my problems are with the spc front camber arms.

I hear noises coming from the front suspension when I am going over speed bumps, driveways, and sometimes when I am turning. Almost sounds like a woodpecker in my wheel well. Is that what you are hearing? I never heard anything before when I first lowered the car. Thanks for the input.

Guys,
I apologize for not replying earlier as I was on a mission trip to the D.R. for a week. If anyone wants a comprehensive explanation of the issue, feel free to give me a call. We are the ones that initiated the development of this kit and have worked with the president of the company on the issues from day one. If anyone has all of the answers, it will be me.
Toll Free: 888.672.0066

For those of you ordering the SPC Kits on the coupe. This is the info I recieved from SPC today on the front kit.
"Information on soft springs and noises on the Part #72120 Upper Control Arm Camber/Caster Kit for the Nissan 350Z and the Infiniti G35.
The following condition may be noted after installation of the #72120 Camber/Caster Kit.
If a softer lowering spring or one with less spring rate is used in these vehicles it can cause the suspension to travel farther up in the fender well. Along with a possible soft or weak shock absorber or strut this may cause the control arm to contact the upper fender well. Vehicles with aftermarket adjustable struts may see this condition when the struts are set to a softer setting. In addition to this a heavier tire/wheel combination can exaggerate this condition. The noise made by contact of the arm to the body may be noticed only at times when the suspension is subjected to sharp compression such as potholes or raised road joints.
Spring rate: the amount of force necessary to compress the spring, usually measured in one inch increments. A linear rate spring will take the same amount of force for the entire travel of the spring. A 500 lb rated spring will take 500 lbs of force to compress it one inch, another 500 lbs (total 1000) to compress it the second inch, and so on until the end of the spring travel. A progressive or variable rate spring changes the force requirement as the spring is compressed. A 500-600 lb rated spring will require 500 lbs of force to compress the spring the first inch, another 520 lbs (varies depending on spring length) to compress it the next inch all the way to the last inch where an additional 600 lbs of additional force is required to compress."
