Whats wrong with SPC? I have them installed. There is a lot of adjustment and they are way beefier than the stocks. A friend has had them on his 350Z for a couple of years with no issues. He tracks his car as well.

I have no problems with SPC on any of my vehicles upon which I have used them.

Just that the design allows then to slip and or fail. Not saying every one will fail, just that other designs are better suited not to fail.

From an engineering standpoint, both SPL and SPC use the same locking collar design. The SPL has titanium parts for weight savings, but the chances of either design slipping are next to nil!

HOWEVER, the lockout kit from SPL will allow you to set the camber bolt and toe bolt into a locked out position any prevent and movement of the camber or toe arms at the frame connection. You can buy a lockout kit for the SPC arms if you like and achieve the same effect....

spl rear camber arms

Nice pictures..... what's your point? They both use jam nuts to lock the camber position....

KaienZ34 · 06-01-2012, 04:42 PM

Just trying to show the quality of each product, doesn't quite look the same.

Zoren 370 · 06-01-2012, 04:52 PM

IMO the weight difference would be the clincher!
And the huge price difference!

Here is mine on Swift/Koni. I also have 15 mm spacers all around.

Swift+Koni -- Oh, yeah.

That i couldn't say, but i'm sure someone will.

Zoren 370 · 06-01-2012, 04:58 PM

Its very clear the SPL is the better brand/product. No Doubt.
But it always boils down to a choice.
