You could always get the Doran arms. Surprised no one else has got a set of the Doran arms yet.

It will be interesting to see how the SPL arms compare to the Doran arms on price once they're finally released.

I have a set on order, will be here by the end of the week and track tested on Monday, Tuesday. Was trying to get them last year but they weren't quite ready for sale yet.

Do let us know how they run on the track & how easy they are to adjust to different setups/track configurations during your sessions. I didn't want to go with Doran because I know the quality of what SPL produces - it might take them a while but they have been the best arms for the Z since they came out with the 350Z version- and I really like how easy they are to adjust after each session when the track/conditions change. That is what is important to me in camber arms.

There's a lot of similarities between the two designs in that they are both billet aluminum, both use spherical bushings at all 3 corners, both are relatively easy to adjust. The Doran arms use shims, so it is just a matter of knowing how many shims you need for a given setting. I would recommend that you do this when setting up the car on the alignment rack so you can see if your toe is being altered at all. My car is track only at this point so for me it doesn't matter, set it and forget it.

If the SPL parts had been ready at the beginning of the season I probably would have saved myself a few dollars and gone with those as they would have worked just as well for my needs, I have no complaints about the other SPL parts on the car. The SPC arms however had to go away. I'm sure they are fine for the street but they just get torn up on track.
