Kinetix 370Z / G37 Adjustable Camber Package

This is what you need.

If you lower the car, you probably won't be able to get the alignment in spec due to the changed suspension geometry. The factory arms don't have enough adjustment in them.

No you may chase some camber gain. I had that problem with eibachs on a different car. As your car settles into the springs the camber angle changes more negative. You dont have any adjustment in the front and the rear is most likely already close to max. You need these to keep the car within the specs or a setting which promotes even tire wear.

You are changing the geometry of the car from its original setup by lowering it. I'm lowered on Tiens and only got rear camber arms and toe bolts. I didn't need any adjustment up front. Good luck!

I heard that a while back as well. I have also hear of them slipping as well. I've personally had the kinetix for 50k and they haven't failed on me yet. I only have fronts so I can't speak for the rears.

If you're going to use them for heavy track use, SPC isn't strong enough. It's more than enough for a street car.

I didn't see the other posts and for some reason it won't let me delete this post.

ubs234 10-01-2013 07:54 PM

So Kinetix or SPC!? lol

roy'sz 10-01-2013 08:06 PM

Kinetix. Your setting will never "slip." Worth the money imho.

I had an aggressive drop with H&R's and did not need fronts, only for the rears. Don't fall for the SPC breaks crap - that's with lots of track use. For daily use, that brand is fine. Good lluck with your choice.

...John@Z1 needs to return my SPCs and sell me Kinetix...

I remember asking him about SPCs being shítty... He said we have them on our track car without any issues and that he wouldn't sell me crap... Hmmmmm...

Ive loved mine. Only issue I had was the upper ball joint was a little dry causing a slight popping sound.....but a little bit of chasis lube cleared that up. :-)

Easy to install also.

I only got a rear set. And if it's as strong as OEM, I'm not too worried

Lol. I meant what I said in a positive way. People fall for that one line or one story not acknowledging how much use some of these had in the track (some will eventually fail) and not consider how successful the brand is. All it takes is one bad story and the reputation of the brand is toast.
