They tested the prototype 1 versions with the two 370z teams that ran Grand Am’s Continental American Racing Series last year so I have to believe they are very close to having a product for you and me. I personally have been waiting and harassing SPL to develop these arms for 2 ½ years. I didn’t want to buy the cheap, less structurally sound products (sorry if that offends anyone) that are currently on the market. If you saw the 350z camber plates SPL made, you know they were the best by far on the market and for my Nismo and all the track driving I do (twice a month & some OTD’s) I have to have something that is very hard to wear out. Plus after driving COTA last month, I definitely need more camber for those hairpin turns (and more brakes too). Totally bad *** track. Wider than anything I have ever seen/driven and smoother than an airport runway.

I will keep you posted on the progress if you are interested and get some pictures out if they let me. Here’s hoping that we 370z folks FINALLY get we what we have been waiting for. At least what I have been waiting for anyway. lol

Cheers.

Here are the 350z arms I was talking about from SPL's website – you can see how stout and structurally sound they are - nicely built and should not fail:

Here is the latest from the Grand Am Series on the 370z’s progression by the Doran Racing Team:

Just to correct a few things in your post.

First, it was NOT Doran Racing that tested the SPL arms. It was SFR Enterprises that ran two cars in the Pirelli World Challenge. Doran Racing designed their own arms in house and as of right now I'm the only one to have a set of these outside of the Doran Racing organization.

Secondly, the SPL arms are not a "shim" style like the ones for the 350Z were.
