Which spc camber kit?

Before writing this, I did search and only came up with one thread that didn't have precise info so here I am now. When looking at rear camber kits on tirerack there are two different choices:

Rear Fitment
Note: Camber +/- 3.00.
Price: $29.00 (pair)
Manufacturer Part #: 5.72265K


Rear Fitment
Note: Camber +/- 4.00.
Price: $174.00 (pair)
Manufacturer Part #: 5.72260K

Anyone know which one I should get if I'm lowering my car on eibach springs and what the difference between the two are? Thanks in advance.

Heck, I'll even add to the question...
Eibach, Ichiba, SPC... what to buy?
There's plenty of kits to choose from and some differ quite a bit in price.
What's the best option for us X owners and why?

I still haven't ordered my kits yet. I'll have to get off my *** and get it done soon.

If you're interested in some of the best stuff on the market, I can get you Battle Version camber arms, just PM me. Can't advertise since I'm not a vendor.

If I remember correctly Eibach just distributes the spc kit even though it's called eibach, it comes stamped as spc.

I have the rear Ichiba, looks up to snuff, haven't installed it yet though. Bought it from B2 (vendor here) for quite a bit less than Eibach and nearly half of what the SPC costs.

There have been people that have been dissatisfied with the Ichiba since it doesn't adjust as much as it should (this is on the 1st gens so maybe it's different for the 2nd?). I'd suggest paying more and getting something a bit more quality, especially when it comes to suspension. Ichiba parts are known to be a bit cheap, for example on their wheel spacers the studs have broken causing quite a bit of damage to the vehicle. Just a heads up.

I've had the Eibach before, then sold it, as far as i can tell they have the same adjustability. I've also had Ichiba spacers in the past (v1's, not the v2's) and have had no problems with them over the years. YMMV.

I mean Ichiba camber arms as opposed to Eibach/SPC and others. Battle Version hands down has the most adjustability. Take me for example, -7.5 and I have room for more...i can even go with more negative camber and still have my toe in spec (to do so requires true coilovers). You can get extreme positive camber as well with the BV arms. In all honesty, they're the best out there due to the adjustability and quality is top notch, there's a reason why so many drift car's, like the Z's, 240's (even Falken's 240) uses BV camber and toe arms.

As for the Ichiba spacers, not all are going to have problems, but I know of several instances where there have been problems with them. If all of them or even a good amount of them did, they would not be selling as much as they do now. It's whether or not the consumer wants to pay for something that is more quality and have that peace of mind.

If I remember correctly, SPC makes Eibach's camber kits, but they are to Eibach's specifications, with Eibach's name on the parts in a different color than what SPC uses.

I'm sure in times of a bad economy, etc... they might have just started using SPC's camber kits as their own, but I'm not too sure how much they change or don't change now.

Here is my thread regarding the camber kits: https://g35driver.com/forums/v36-bra...-full-kit.html. As you see, I chose SPC, which at the time, was the only one avalaible that would work with the H&R springs I am lowered on. Obviously there are other kits out now, as this was a while ago. Good Luck! P.S. The interior of my house has since been painted. Lol. You will see what I am talking about.
