Help with SPC Front Camber spacers...

Can you guys help me out with a DIY for installing the front spacers with the SCP kit. I installed the control arms and still need more adjustment on the passenger side. This sucks since I only dropped it with the Z springs!

Thanks.

Something isn't installed correctly if you need more adjustment on Z springs.

I used the SPC arms without spacers and I'm on 350Z S-Techs.

After the initial drop the drivers side was at -1.0 and passenger side at -1.5. Now I'm at -.2 and -.9. I installed them exactly the same on each side, I even used your DIY. Any ideas?

what are you trying to get your camber to?
that is already pretty low. i run -1.6 in the front and -1.4 in the rear

im sure you havent maxed out the arms yet, but i done know cause i dont have the spc ones. also make sure to get your camber and toe to be even on both sides

That's my goal now. Since I have a sedan I was going tohope for at least -.5 or a bit less in the front and -.7 in the rear. At this point it looks like I can't make it without the spacers in the front.

ah
didn't know you had a sedan not quite sure what the sedan specs are. i would take it ot the alignment place see if they can get anmore out of the passenger side and then just set the driver side to whatever the pass side is. then just set the rear a little more negative

That may be what I need to do since I know there are some problems associated with the SPC arms once the spacers are installed.

Thanks.

With you having a sedan, you may need the spacers if your drop is low enough. The ride height of the sedan is about 1/2 inch higher than a coupe.

It's just off that after I changed the springs. My specs before the front cambers was L -1.0 and R -1.5.

Do you have any idea why that passenger side started out so far off from the other side?
