I was thinking that the guys experiencing the problems may be extremely lowered, to the point where they have very little available suspension arm travel.

I doubt I need the front kit anyway. Well, I'm hoping that I don't hehe.

No rattling on mine. Everything working fine so far. I put in zero castor and eyeballed roughly halfway on the camber adjustment before I installed the UCA's. I got the car aligned and everything was good except for the toe! Amazing luck!

A tip I learned ... once you get everything back together, camber adjustments can be done, but not easily. The arm does not come down far enough to get a torque wrench on the camber adjust nut. You have to disconnect the swaybar again which will allow the UCA's to come down more.

Can you take a pic of your front wheels head on; from the front of the car. I want to see how flush they are with the wheel wells. I do not have the kit. However, I am planning on getting this soon. The fronts of mine have negative camber, which is annoying me to look at. I like it flush!

i removed the front wheels today and checked in the fenderwells, there were no tell-tale signs of the arm hitting/tapping inside the fenderwell like what was shown on myg37.com. we have terrible roads here in the hampton roads area of virginia, when i hit pretty steep bumps the most i hear are hitting the bump stops maybe. i can't tell for sure, but its a pretty loud thud in the cabin. but lifting the car up and checking everything, i have not discovered any sort of damage except of course scrape marks on the plastic undertray of the engine. imho, there shouldn't be a problem with the sedans. i think if the drop was very aggresive, then there might be clearance issues between the fenderwell and the spc upper a-arms.

A little off-axis but you can tell that the camber is not off (-0.4*).

What is the part numbers for the front and rear SPC full kit? Also, are you guys ordering these kits through THMotorsports or SPC directly? Need to buy a kit today.

The fronts are 72130..not sure what the rears are but I believe rears are from the previous gen. I think HP AUTO has good deals on them, especially if you have ordered from them in the past. Just pm Andy from HP AUTO.
