You'd have the same issue as the SPC arms.it seems. The vert has a different design. See the pics in LEO2821's post on the welding mod done.

Very interesting. I'm just weary of the modified SPC part supporting that extra vert weight. Congrats on getting a custom solution though!!

If you're referring to the front lower link, I ordered a set from the dealership for R&D purposes regarding a modified/custom rear camber kit. This was easier than pulling mine off or putting my car on a lift. Unfortunately, I returned them once I had the information I needed. They're not that expensive. You can find all the rear suspension drawings/items in the RSU-15 Sec. 431 bulletin (FSM). Good Luck!

Thank you! That will be extremely helpful. I'm glad to hear they aren't expensive as well.

You were correct Coy1231. I was referring to the front lower link. Part # 551A6 (RH) right hand side. I haven't gotten a price on one yet but I'm optimistic bc of your suggestion that it's fairly cheap. I'm hoping for around $50 or so. Thanks again.

If I remember right I had paid around ~S110-$120 for the pair. So, if you're only looking for one $50-$60 sounds about right. Give the local dealership a shout. Most likely they'll have to order it, but should be able to get it for you in a matter of a few days.

Just got off the phone with Infiniti of Little Rock. The part will be shipped there tomorrow and shipped to me the following day. Only cost $25.17 shipping included!! Hells yeah.

I have the FSM instructions for replacing the part. However, if anyone has any tricks or tips they would like to pass down from doing it themselves it would not fall on deaf ears. Thanks again Coy1231!!!

Yeah it worked out pretty great. And fast. I expect the part to be in the mail Tom. I've already got the car jacked up and ready to go. Just need to borrow a buddies tools or check my own to see if I've got the correct sizes. I think I do

Installed the SPC bolts tonight. I'm very excited about how it looks so far!

It's too bad I used a shop with a pit alignment that stripped out 2 of my bolts or I'd have finished product pics. But I ordered another box of the bolts and we are gonna run with the stripped ones for a few days.

So how is your alignment, I assume it's in spec, or at the very least, much better than before?

It looks much better now! For some odd reason it actually appeared to have brought the rest droopy bum disorder up somewhat.

Before the install I couldn't see the top of the rear tires from a standing position BC of the swift springs drop. I don't understand how or why it happened but now I can see what seems like at least another inch of tire that o couldn't see before! Call me crazy if you must. But I'll be posting pics to prove it soon.

The alignment guy I gave the job to managed to strip out two of the bolts. So I had to order 2 more today. We went ahead And installed them for now tho. But the important thing is the drivers side where I had been eating tires like an NFL lineman at a all you can eat buffet.

On another note....i recently purchased an oil catch can for $40 and a cusco strut bar for $120 off the classifieds! I'm going to use the two new engine bay mods as an excuse to start my engine bay painting project!! So hell yeah I know that'll be fun.

If anyone has any pointers or has had a great experience with a certain paint your bay DIY then by all means plz post up the link.
