Suspension issues

I think spl stuff is a little overkill for a street driven car. I would also avoid spherical bushing on a street driven car as the joints can get damaged prematurely depending on the conditions you drive in. Spherical bushing are prone to rattle and make more noise than most are ok with during street driving conditions.

I would recommend sticking with rubber or urethane bushings as it will keep the nvh closer to stock. As far as what you need, try the spc kits front and rear. The front kit offers tons of clearance for wider wheels and tires which may be why you z1 front arms dont fit.

Good luck.

Do you know how many people run SPL on this forum? Almost everybody. Op needs to get the SPL rear camber arms and eccentric lock out kit. for the front he needs to get the SPL FUCA's. There is a reason all of us run the SPL parts. They flat out work.

My post was not meant to call into question the quality of spl parts. They are the highest quality in so far as design and usability. I would run them if they were legal for competition. I don't know how to make that any more clear.

However, there are some drawbacks to running unsealed spherical joint control arms on a street driven car. I wanted to make sure the op is aware of that and I offered an alternative.

I have yet to hear a single example of SPL parts failing, across the Z snd s chassis community

While in THEORY some balljoint may fail, in practical application of these specific parts for this car...you’re outta pocket

You’re basically cautioning someone against drinking a bottle of water because someone in the world drowned

That's a bit of stretch but ok.
