370z Camber Arms and needed Track Settings

Sweet, keep us posted. Do you know if these will be in the same price range as the ones for the 350z?

I really don't know what Sean will be pricing these at. I am just helping out in the measurements and testing for him. We did all the testing on Friday and they will need one more minor redesign before SPL Parts gets them to the World Challenge guys for their March event in Florida. Sean is a very detailed orientated designer (which I totally appreciate) and won’t let anything out of his shop until he is 120% satisfied with the product. The good news is I can take them out to Texas World Speedway (TWS) on my next instructors weekend (3/9 & 3/10) and drive the **** out of them and see how they perform. No matter how you slice it – they are a major upgrade over the stock arms/settings and I am very excited to give them a work out. My new alignment is head and shoulders over what the factor settings were and with all this new found camber and caster I am looking forward to some fun.

Here are a couple of picx's of what is coming.

When we were doing the alignment on my car Friday, the mechanic just loved it. All he had to do was turn the wrench on the proper areas and watch his computer screen. Way too easy.

Not sure about the picx gomer_110 supplied - I didn't talk to Sean about the proto 1 installation. All I know for sure is that I got the best of what SPL has to date so far and it is head and shoulders about the stock setup - just not perfect yet. March can't get here soon enough.
