SPL camber kit upgrade from SPC worth it?

I have SPC camber kits in front and rear, and am wondering what substantial difference I can expect if upgrading to SPL? My reasons for upgrading are that the SPL seem a more solid product and can allow me to dial in my camber to a better degree.

In for answers, I mean I know they're better but how much better?

Reason for going with the camber kit is to bring your alignment back to OE specs. SPL will do the job using their spacers and finding the right alignment shop to do the job. My question is why didn't you find success with SPC? Many of our members use SPC because of the lower cost but I've never heard they couldn't correct alignment! Is it possible the fault is with your alignment shop not having the knowledge to work with a modified suspension? I had this issue!

Is SPC not the best?

I've had no problems with SPC, sorry to mislead anyone. SPC is a good product as I've been running the kits now for a year I think, and I've had no issues. My question is basically just to ask if it would be worth it to ME to upgrade to SPL. My alignment shop has done a great job so far and my alignment is true to form, or at least close enough. I don't track my car, or do any performance type driving on my car. In the coming months I'm going to extend my suspension upgrades to include bracing, bushing upgrades and that kind of stuff. In that process of buying parts I was interested to see if I should include an upgrade to SPL.

i have an SPL front camber arm currently. i could not complain about them they are great. plus SPL's customer service is great. i had a problem with my version 1 camber arms. (ball joints on them were going bad and squealing a ton, not to mention clunking) i called them up they offered to have them shipped in to service them and replace the ball joints or i could upgrade to the newest version 3 arms at half the normal cost (if i shipped back my old arms).

but as for functionality of the arms i would assume they were the same. when i had them off the car the SPL arms seemed durable and well made.

Epborden, looks like you have your answer! It's all about what works for you, if alignment is close and you're not wearing out tires no reason to switch to SPL! Even if they are better.
