So just got the SPC camber arms installed.
First the superficial comments:
These look like single piece CNC milled, so they’re stronger looking and really nice to look at. Not painted. Aluminum I believe.
The hardrace samples I looked at for various cars looked like it had welds on it. I felt that was a negative regarding strength or longevity. Also they’re painted so you risk the paint deteriorating in time.
Factory looks like multiple layers of stamped steel welded together. They’re really heavy too.
The SPC arms are also part of the Eibach package.
Buuuut, they’re all hidden underneath so... superficial.
Install:
Had a shop do it. They didn’t have to drop the subframe or gas tank when installing.
I asked to dial in my camber to slightly less than stock. -1 exact in the rear. The factory specs have a very wide range and my tires could wear a tad bit better. Obviously having the adjustment makes things easy. I am much more confident in doing suspension next year and won’t be worrying about camber.
Note: new factory bushings are hardcore. I don’t see how you can get stiffer. If your getting hardrace then I’d say skip the rubber bushings for the pillow ball ones.
Ride:
No difference in ride quality. Just that now camber is adjustable.
