If design right. You should have more then enough adjustment in it. It don't take much adjustment anyways. You be surprised at what a 1/16" of movement will do.

So if you want more caster you would loosen the front sleeve and thread out the front heim joint which would move both heim joints in unison towards the back.

If you wanted more positive caster (+), and to keep camber the same. You would move the front sleeve out, and move the rear sleeve in.

Now if you wanted less caster (-), and to keep the camber the same. you would move the front sleeve in, and the rear sleeve out.

If you wanted more caster (+), and more camber (-). You might only have to move the rear sleeve in, and leave the front sleeve alone.

Clear as mud now.

Anybody has opinion on the cusco front control arms for our cars? They look like SPC?

Don't quote me but I believe they only have limited adjustment on camber pending the amount of drop.

im waiting for the SPL front arms too, going to do the rear arms soon as well. for now in the front i have the front upper kinetix, they leave plenty to be desired but fact of the matter is they've held up well to my track antics since ive been tracking the 370. Also i modified mine to get another negative degree outta them. at my current ride height(which is not low by any means) my front sits at -3 camber. But the SPL ive been assured will have great adjustment range, high quality, and out soon

I'm waiting for the SPL arms too. When they come out, I'm getting everything. Front and rear.

370z came out in 09. Here we are still waiting for a quality front control arm, I'm almost giving up hopes of SPL producing them for mass market.

Has anyone gotten in solid contact and/or ordered the doran ones?

Happy with my kinetix! 15K and no problems...

Ok so I didt know it was going to be so hard to decide which arms to get. I guess is between Kinetix and SPC for me.
Nobody has mentioend Eibach...

What should I get then?

roy'sz · 02-16-2013, 06:51 PM

I got the Kinetix. Piece of advice for you.....before final assy, get yourself a grease gun with some mobil1 chassis lube and lubricate the upper ball joint(mine had a small popping sound on them due to being slightly dry and it reoccured after 10k miles. I didn't buy the greasegun and lube the ball joints myself until recently). From assy they are a little on the dry side. But I have had mine for 25k and LOVE them! My car has kept the same camber angle.

Baer383 · 02-16-2013, 11:23 PM

Or you can make your own.

My camber or caster CAN'T change!!!!
