i heard the spc rear bolts tends to have play thus causing alignment to go out of spec after a while, so until the prob is fixed i think it'd be better to consider other options such as SPL. Perhaps someone else might be able to organise another GB with SPL or something else as im pretty flat out recently. sorry to keep u guys hanging but i wouldn't want this to go ahead anyhow knowing there's a problem with the product.

mods please /thread. ta

Not sure where you heard that info about the bolts, anyways I've just ordered these arms off Amazon for less than $210 delivered.

Looking at Cusco front arms next. Bit pricier than the SPC ones but look like a better option.

Anyone running Cusco's ?

did this end up going anywhere?

I can see just by looking down the side of my car that the fronts have way too much neg camber, and probably explained why my last set of tyres were trashed on the inner shoulder. I am looking at front camber arms (already have SPL rears) - is this group buy a go?

Has anyone done any more researche into the SPL knocking issues on the fronts? Last thing I want is to ruin the ride.

It sounds like you already have, raise it up a little...

Don't think so - I'm on Tein h-tecs which are only a 15mm front/8mm drop over factory - they are the most subtle drop you can get.

When I say ride, I am referring to clunks and thumps that loose ball joints and wandering bushes will cause. Read some shocking reviews on Ichiba arms detailing this.

Obviously I'll be doing a wheel alignment when the new rims arrive - but a set of camber arms is cheaper than replacing as set 245/30/20's every 5000kms - so I'm doing my research.

But thanks for your concern!

thanks sean, have you got a set?

yeh - this car won't be getting track work. It was purely about saving tyres and getting as close to factory specs as possible.

more or less just wanted something with solid quality - adjustment that wouldn't back out over time - and quality bushes and ball joints (nothing sh1ts me more than clunking and knocking suspension parts.) I couldnt find a bad review on these.

With the BC coilovers on their way, whiteline swaybars front and rear, SPC rear camber arms and toe bolts - the A-arms are the final piece of the puzzle.

Plan is to sit the car bang on 100mm of clearance to keep it legal and then dial all the arms in to factory spec with instructions to make the tyres last as long as possible whilst still clearing the gaurds. Now to find someone who can dial it all in!

Nah mate i've got SPC camber arms, i went for the cheaper option as i found in my research the SPL arms were mainly used for track use but are overall a better build.

Me too! I have just recently got my right front comp rod bush changed and i've still got a slight clunk after i lowered my car and i can't work out what it could be. Either control arm bushes or ball joint. I know my shocks are farrrked though.

Nice, that's a really good setup whiteline sway bars are very common and can't go wrong with BC coils.

Good luck man, i'm sure there's plenty of people down that way who know suspension.

      It only looks tidy, as most of the stuff that was on the whole back wall, is now in the trailer to go to the tip, or has been shoved in my 2.2x2.4m "Spare parts room", and now I can't get to anything in there Ha ha ha I could definitely do with a bit more space, but I'd just end up with your problems I'm going to enclose the car port beside the garage, and move a lot of stuff into it I think. OR... It will be setup as a fabrication area, and the main garage will have parts storage in it. I'm not sure yet... Need some pictures of that big shed you've got with the bikes and Skyline in

      No. I think it's gone. 😭 I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.

      Cleaning my wheels 😍

      Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.

      @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣

      Modern oils are amazing. Add tyres to that as well.
