SPC – Front camber kit,

Retail of $479, actual street price is mid-high $300 range

Here is the link of when I first took pictures of the product last year when it was still going through some heavy R&D Road Race/Autocross forum and Type-R forum

Since the part is fairly new, I called SPC for the specific part number, and had a local vendor order it up for me…Chuck’s Brake & Wheel in Santa Rosa, CA great guys and they’re the NASA tech station too.

The part is made of Aluminium, and then is shaved down to reflect left, or right hand side parts. Since I received one of the first parts, there weren’t any part numbers on them to reflect which part was left/right side…it’s fairly evident when you pull out one of the stock pieces and compare them side by side to know which side belongs where. This part is a little on the pricey side, but with the fit and finish of the part, and the available uses I find that it’s well justified.

Installation – it was fairly easy, pull suspension out of the way, remove the old one, install the new one.

Adjustment nut on the top – 27mm
Torque spec – 120 ft/lbs

Adjustment – camber and caster can be adjusted at the same time

Camber adjustment - camber is fairly easy to adjust just loosen the top bolt(the hard part, we had to disconnect the upper ball joint to get the bolt low enough to get a 27mm wrench in there), and move it to where you want it to be, and snug it up, put a wheel back on, and check your alignment.

Caster Adjustment – same as above, but you have to remove the ball joint, and move the disc to a new position to either gain, or lose caster.

Directions –

looks like a very nice part, much more beefy than my JUNK2's. and I like the caster adjusting abilities I might have to look into these.

I would also like to know what suspension was being used, as I do not have any issues with it on my car, and I've been driving for the last month with them installed on mountain roads of Northern California, and hitting most of the pot holes while I've been at it. Besides which, the nut doesn't protrude from the top more than ~3/8 of an inch.
