Some questions re: SPC front camber arms
For those who have SPC front camber arms on their car...
1) Is it true that the front of the car will be a bit higher after installation?
2) How hard is it to adjust these? With the rear camber arms and toe bolts, you can easily make adjustments while the car is still hooked up the alignment machine and see real-time results on screen. With the front arms, I'm thinking you need to jack up the front, make small adjustments, put it back on the alignment rack to get a reading, and keep doing this over and over until you're set).
3) Do you forsee any problems with the arms hitting any part of the car and making noise say, when you are at H&R height?

1- The springs/strut assembly determines the height. Front camber arms do not change ride height. I know someone reported it, but I don't see how that's possible.
2- Generally, I think it's pretty easy to get it in stock range. If you are targetting, a specific number, it probably takes jacking-adjusting-jacking-adjusting. When I installed mine, I dialed in some camber correction (which happened to be well within stock range) and I don't think the shop touched it--just zero'd the toe.
3- Only the G37 coupe's had issues with the arms banging--they have since gone with our sedan part. I cannot speak for H&Rs but with Eibachs, I have never had any problems. The arms do take up some space above the stock arms, so I guess the potential does exist, especially with lower springs and bottoming out.
