They are not always johnny-on-the-spot with email. If don't hear from them in couple of days, then just call them and ask for an exchange.

I got an Email from Jeff @ SPC this is what he says,

Since we are not going to be using the longer
arms and you have not installed the parts we will send to you at no charge 1
each of the shorter arms and you can swap out them so that you will not have
the issues that come along with the longer ones.

You will not need to send the old arms back to us you can destroy them as we
do not need them back.

We will send the shorter arms out today so you should get them in about 5
days.

Thanks and if you have any questions please contact me at your convenence.

I have sent Jeff an email too, hoping to get a resolution. My camber kit has been lying in my room unopened, untouched for too long.. and I need to fix my negative camber.

Can someone take a look at my alignment sheet and tell me if the G35 arms will work? I am on KW and SPC rear camber kit. Thank you!

^You'd probably end up at the minimum of the specified range, so closer to the -1.2deg.

just got the g35 sedan arms installed and adjusted. The fronts were visably horrible, basically completely tucked before alignment, but looks perfect now. I need an AWD rear camber kit though

fronts are in the green specified range....rears are -2.5 and -2.1

I hate to bring back such an old thread btu im having this problem and am a bit wowed.

I just installed my front a-arms for my 2008 g35 2nd gen sedan. im not sure if they are the "g35" or the longer "g37" arms but they sure do hit on EVERYTHING. the sound is pretty nasty. im dropped about 2 inches, maybe 1.8 in the front.

Also, the install raised my car about 1/4-1/2inch, i did NOT tq down the arm bushings while loaded, just with the knuckle connected, i think thats the problem.

are all the camber kits for our cars the same? i cannot live with this metal-metal clunk here in Miami with the horrible roads.

oh and also, i did no instal the bump stops as i had no idea where they went, looking through this thread i cant believe i have to compress my springs, take the struts out all to put in a couple urethane washers. is that the best SPC can do? the quality is freakin amazing but the fitment and usability makes me want to take them off right now...and its 1:30AM here.

Thanks

The part number that you need is 72130. If that's not the part that you have, then they are the wrong arms.

BB,

i have the right part # but with the drop i had (almost 3inches in the front) there was no avoiding the hitting. the SPC arms simply have too little space compared to the stock arms, and its because they offer caster adj. with my coils i wont be droppping so low so well see what happens.

i stand behind my opinion that bumpstops are not a solution and i wont be taking apart my CO's just to install them and limit the shock travel.

I see. I was just posting which is the correct part number, not telling you that the arms are the solution to your problem. If you were dropped 3" you'll have everything hitting on everything, no camber arms are going to help that.

I agree that having to take apart your coilovers and putting in bump stops shouldn't be the solution to fix camber. But at this point you have no other options other than to live with it.

Make sure everything is torqued down properly. Best of luck.

That could be your noise due to the bushing being preloaded, and trying to rotate against friction.
