Z1 Front upper control arms installed
So I finally bought some Z1 front upper control arms (race spec) to address my camber issue up front. I grabbed some 20mm spacers and extended studs from them as well.
Installed extended studs, front upper control arm and the 20mm spacer.

Got it aligned today...
Much better

Felt amazing during my test run post install. Guy who aligned it said he was impressed I had it so close to spec. You can feel a huge difference with the larger tire contact patch up front. I was a bit worried going with the race spec upper control arms but they honestly ride better than my 85,000 factory arms did. Much tighter feel and it removed almost all my tramlining issues from what I can tell so far. All I need is swaybars now and I'm set

Make sure you double check that the ball joints are tightened. They are two piece ball joints and both of mine started backing out on me making a bunch of noise up front. I pulled them completely apart, used some red locktight, and tightened them back down.
I like the design of these over the SPC so went with the Z1's. They're cheaper too

Z1 Motorsports Adjustable Front Upper Control Arms feature an offset ball joint location in order to deliver an optimal caster increase. Increasing the amount of positive caster will increase steering effort and straight line tracking, as well as improve high speed stability and cornering effectiveness. Positive caster also increases camber when cornering as the steering angle is increased to keep your Z planted through hard corners.
**In addition to a slight increase in caster, they have an adjustable arm length to provide additional camber adjustment for stance or tracking for the serious motoring enthusiast.
