Question Question: Best Front Control Arm for +1 Camber

My 2006 Coupe 6mt is lowered 3/4" on 350Z springs in the front. Camber in the front is currently -1.5deg left & right. With nominal spec being -.42 in the front, I need to get about +1deg to get back to stock.

It's been about 10K miles since I lowered the car, and I noticed the insides of the front tires getting worn. Figure I should get arms when I get new tires.

Searching around here, I see there are several brands (SPL, SPC, Ichiba), but I've also seen complaints about quality (crappy bushings, clunking, alignment slips) and some not providing any Positive camber adjustment (which seems odd since I would think positive adjustment is what most people actually need). The G is my DD with my commute being a long stretch of interstate at speed, so quality parts are a concern for me.

So as of TODAY, what is the best quality front control arm that provides at least 1 degree of POSITIVE camber?

Stay away from ichiba from what ive read their bushings are amongst the worst out there.

People usually use SPL ones but ichiba one's ive only heard complaints.

SPL V3 arms are the best you can get for our cars. Or if you can did a used set of 350Evo arms those are top notch as well.

While I rather agree with you that those are the best in the market

SPC still gives the most + camber adjustment of +3 compared to everyone else of just +1

350evos if you can find them I have them on my car and actually took a while for me to get.

SPL arms are AMAZING quality..

Megan arms are very reliable as well..


No experience with SPC but make sure you get something that's well trusted and quality. If a weld breaks and your control arm snaps you'll be making a hard right or left turn =\
