SPL front camber coming soon?
 

SPL has teamed up with the new World Challenge 370Z team and has made new comments elsewhere that the part we've been waiting for is in development.

SFR Enterprises Names SPL Parts Inc. a Full-Season Sponsor in 2012 Pirelli World Challenge Series

Will we have it at long last?

Hope so...

If not, I talked with Ground Control today and they may jump in the game... GC has a solid reputation in the Porsche world, as some of you may know

I would love to have something better than those SPC ...

Finally! I skipped the front camber hoping for something better.

I hope so. I'd buy these in a heartbeat.

i emailed em twice about these. sure hope something comes out of this partnership you linked.

This is a pic from the right rear, what am I seeing on the left? A replacement for the spring holder...

SPL makes a rear "toe link" that replaces the OEM spring perch but looks different than your pic above, based upon their website

I'm going to pick some of these up before my next alignment. A little over priced but will be worthy.

It's a rear mid link. This is a link to the 350z part.

These only work if you have true coilovers, hence there is no need for a spring perch.

+1 ... don't order these unless you are swapping to an integrated rear spring/damper setup

I have a true type setup

I know you do, but we don't all have beastly cars like you. :tup:

It would be nice to see the catalog of parts they make for the 350 become available to us as well.

Oh yes! I'd buy every bit of it... in fact, the earlier pic of the rear suspension piece looks an awful lot like this 350 mid-link

Were the pictures posted above of the SFR Enterprises car or just a picture of SPL products?

If it's just the products, then it's probably just a 350Z with the mid-links installed.

If it's a picture of the SFR car, where did you find them? I want MOAR! :icon17:

Wow! That mid link looks pretty spiffy.

Soon as I get these SPC control arms on the SPL's will come out... I just know it. :P

My conversation with SPL indicated that the Front Camber Arms(FCA) are in CAD awaiting prototype development and should be available in 3 to 6 months. That conversation was in December and with the sponsorship of a few racing teams I would expect the FCA's should be available after R&D testing during the 2012 racing season.

My best guess would be late fall 2012 or early 2013.

Well I will be waiting to do my suspension work until after I get a chance to see some SPL goodness. Until then I guess I will settle for some bolt-on power mods. :rolleyes:

The pic comes from the SFR guys. Just added another to the thread over general. ;)

Today again SPL said the arms are coming soon. Again I laughed. I told them you have been telling me that since Oct. 2012. No response.

We are still here ;)
Just saying

To much. I can't justify the cost. Sorry.

Oky doky
;)

So are they available now or not?

Man if I was still tracking my 370 I think it would be worth it... I bet the SPL are fairly close in price when they release.

I don't see that. Based on there current parts and past maybe 200 more than the 350 arms.

Which would be half what the others cost. I'm with you Spohn, those other ones aren't worth it to me either.

They cost what they cost...sorry guys.

Can you produce enough with your racing schedule to run a group buy? There seems to be a lot of guys waiting on SPL with cash in hand.

It's the man hours,material and extensive machining that goes into them. Anyone that has seem them up close .. can appreciate the detail work... They are extremely light weight .. And extremely durable.
The parts that we use are spec'd to very precise tolerances.
Initially we did look at putting in lesser quality parts... Different spehericals, less machine work..but felt in the end.. that isn't what we are about. And truthfully they wouldn't last in the environment that we use them in.
They are the exact arms we race with on the RC.
Put it this way... If they were that easy and cheap to make... There would be plenty of companies making them.

Exactly. Quality costs money. If your margin or production timeline doesn't allow a group buy, such is life. It just seemed there's a lot of pent up demand for the SPL stuff, and you could beat them to the punch.

Lesser quality as in material used is not a bad thing when compared to your actual material you guys are using. If might not be as strong but I'm sure there are materials cheaper and will hold up to the abuse we basic track guys do. If your arms are a 10 and SPL is a 5, make a arm that ranks at a 8. We all can't have a GTR but a 370z is a super great substitute. Same principle.

Spl has a good arm in itself. The bushing and the actual adjustment is sloppy in design. But it works. So my point and what I wonder if you guys did make a arm in the same design with less cost material but still strong (might be heavier),different sphericals, and the machine work could maybe stay the same I think you guys could easily have a great product for half the cost or even seventy five percent.

You meant SPC?

For cost I just say reenforce the SPC arm with tying down the nut and maybe finding a better bushing.

I meant SPC. There the only one with arms to compare. I was trying to apply/ compare the main piece of the arms themselves. The best thing to do in which I feel is a 95% fix is what my buddy did in the link below. Which it seems I'll end up doing. I just wanted to have SPL everything. Now if I can get some solid bushings to insert into the SPC arms I'd be good.

That's a lot of work people can't do sometimes. I say 150lbs torque spec and drill two holes for 2 bolts next to the main nut. Drill pilot holes in the main nut and new bolt heads and safety wire it down. Then bushings.

We have a couple SPL front arms on pre order!

You have a date though? If you did it you'd be the first vendor in history of the forum to.

Not really interested in building 8s.
Build 8s and the one time they fail... It's a complete fail.
This is suspension...not an exhaust system.
Tracking at high rate of speed... Or going through an intersection..
A fail... Isn't worth it.
