SPC camber kit quality
So I've recently lowered my car and my rear camber is quite out of spec so I'm looking to get camber arms to dial the camber back to spec.
I'm wondering which rear camber kit to get. It seems most people around here are using SPC (72260 for the rear I believe) but the 370z guys have been raving about the quality of the SPL arms and claim that its worth spending more on the beefier SPL arms for added safety (especially for track use).
I am wondering what the general consensus is here about SPC camber kits. Are they fine for a DD with some occasional sprited driving? I only care that whatever I put on the car is at least as well built as the OE part. Is the SPC arm at least as good as the original part in terms of durability? If there is any concern over the build quality of the SPC part, I would rather spend more and get stronger arms.

I have the SPC arms on my car now. They have been adequate. However, I just got the SPL ones in to replace them (haven't installed yet). There is absolutely no comparison between the two as far as design and build quality. The SPL also offer greater adjustment and do not have any parts that will wear out over the life of the part. Yes they are indeed better. Whether it's worth the price difference only you can answer. It's not that huge a difference price wise on a relatively inexpensive part. If the extra $100 or so isn't worth your peace of mind wondering whether you should have spent the money to upgrade to a better suspension part, go with the SPC and call it a day.

If you are getting only the rear, the price difference isn't too bad to upgrade to SPL. I don't think the SPL arms come with toe bolts included though, so keep that in mind. The front camber arms are a different story though - there is a several hundred dollar premium for those compared to SPC.

I actually have no real issue paying the 100 extra for the SPL, but I did hear that the SPL have spherical bushings/bearings while the SPC use rubber bushings like stock. I heard the SPL ones will transfer more noise/vibration/harshness than the SPC.
If this is the case, I think I'd probably just go for SPC since this is a DD and I don't want to kill the comfort of the car.

I'd say throw the extra $100 in a fund for your next mod, buy SPC and don't look back. You won't regret it.

Spot on, I went SPC because of that. Its not a DD but I go down to the mountains with it, on longer road trips. Its plenty fine on the track too.

Based on the feedback here it seems like the SPC arms should be plenty to get the job done. Anyone know of any issues or complaints that people on these forums have had with the arms? I don't think I've heard of one actually breaking.

The very first SPC front A-arms for the second generation Gs had some weakness issues that were addressed w/ a slightly different design w/ thicker steel & welds. I haven't heard of any issues w/ the last two editions of the arms and IIRC that's been more than a couple years ago.
