Camber kits

I was wondering if there was a real difference between camber kits besides brands and price? They all pretty much do the same thing by adjusting the camber so what would my benefit be to get say spc vs megan or any other brands. Any of the suspension ppl help me out?

Not all kits will allow for positive adjustment. SPL and SPC will, if you plan on slamming your car then go with SPL.

I'm not slamming the car. Looking for more a flush look. I wouldn't be able to drive the car here if it was that low or much less get up the driveway! I'm thinking about 1 1/2 in lowered right now on coilovers. This is pretty much my last thing to get for the suspension. And if I can get the same thing from one brand for cheaper then I can put the money to another part. Everyone seems to like to go with the spc kits and haven't really heard too much about any others

+1 on this.

Search the different brands to see what actuall owners of these products have to say. I've heard that some if not many dont offer any positive camber adjustment which basically makes them worthless paper weights to 99% of the people who buy them.
It makes no sense to me, it's like buying coilovers that lower your car .25" but will allow you to raise it 3". I have no personal first hand experience, just info from what I found when I was researching camber kits.

amount of positive adjustment and overall durability/reliability. Go with spc or spl rears or don't come back to us if you are unhappy because you didn't listen

+ 1..I got SPC front and rear camber kits and I am definitely pleased with the amount of positive camber they give.

Other than giving +/- Camber adjustment the SPC kits also gives the ability to CASTER and TOE adjustment in the front. Its very street friendly.

SPL kits are very nice too...and are ideal for a more dedicated car where noise is not an issue. They are more solid.

I will PM ya more info

got the SPC fronts and rear. had them for over 6 years now. the amount of camber offered +/- range is good and like THM said, the added bonus of caster and toe.

I would recommend the SPL front a arms over the SPC. they offer up to 2.5* positive camber adjustment, are wayyyyyy easier to install, and don't have the rubber bushing that seats into the radius arm which can fail over time. A little more expensive yes, but well worth the investment IMO. They also offer caster and toe adjustment, but I'm dropped 3" and have never had to use those adjustments.

Indeed sir. The SPL arms are very very good. I approve. And we do sell them.

However those who want a quiet and more OEM quality ride will probably benefit from the SPC arms. These kits are built to OEM specs but with the ability to actually adjust the angles.

I am not saying that one is better from the other...just different and for different intentions.

SPC arms have -1.5 degree to +3.5 degree camber adjustment and +/- 1 degree of caster adjustment.


Let me know if you guys have any questions about any of these kits.
