Calling all sedans-What's your fender height?
^^To add to the SPL/SPC info, to me the ease of installation of the SPL and the fact they don't have the rubber bushing Stephen mentioned are what pointed me in that direction. The SPLs bolt right up like the factory A arms, and with the SPC you have to take off the wheel, rotor, and hub to mount their spacer back there then replace all that ****. It also uses a cheap plastic ABS sensor bracket you have to install to keep the proper air space around the sensor so it doesn't light up your dash. Lots of members have had issues with these arms on the install, and we have a local guy that took several shops and a few months to find someone who could fix his issues with the SPC.
That kind of piece of mind is well worth $100 extra for me and the SPLs will never wear out like the SPCs. You might have to eventually replace the bearings where they mount to the frame, but that's cheap and easy to do.
If I had to make this decision all over again I wouldn't even think about it, SPL all day long. Here's a pic of them, these are the V2s.
SPL also offered me a free upgrade kit to the V3 parts that had bigger bearings, heads, and heim joints, some comparison pics.

I purchased the arms from coz@czp on here and I got the upgraded parts directly from SPL. Their headquarters, and UpRev's for that matter, are local to me here in Austin. 
Wow those look wicked Tim. I need some SPL front arms but my camber up front is ok by me for the time being.
I haven't measured since I dumped it out some more but last I check it was about 23.6 rear ad 23.8 front.

It wasn't really intended, but the 225/40 tire up front was about to buck my fenders
You can't notice it at all because of the camber I suppose.
But! I plan to stay at or around this ride height and I put my deposit on a set of 19s last night On their way from Japan soon....

Did you get your CCW sold? What are you getting? I should have mine new set up in about a week.
Oh, fender to ground is 25.5" all around. I still bang the crap out of my cats and A-arms. Damn X

On their way from Japan soon....On 19s at that ride height you'll look similar to how Cliff current does on 20s. Depending on how aggressive your new set is you'll either have to run more camber or pull the fenders more to clear the lips of the wheels. Can't wait to see!
Sitting @ 25.5"F, 24.5"R now. Installed the front coils first and realized it wasn't as low as I wanted so I lowered the rears a bit more before I installed them. I'll lower the fronts when my spacers come in.
Stance GR+, Volk SF Winnings; Front 19 x 8.5 +38 (245.35.19 - General Exclaims UHP), Rear 19 x 9.5 +42 (275.30.19 - General Exclaims UHP)
^ Dropped all four corners to 24"
