I guess they are similar then. But I know your car is a lot lower than mine.

Anyone who has the SPC front camber kit please vote because the more input we get the better.

Suspension wise I'm as stock as you can get, the only change I've made is the Swift springs which gives me a drop of front: 1" rear: .6" and I have the clunking issue.

I just off the phone with Charley the lead engineer at SPC and he will be looking into this problem. Also, talked to Peter and he knows of this issue and told him I will wait a reasonable amount to time to see if there will be a fix for this problem. If not, I will receive a refund on the camber kit only although I will be out $350 for the installation and the alignment cost. Then another $350 for the install and realignment of either a fixed SPC arms or whatever new arms I get.

You can do the swap yourself with a few basic tools.

just this past weekend, my mom's rx330 believe it or not got abs, brake, and vsc trac lights on.
lol. at least i got is250 as a loaner to drive around with just 1700 miles on it.
navi is cool but it's so slow. 05 g35 shifts faster in manual mode than is250 imo.

For those of you that have arms that are hitting can you give me details such as, the type of sound, when it hits, are you turning or going straight, is it a bump or a pothole or both, the more info the better.

In my case, it's usually on the freeway although maybe about 10% of the times it's around town driving. I've also noticed that it happens more often when both wheels hit bumps together rather than independently, the key word is more often. When the arms hit it makes a loud bang along with a huge vibration. A few times while on the off ramp of a freeway I noticed a brushing sound which I believe to be the arms brushing against the inner fender lining.

In my previous post, I took my car back where I got the camber kit installed and my alignment and he thought it was the top adjustment bolt hitting top of the fender. The odd thing is I'm only dropped 1" and no other aftermarket suspension parts installed.

I'd appreciate if you are this having this problem post your info and maybe we might have a common thread that's causing this problem.

I for one will not live with this problem, either the problem gets fixed or I'll request a refund.
