Peter:How easy is this to adjust camber on the fly? I'm looking for something that can easily be adjusted for street and track. Looks pretty easy in the pictures but not sure how accurate a person can set it moving it back and forth between HPDE events.

BTW mods, what is this thread donig in the wheels adn tires forum? Shouldn't it be in brakes and suspension?

Camber adjustment on the fly should be very easy. I personally would align the vehicle and mark the position on the arm for street and track. Then you would just need to loosen the balljoint mounting nut, slide it into position and tighten it back down.

Not sure if it was asked here yet, but this question did come up on my350z and might be useful for others here... will the hub spacers affect the fitment of a bbk?

I would think not because the brake mounts are on the hub and the spacer goes between the hub and the spindle.

According to post #127 in the link, it also goes behind the caliper. Post #130 shows a diagram of this.

I'm just worried that my stoptech caliper bracket might not work with the spacer.

Alright...i just called peter up and he said that everything gets spaced out the same amount, so neither he nor spc sees any problem with a bbk. He also stated that the spacers are optional. These are only installed to give more than +1.25 degree of adjustment.

Ok, everyone I just received the most recent update from SPC and its both good and bad. The bad news is that they had a tooling correction to be made that was not performed as scheduled by the factory. This pushed the schedule back 6 weeks. The good news is that they are going to pay for expedited processing of our (IAP) order which will push delivery up 2 full weeks. Therefore, the new eta is 1st week of October. That is going to be for the first batch only which is going to be even smaller than expected. If you know of anyone else that wanted to get in on the first order, they need to order as soon as possible.

Excellent! Thank you for the update, Peter. I'll just have to wait a bit longer.

****UPDATE: THE KITS ARRIVED TO SPC ON THURSDAY AND SHIPPED OUT TO US ON FRIDAY!!! Since this is a very large shipment, it shipped to us via truck freight (Yellow Freight Company). When I tracked the shipment, it showed a Friday delivery date. We will do our absolute best to get this shipment broken down and shipped back out to you the same day and tracking numbers will be provided.

We only have a handful left for sale on the batch coming in. If you know of anyone waiting on these, now is the time to order as I currently do not have a specific ETA on the next batch.

Thanks for hanging in there guys. Let me know if you have any questions. ***

FYI, SPC FRONT CAMBER/CASTER ARMS ARE IN STOCK!! They arrived a couple days early so anyone with a preorder, your kit has shipped out. We have a handful left and no eta on the next batch. Get yours before they are gone.

F*cking A, you have to be freaking kidding me! I just went through the biggest PITA doing this install b/c it doesn't state the spacers to be optional in the instructions.

You should have called me. In my review, I said I didn't use the spacers because I didn't need them. At least you have plenty of adjustment now.
