spc front camber arms

I was just wondering if i should invest in these considering i just bought and received new stance gr+ pro coilovers i wanna slam my car.... Im not intrested in going to the track that often i just wanna have a clean look w/o sacrificing ride height........ i have heard bad thing about those camber arms and im not to sure if there is any thing else i wanna go with....... I should have my rims here by monday they are 20X9.5 in the front and 20X10.5 in the rear ..... i know they will rub if i dont roll my fenders but that will be taken care of when they get here...... is there any thing else i should be aware of before my install?

Thanks

-Travis

Well if you slam the car and don't install a camber kit the alignment will be off bigtime and you'll go through tires like crazy. That goes for the back as well. I have the SPC front and rear kits and thought the install was easy and straight forward. I would recommend them to anyone that is lowering their car.

I have about 6k on mine, so I don't have to much history to say, but there are tons of members here running the SPC kits and I haven't heard of to many problems.

The rear SPC camber and toe bolts are a good choice.

If you plan on going with an aggressive drop.....more than 2" I would not recommend the SPC front camber kit. I had both the unrevised and revised version of that kit and rode on it for over 1.5 years and I was plaqued with a knocking over medium and large bumps/dips the whole time, with both kits (a little better with the revised). It was annoying and always bothered me. I was told by a forum vendor that I was dropped below the working conditions of the kit....??? I recently installed a set of 350Evo camber arms and couldnt be happier. The knock is completely gone and the quality of the ride is noticeably improved. I still have to get an alignment but so far my experience is night and day between the two kits.

I was going to go SPL but found a good deal on a set of used 350Evo arms. There are a few others that also have aggressive drops and are having or had the same issue. I've done my research on the boards with these members and other posted threads. Just a heads up on what I've experienced, for what it's worth.

Good luck
