Time to buy front camber arms

I don't want to spend close to $400 on SPC front camber arms. I know they are the best, but what about these?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Wicke...Q5fAccessories

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/NISSA...Q5fAccessories

Which are more in my price range, even though I still don't want to spend $300.

I have read some negativity about the Ichiba front camber arms. Anyone have used SPC front camber arms for sale?

Thanks,
Aaron

I wouldn't go an buy some generic brand from ebay, you will have more problems than not buying a front camber kit at all. SPC camber kits are probably some of the better ones, Eibach are made by SPC also, check those out also.

I'm usually the last person to buy off eBay. I'm just wondering what could really happen with them? The design looks way better than the Ichibas...

I have the Megan racing arms, look just like the wicked ones. They have held their settings and the tire hasn't flew off or anything

The spc design looks iffy to me so I didn't get those, not a very highly stressed part anyways by looking at the stock piece, I imagine the wicked ones would do the job.

If had the budget I'd get the 350evo arms but I think they are over designed for the job.

That's nice to hear. Both auctions look like the same item.

I've copied this thread to my350z to get even more input...

Let us know what they say over there. I'm close to getting some as well.

Maybe more of a drop in my near future.

Why is everyone so against the Ebay all the time.

Riverside sells OEM infiniti brake pads on Ebay. Does that mean that they are **** now?

No matter where you buy, always research the product, Ebay is full of quality stuff.

They are pretty much saying save for SPC because those are eBay junk.

I agree, there are quality parts on eBay, but OEM products are OEM products. These are not.

SPC will give you the most positive camber adjustment with the added spacers they come with. Depending on how low you are may go in the future, this is something to consider.

There's alot of info on those here on the forum.

From what I've read and seen, I think the main problem was how they were installed. You HAVE TO use the extended threaded bolts and ABS brackets the kit came with. Some shops just re-used the OEM bolts and mounting bracket which caused the ABS sensor to sit at a different angle.

From what I've read the Megan and Ichiba won't get you back to spec as they are designed to add negative camber. I think SPC are the most inexpensive that will get you back to spec...
