Is anyone running these arms since their recent release? I've searched and came up with threads in regards on the V2s, their squeaking noise, and that SPL was offering a V3 upgrade for owners of the V2s, but not so much on the new V3s. The one thread I found over on my350z had Kuah from SPL talking about the new V3s using improved bearings and aren't prone to squeaks when exposed to wet conditions.

Reason I ask is because I'm looking to get the front camber arms for my G35 coupe, and I'm debating if it's worth the extra $200 over the SPC kit to get the SPL Pro V3 on a daily driven car that'll see spirited driving and occasional hill country runs when I'm in SPL's neck of the woods.

Thanks in advance guys.

 

I have no experience with the V3 directly, but I can vouch for SPL's quality products and their excellent customer service. Based on the quality of the V3 parts I got, you won't be disappointed with them. The SPCs are infamous for knocking on lowered cars so that's something else to consider. They will offer more positive camber adjustment than the SPL however.

Can't tell you if the SPL are worth that much more than the SPC, I guess that's your call.

 

Just get the SPL's

All their parts have been worth it on my car, I just don't have the front camber arms

 

I read about the SPCs knocking, but no one really stated how low they were when it starts knocking against the shock tower.

Best get on that, yo. Lol. Would go well with those endlinks you got.

 

i have the SPL v2 front camber arms and i love them... how much better are the v3?

 

hmmm I have the sp2 also, where did you see this about a free upgrade to the v3?

 

I live in Austin and went by their shop. The owner is a really great guy and loves to talk about cars and suspensions. I stopped to pick up some endlinks and mentioned I had the V2 arms. He offered me a free upgrade to the V3 parts. See here for more info.

^ G35Papa said after he went lower than 2.5" is when his SPC's started knocking.


MY SPC's have performed as expected for me considering I'm not and don't plan to be that low.

I don't think I'll be going that low. :-\ But I guess I won't know til the time comes, unless the Eibachs I bought will put me a little lower than listed.

 

maybe i should give SPL a call today

 

 

haha tell me about it

I would love to get them

 

Hey guys, I know this is a very old thread but my SPCs are knocking a bit. I don't understand why though. I'm only lowered on z stechs. It sounds like its knocking on the tire when I do certain turns on uneven ground. Any input is very VERY appreciated. TIA

 

most likely its the spherical bearings... they tend to make noise as they get older. that's why OE manufacturers don't use them
