Z1 Motorsports: 350Z / G35 Front Upper Control Arms
Z1 Motorsports G35 Front Upper Camber Arms
Z1 Motorsports Adjustable Front Camber Arms for the Infiniti G35.
After over a year in development and testing Z1 is proud to announce our new Z1 Motorsports Adjustable Front Camber Arms for Nissan 350Z and Infiniti G35 models. We took on this challenge with a goal to produce the highest quality arms possible while maintaining competitive pricing and outstanding performance.
Inspected, assembled, re-inspected and packaged in house by Z1's trained staff, the front upper control arms arrive ready to install on your Z right out of the box. A professional alignment is strongly recommended after the installation of the arms.
With arms made of aircraft-grade 4130 chrome-moly hardened alloy steel, they are strong enough to take any track abuse you can throw at them, while maintaining good ride quality and solid performance. They feature a durable powder coated black and silver veined finish which is attractive for show cars, and chemical resistant. all hardware is custom CNC machined with Black Hard Anodize and Bright Zinc finishes.
Control arms are 100% re-build-able and use sturdy heim joint ball joints for maximum durability and performance. These ball joints are inexpensive and available for less than the OEM replacements.
Z1 Motorsports Adjustable Front Upper Control Arms feature an offset ball joint location in order to deliver an optimal caster increase. Increasing the amount of positive caster will increase steering effort and straight line tracking, as well as improve high speed stability and cornering effectiveness. Positive caster also increases camber when cornering as the steering angle is increased to keep your Z planted through hard corners.
**In addition to a slight increase in caster, they have an adjustable arm length to provide additional camber adjustment for stance or tracking for the serious motoring enthusiast.
Street versions feature Energy Suspension Urethane Comfort Bushings for minimum flex, and maximum ride comfort. They are fully re-build-able and will soon be available for purchase separately through Z1 Motorsports. They are also fully serviceable with included grease fittings for long product life and minimal noise.
Race versions feature heim joints with solid race bushings to minimize flex and maximize performance. As a result, increased vibrations and noise may be noted. Z1 recommends using our Street Version if this is a concern.
Due to their modular design, Z1 Motorsports Adjustable Front Upper Control Arms can be interchanged from Urethane to Solid Race components within an hour and can be purchased separately. This reduces the need to purchase multiple Upper Control Arms, greatly reducing expenses, leaving you with more money in your pocket!
For more information please take a look at our detailed Instruction Manual.
These Front Upper Control Arms fit the following models:
* '03 - '09 350Z
* '03 - '07 G35 Coupe
* '03 - '06 G35 Sedan

These have been tested on the street and track and are VERY durable. The Z1 Control arms are 100% re-build-able and use sturdy heim joint ball joints for maximum durability and performance. These ball joints are inexpensive and available for less than the OEM replacements.

These are definitely on my list to buy, BUT it will be hell at the alignment shop...
After they spend 30 mins getting our babies on the lift, we'll have to break the news that they need to jack up the car to adjust the front camber! Jacking up the car also means the suspension needs to settle, as you know. This will cost even more time and will lead to frustration IMO.
What do you guys think?

Hi guys, great job hitting this section of the market with an affordable quality option. We were discussing your new product in a different thread and were concerned that they need to be removed to be adjusted. Can you design around this? Is this true?

Wonder if slight difference in threading in the bushings on the body mount will also lead to a slight increase in caster

Interesting point. I bought a set already and have yet to install them. Wonder how much of a full turn on Heim joint or on the body mounts yields in gain.

Idk about you but I can't remove the two body mount bolts (14mm) without removing the strut. If that is different with these arms that would be sweet.
Don't see why that wouldn't adjust caster, but with extreme adjustment it would put more stress on the ES bushings. Race version wouldn't have that issue.

That may be something we should all know before going in for an alignment so we can hit it or get close the first time the car is jacket up and the ball joint is removed.

The strut will not need to be removed to make adjustments.
Extreme adjustment will put stress on the bushings but is not needed because the alignment will be extremely off at that point.
Adjusting these arms is an easy task for the alignment shop and shouldn't exceed adjustment times over other arms. Before many of the guys here at Z1 hit the track, our cars and the Z1 track cars go to the alignment shop and we never have bad feed back due to time, frustration, or a stressful install nor have the customers rocking these new Z1 arms.
