Need to get rid of more negative camber on the front
Ok, so lowered on stance gr+pro coils, have front and rear spc camber kits with the rear toe bolts. Rear alignment is great, front is good but need to get rid of more negative camber to save tires on front only.
I know the front camber kit comes with the hub spaces to allow for more camber adjustment, but I do not want to use those because if I do, then I can't use the akebono brake kit. So, what do you all recommend? As I see it, I could try to machine the spc camber arms to allow more camber adjustment with the ball joint, I could get new arms with more adjustment without the use of hub spacers (don't know if those exist), or any other ideas? Thanks

Mike sadly your only other option that's feasible is getting a set of the SPL front arms. There are almost no front camber kits available that offer any significant positive adjustment and the only 2 that are currently being made are the SPC and the SPL. If you could find a set of 350Evo arms they would be ideal but they haven't been produced for a couple of years I think. At this point they are extremely rare and hard to find.

And yes, the hub spacer would not allow the adapter for the brake kit to fit right, or at all actually

To be honest, I'd rather go with the spl ones if they have more positive adjustment, cause then track days I could pull spacers for more - and put them back for more + for street. The spc ones are a pain to do any adjustment to while the car is on the alignment rack

SPL uses a system of shims that go into the top of the arm so they don't affect the wheel like the SPC shims do. Both SPC and SPL advertise between 1 and 1.25 degrees of positive camber. However the SPLs are hella expensive at over $500 for the pair.
I didn't know SPL had shims at the top like that, much more convenient.
I too had to remove the shims so my BBK would install properly. Your probably better off going with the SPL A-arms. I think I may pick those up too.
