At first I couldn't get the SPC arms to hold a camber setting, but I started torquing them to a higher spec and now they stay put. It is still a pain to make adjustments especially on a lowered car. Usually I'll have to jack the front of the car a little bit, make an adjustment and then recheck where I ended up, takes a lot of time.

That seems pretty aggressive. Did you arrive at those settings by taking tire temps? What tires are you using?

As for the SPC arms, I tightened them as hard as I could, even using big breaker bars and they still didn't hold on a bumpy track.

Thanks!

I use Nitto NT-01's and Kuhmo V710's. The camber is fine for the Nitto's but the 710's could use a little more. Yes the data is based on taking tire temps after the session. -3.0 would probably be plenty for street tires.

I agree that there should be a better locking mechanism, there is no friction surface or lock washer. This last time around mine have stayed put through some pretty rough tracks. Perhaps something could be added to increase the friction on the lock mechanism, not sure what though.
