..

I do not have any feedback as far as brands go, but when looking for camber arms I would avoid anything with open/unsealed joints.

If I'm not mistaken aren't all the joints sealed on all brands?

No. The SPL and Z1 ball joints are open. Some of the other arms are the same too.

I went with Z1 front upper control arms VERY happy, and SPL rear camber arms with SPC rear toe bolts. Love the ride and handling with my car lowered on Swift springs. Believe it or not I feel its a more comfortable ride than stock.
Wonka2581 and Brendan like this.

How hard was the install on the toe bolts? Didn't you have to cut away some metal to install them?
