Are the SPL rear camber arms appropriate for a DD car?

Zoren 370 · 09-09-2014, 07:53 PM

To OP

Honestly you did the right move in getting the SPL.
Im just giving my personal hands on experience with Rear SpC that i have used it for 2 years not have any issues with it.

So other forum members would have the opportunity to know that it would be fine to have SPC for DD. Depending how you want to drive your Z.

Unless the intension is to track the car or constantly drive it like they stole it, then I'll go for SPL anytime of the day.

youre missing my point though. i wouldnt even run them on a DD. a DD will rust faster seeing weather. The SPC has a huge design flaw putting the adjuster where it is. at the bend were all the stress is, is just stupid. the SPL welds it solid at that point making it stronger. that kink and size of the SPC steel will fail over time. it may be solid and the SPL may be hollow but doing the math the SPL im sure is 2-3 times stronger. theres no way id put that on any car. LMAO!!!

"not everyone are equally fortunate like others who can afford it????!!!" they bought a $400-$600 a month car payment! they bought the wrong damn car if they cant swing $100 for safety. and no, thats not why we have those cheap options. we have those cheap options because some kid in China making $0.05 a week makes them and sells them to us. SPC is to cheap to make them here paying at least minium wage.

my stereo type is 100% dead on. an old civic costs a few grand. a person with no money will buy one and mod accordingly. yes there are nice civics out there that run 10's and were done right but your average 16 year old with one who is modding it will show what he's worth. im trying to stay away from that as most used 09's still go for almost 20k. sadly there are still a few 16 yr olds that got their hands on them and are modding like a 16 yr old buying all the cheap crap they can afford. its sad. i wish my 13 body style changed more so im not grouped with them.

well term it how you will but the average american makes 30k a year. these cars cost 30k. most of american will agree with me and not you. you just named some people into the 1%'ers therefore dont count with me and the rest of the US.

you must be loaded then. my house mortgage costs $636 a month for just the house. if i bought my car on a 5 year it'd cost $645. to me thats a big boy car, not a little ricer civic with a fart can.

lol where you work? seems like i need a new career.

I don't find anything wrong with that, not everyone are equally fortunate like others who can afford it, other would simply want to enjoy a small piece of enjoyment with a lesser degree of financial burden. That is why there are options to fit your purpose of usage and preference.

Well if you categorize people who buy lesser value brands as civic lovers thats you own stereo typing of people. I do not have an issue with that in fact I do agree with you at a certain extent.

But let me give you my own definition of the term "Big Boy"
For me This are the people who drive cars such as Porsche, GTRs, McLarens,Ferrari, Lambo and other list of super cars!

If by chance you have at least one of this cars then you are indeed a "Big Boy" but if you drive the same 370Z I drive Im sorry I guess we are still in the same category of whatever you want to call it.
Because if you refer the "Big Boy" just because your heavy with modding I define it as still a "Wanna be "Big Boy"

Hey Im not arguing or reputing your own opinion yet I do respect it....I would even say that you are Right! But as far as the "Big Boy" statement I do have a different view about it.

I humbly say Im not a "Big Boy" in my own definition. Im at peace with that. Lol

Those you you with SPL camber arms, what are you using for rear toe adjustment? Will SPC toe bolts be ok?

Z-Girl 12 · 09-14-2014, 02:29 PM

You can only run toe arms if you have true type rear coils.

And their camber arms don't have a bend in them, so they might not fit with sway bars

I thought he meant to say traction arms but they don't make traction arms. Wonder why.

Kinda depends don't it? Owner of Victoria secret, express, bath and body etc etc is a second down the road and 12th richest person in the US. I'm not paying for his 20,000sqft house on 100 acres.

I got offer a job in Ohio two years ago, when I went to interview they were basically showing me where I can go live. I was surprised on how cheap renting and/or buying houses are over there. I ended up not accepting it since it was too disperse from what I'm used to. But lets just say that by where I live unless you have roommates you will be renting an apartment for at least 1400-1600 bucks (that's the cheapest you will find), mortgage is much more than that.

$1 a sqft rent here in cbus (most in ohio). $1200=1200sqft was our last place. Now we bought 1440sqft for $116,000. All in we're under $1100 so I'm happy. Mini mansions here are easy at $300-$400k. Cali people are insane!
