I know the SBC fronts u need to get the stock bushings (see pix) but will I also need it for the SPL fronts?

 

No...You will not need to purchase them. The SPL camber arms already have them built into the design.

 

are camber kits necessary for coilovers?

 

Your question is too vague, there are too many variables. Do some searching in the suspension section and you will find all the answers you need.

 

i did some researching, i know its recommended for springs but im not too sure about coilovers. school me

 

Yeah, usually when you lower your vehicle, your camber tends do go a little Negative (inward). camber kits help with your alignment, and help resolve the irregular tire wear.

 

Well, there's not much to say since it's the same idea as springs. The lower you go, the more camber and toe you'll see. Conversely, if you installed coilovers and for some reason raised them to stock height, you wouldn't need to worry about it.

So I'd figure out how much you want to drop first, then go from there. Maybe find a comparable spring drop and do some research on what people have done. Also it depends on your tolerance for how aligned you want your car to be. A few years ago I dropped on Tein 350z H-Techs which is one of the mildest drop you can get, and I picked up front and rear arms to get it back into spec. Most people either don't get either, or just get a rear and live with the misalignment in the front.

So it really all depends on your wants, needs, etc.

I can't believe I just typed all of that. I blame the snow storm and being trapped in my house for the past week!

 

Yeah i got my baby stuck down the street. thank god the plow man came 3 hours later. usually they don't come until 3 days after it stops snowing.

 

Anyone have front camber arms for sale??????

 

I have my front adjusable ichibas im getting rid of. I paid 368 for them. had them on for about 4 months. 170 shipped. pm me.

 

lol thanks... so pretty much only thing coilover has over springs is increased comfort and im guessing better handling. would aftermarket sways + springs = coiovers for handling?

 

yeah, plus some are adjustable, so you can lower or raise when needed.

 

No, comfort depends on spring rates. Depending on which kind of coilover you buy, they can give either a softer ride or a stiffer one. Same thing with springs. Refer to the sticky thread in the suspension section, it will have spring rates for a lot of potential setups you can get.

The main advantage of coilovers is that you are able to adjust height and dampening. With springs you can't adjust anything unless you buy aftermarket struts (recommended), in which case you'll be able to adjust dampening but not height.
