Which Front Upper Control Arm Will give me the most Camber?

help me out, im running a +14 offset 9 inch wide wheel up front.. the problem is that its poking out about half an inch, i have a kenetix upper control arm right now, but its maxed out and only gave me -1.0 i need another full degree to match my rears with fronts, thanks.

SPC with the shims gives the most positive camber adjustment.

SPL the second most.

im looking to get more negative camber, right now im running -2.8 in the rear and -1.7 in the front i need another -1.0 up front, so i would need an arm that would go to -3.0 camber.

lower it MOARRRRRRRR and you will get some negative camber :-) SPC is the best to fix camber in the front but if you want - camber then just go with some front ichiba front A arms a lot cheaper then the SPC ... post a picture of your car ... what are your wheel offsets ??? i want to see why you are wanting more negative camber... are you aggressive ???

you fronts look fine .... whats wrong with them ... if your not lowered that much and want to stay within spec , stay with 350z specs and you will be ok .. are your rears rolled flat with that setup ?? IMO the whole car (camber) looks fine .. hell i wish my camber was like that im like -3.4 rear and -3 front lol if you go lower :-) you will have natural camber front and rear and that 1/2'' up front will go away .. yea roads here in florida sucks A$$ but its ok a little scrape never hurts anyone :-)

+1 ^^ pm levon he is the camber MASTER !!!

they stick out a little to far, they also rub on most bumbs, the rears are just rolled flat.. i dont have any issues in the rear with rubing. i want that wheel to be a little more tucked in the front and this should get rid of my rubbing issue.

How about some side view shots?

And I'd suggest losing the brembo sticker on your sidemarker but that's just my opinion.

SPC's will give you the adjustment you need as will 350 Evo upper A arms. I use Cusco and had them modified to give me even more camber adjustment. Without the modification I got -4.1 camber and with the modification I got -4.7, but I can squeeze it out to -5 if I really wanted to.

If you're interested, here's what I did to get the additional camber. Not sure if this can be done with your Kinetix, but if so it will save you some money, just labor costs.

How pretty much everyone's upper A arms look

Basically I had the inner part shaved off and then had the plate flipped.

I have a set of SPC front camber arms and shims for sale. I haven't posted in the marketplace yet. I never used the shims so all that stuff is new in the bag. The arms worked perfectly on my X, but I went back to stock so I took them off.

They are in great shape. PM me if interested. (I also have some Eibach pro-kit springs and a full set of struts/shocks available. I swapped out the struts because I figured they would be in bad shape, but I guess 42k miles isn't enough to mess them up... so they are used but in great shape.)
