I can't believe this thread is still alive. SPC totally fukced this up IMO. I can't believe people are still buying and trying to make this work, when it is clearly totally flawed. Shame on SPC.

Update: SPC is sending me a set of their second revised arms this week and I will have them installed asap. From all indications the new arms will have 3* of positive camber although I will verify this once they are on my car. If this is the case this is excellent news since this will only be a loss of .5* of camber. Charley indicated the new arms allow for more clearance therefore the arms can move upwards without the them hitting any part of the inner fender.

+1.

I was just about to contact SPC to discuss a return. Guess I'll wait a little longer.

I received the arms on Thursday and I'm going to have them installed on Monday. I examined the new arms and they look well made and the redesign looks excellent. Once, they are on my car and I test them out, I will post the results. I know SPC's goal is to put out the best product at a very competitive price and they learned from their past mistake not to rush into production. They hope everyone can be understanding and they apologize for the delay although once these issues are addressed you can be assured that you will be getting an arm with the most adjustability at a very reasonable price without any issues.

I understand from IAP that no one with sedans have reported problems with the SPC a-arms. I just ordered the SPC front and rear kits. Do you suggest putting on the spacers since I am planning on lowering about 2" with megan racing coilovers?

IMO, I would install the spacers since it would give you the most adjustability without any issues. Also, with a drop of 2" I doubt you could get back into spec going with arms only although if you wanted to run some negative camber then you could forego the spacers.
