I'm sure this was brought up before...did a quick search and didn't find any comparison.

I have Eibach drop and running -1.2 and -1.3 front camber.
Was leaning toward just Eibach front camber kit since not slammed!

thanks

I thought they were the same exact thing.

swizz70

so did I, but the eibachs look like a bolt and the spc's look like some type of arm or wishbone, but do the same thing!

some pics...
eibach spc (does say sample pic)!

They are the exact same part only put in a different box. The Eibach kit has SPC stamped on it. I know because I have it. I don't know what that first photo is of, but it's not an SPC or Eibach camber kit.

The first photo is what Tire Rack is using for a photo of the Eibach camber kit!

ok, went back on the site...this explains it! you have to click on the enlargement and it says this:

Lots of places have a general photo of a part and not the actual part you are buying. Trust me, that isn't an Eibach or SPC part for the G37.

This is what the rear SPC/Eibach arm and toe bolt looks like:


This is what the front camber arms look like:


I bought the Eibach rear arms because they were a few bucks cheaper. They have SPC stamped right on the side and Eibach nowhere on the part except the box. This has been discussed before:

Black Betty, with these camber parts can you get your camber to 0 deg.?

Thanks.

Black Betty

iTrader: (60)

Yes you could but 0 degrees isn't where you want it.

Thanks for the info.

Do you consider the SPC/Eibach camber components to be the best products available to adjust front and rear camber?

Noob Q here but what's the reason why you don't want it 0 degrees?

Black Betty

iTrader: (60)

Because a small amount of negative camber is good. The car handles better with a small amount of negative camber and optimal setting is slightly negative.

WARAT

So -1 to -2 considered minimally negative?

For those who are not concerned with handling and more of tire wear, a neutral (0) camber is best right?

Nope. You still want a bit of negative camber on there. Camber readings are done with the car level on the ground and stationary. Once you factor in suspension movement from just driving around, turning, etc, that # changes. If you're at 0, with suspension movement, your contact patch is minimized (riding on the outer tire edges of the outer wheel).

p.s. This is oversimplifying, but the idea is there.

Hey soundmike.. I just learned something again today.. thanks man.. It makes sense now having a negative camber. I went and looked at some of the alignments on my previous car, the paper shows some negative cambers. So that's why.. LOL
