I would watch the Kinetix - there is a bunch of history, current as well, with their arms breaking and causing accidents, etc.

i wouldn't recommend the cusco's either....they are very limited as with stillen. it's between spc and 350evo. although evo's cost double, it is a better product with zero issues.

I haven't seen the SPC's at any of the online retailers I've looked at. Can anybody pass me a link? I almost ordered them but after hearing that I'm having my second thoughts. The SPC seem to have problems with the ABS.

So if you lower your ride and have negative camber, with the SPC fronts giving Camber -1.5 to +3.5 degrees, the "+3.5 degrees" will counter that negative camber which will bring it relatively close to oem spec.... am i correct?

^^^yes you will be within oem specs...however in order to achieve the +3 degree camber you have to use their spacers. arms alone will only give you +1 degree.

^are the spacers the ones in red in the lower left corner of this pic?



Is it only because of being really low that Hero is facing the knocking? I wonder how low he is versus what tein recommends for the front ride height

yes those are the spacers...i believe hero was knocking because he was dropped really low even though he has the revised arms.

^ I gotta find a pic of how low he was in the front... cuz most of the spring setups I see on here arent low enough to my liking

thanks again for always answering my questions lol

FYI, Ahero, never installed the spacers when he was that low

I guess you can't go cheap when it comes to a car like this. How are the Stillens?

Watch out for the spacers - they are known to mess with the ABS and VDC. The speed sensors need to be augmented, as they are spaced out too far as well.

Usually - unless your tracking the car, your good without them. Only put them in if the alignments can't get where it needs to be.
