My parts guy in BC thinks the Tein stuff is overrated. He's all about the Stance and the Tanabe 5s and 7s.
He's pretty honest with me. He knows I'll buy what I think is best for me but I like his input.

Yes, Teins are waaay over rated... Add JIC to the good list if you have chassis reinforcements.

I agree on the Teins they have great marketing. The JICs are too stiff for my taste.

my thread got hijacked lol.... so what do you mean your right side "collapsed" the SPC arm broke or suspension or?

I really want to get camber but I've read that SPC has problems with sensors, and now your story about "collapsing" any suggestions on camber kit to get?

Teins sucks, JIC had some damper issue a while ago, Megan has uneven dampening like Ebay brands, Tanabe lack proper dampening good enough.

You want good, look at Ohlins, Moton, KW V3, Bilsteins, TC Klines, Advanced Designs (by GC).

I've been running the SPC front and rear camber kit for almost 2yrs now and no issues. I am lowered on Eibach Prokit springs and Tokico d-Spec shocks.

Like what? JICs are known for understeer if you have their coilovers alone.

^Not exactly sure, I saw it on some other forum. I can't find the link, but I never looked at JIC again after hearing about it, although JIC has a very good reputation and the issue may not be that common.

to this day i still dont know what happend exactly because it was in the middle of the night. My front kit was defective and the whole arm collapsed on my tire...to get it back on a flatbed my buddies somehow ghetto mounted a piece of wood to get the car rolling...

when I drove my car I kept nailing the polyurthane part of the camber kit, i think overtime it loosed up some bolts and just one day gave out

im not an expert on kits but go look into 350evo's or cuscos!

Neg camber doesnt affect tire wear that much... its TOE thats the real tire killer.
