Rusty, let me know how the install for these goes and what your driving impressions are. I am probably going to be pulling the trigger on them as my next parts purchase as it looks like I've ruptured one of the front lower's on the passenger side (weeping silicone).

I'm going to start on the install this Friday maybe. Depends on how tired I will be from working 14hr nights for the next 2 weeks. :icon14:

SPL Specifically wanted to make their arms obtainable to the general public.

Which I thought was genius since other arms in the racing industry are extravagant and are not of higher quality.

The quality on these are amazing...

critical 10-16-2013 04:07 PM

We do have them!

They make the car feel a lot more responsive in the front end!

You guys rock! Mine arrived today in perfect condition! Worth the wait for SPL to make these adjustable upper front arms. They are by far the best arms I have seen for our cars. I haven't done business with Corner3Garage but they delivered as promised! We start working on race car build next week. Got these just in time. Thanks again!!!!

Santa dropped mine off today, these things are a thing of beauty... Ordering SPL rear camber arms and toe bolts in just a few...

Rear Camber arms and toe bolts ordered.... Now just have to decide on the brake line kit and I'm done...

AWESOME!

What did your alignment end up at?

synolimit 10-18-2013 05:03 PM

Those spacer bearing things where they mount to the car, since they're different lengths, what made you pick the way to install them? Seems like one way or another installed will effect caster a good deal.

They only go one way

martin82 10-18-2013 05:59 PM

btw SOHN, technically ur last ROFL, car isnt moving!! :icon23:

JK, they look awesome, I will try to install this weekend but need to borrow my friend's camber gauge...

Rusty 10-18-2013 06:27 PM

I'm going to try and get mine installed this weekend through next Wednesday. Working 14hr nights right through the weekend doesn't help. :icon14:

Rangerz 10-18-2013 07:51 PM

I can't really tell from the photo. Is there indexing marks so you could say... go from a track setting back to a road setting?

Looks good though:tup:

No index marks. You would have to count the number of turns in each adjuster between DD setting to the track setting. Then hope your toe doesn't move to much.

His were free ... that's WINNING :tup:

Masterbeatty 10-18-2013 08:31 PM

When you adjust the camber bolts do you have to take off the whole arm or do they turn in place?

martin82 10-18-2013 08:34 PM

nope, they turn in place!! that's what's so great about this arms!!!

Use a 3/16" allen wrench to loosen up the pinch bolts. Then use a 1/2" socket to move the camber/caster adjusters. It's a slick set-up. :tup:

Rangerz 10-18-2013 11:23 PM

Spohn,

Are the pics you posted after or before alignment? Looks like feom the pics you are maxed out for much more neg adjustment.

Remember, his Z is not running. Has no motor in it. So best guess is it's not been aligned yet. LOL

Before. I set them up close to what I had already. Which was -3 camber. There's still more to be had. I could of font better but I'll take care of that when time for alignment.

Rangerz 10-19-2013 11:17 AM

Gotcha, I didn't realize you still have it torn down.
