SPL Pro Front Upper Arms

I am in the market for a front camber kit, and came across these, which are for sale locally. I couldn't pull up any reviews on this product at all. Does anyone have experience with them?

The ones pictured are Version 1. SPL is up to Version 3 now. I run the Version 3... I love them...

You won't find any bad reviews on them that I'm aware of.

If you don't mind me asking, what are the differences?

That's the V3. They're CNC machined aluminum, camber and caster adjustable, and also use shims to adjust the camber versus a threaded setting with set nuts like the V1's. V1's as you can tell were tubular.

Suffice to say the V3 are much improved over the original V1 design.

Best front front camber arms on the market hands down. Mine have corrected almost 2* positive camber in a rock solid set up plus they are a breeze to install compared to the SPCs.

IMO they are the best. I had the original version 1 and I have no complaints. I have a g35 6mt coupe. my first suspension setup was: buddy club racing spec dampers, stillen sways, SPL v1 front uca, spc rear camber/toe. with the spl front camber arms, I had no problem at all to get my car back into specs. My cousin has SPC front camber arms and his are somewhat close to spec but still off. the design of the two cambers arms are each different. with the spl arms after you get them into spec, there isn't a way of them "backing out" or getting out of spec. they thread in/out to adjust (with spacers for each degree of camber). You don't loosen a nut then slide to adjust. Also, I don't recommend the SPC rear camber and toe. The camber arms are weak ( I've seen a few broken at the welds and the toe bolts get out of spec.

My new setup is AMR engineering coilovers, spl v3 camber arms, spl camber and toe, spl eccentric lockout, gtspec braces. all parts are bnib because I am currently over seas. I will post a full review.
