Upgrading Front Camber Kit to SPC
Hey all, I currently have Kinetix UCAs maxed out and only have about -2.2 degrees of camber at my current height (about 1.5" drop).
I would like some input on people who have SPC camber kits and how much camber they have achieved at a 1.5-2" drop. Ideally I would like -3 degrees or more.
I know SPC just released a new version of their UCAs so if anyone has those please chime in!
This is not for stance purposes. This is for tracking/handling purposes.

I'm pretty sure they don't have the most adjustability.
And yes I have the most up to date version.
I'm looking for actual first hand experience from someone with SPC UCAs. I've seen plenty of slammed cars with SPC UCAs but I'm not going any lower than I currently am but still want -3.0-3.5 degrees in the front.
Also don't say buy SPL because I can't afford to drop that much money

Jersey I have less than a couple hundred miles on mine so if I do sell I'll PM you. Wanna PM me an offer just for fun? They're almost brand new haha
ScraggleRock do you have aftermarket UCAs or are you just reading their websites?
I sound like a broken record at this point, but does anyone have a 1.5" drop and -3 camber or more with SPC?

How low are you and how much camber are you running?
I thought I read somewhere that you could add more threads to get the arm to spin one more full cycle to allow for more negative camber. Mine are currently spun all the way in so the only way for me to add more camber would be to go lower (I think) but I don't want to do that.

Our cars like negative camber up front. Helps with tire wear and handling. Too much is obviously too much and I think I'm just going to stick with -2.2 and go for a square tire setup to reduce understeer.
Lots of race car G35 and 350s run -3ish up front.
You are right though, too much negative camber will ruin the handling and I think I may be going overboard lol

I'm gonna disagree there. Excessive negative camber for track cars that take very fast turns is good. For daily driving tho, its worse. You should really only have enough to provide enough wiggle room for static camber.
Running around -.08 or so will give you enough negative camber to give you close to 0 degrees static camber as well as have enough negative camber to take normal everyday turns pretty quick. It'll also give you a huge contact patch for, grip, comfort and virtually no inner tire wear.

Well I barely put any miles on my car now, so I'm not concerned with tire wear via camber. It only sees sunny weekends and the occasional track day.
I think we're talking about different things…all I'm saying is negative camber up front is good for our cars. I won't pretend to know more about suspension geometry than the average joe because I don't.
