Help SPC arms contacting fender, Lets see your solutions?
Yes these are mine I just took the pic to show you. I did have alignment done. Camber is set at -3.9
There are 3 generations of arms, all branded 72130, the first set hit the fender, the second set were modified with shorter "flat" metal, compensated with longer "rod" metal.
I had the 2nd generation, and SPC upgrade me to 3rd generation.
Yours look like first generation, as the ball joint boots are black, not red, and you have longer "flat" metal stock than mine.
This is the new version:

Thank you. I'm going to contact SPC to verify which arms I received, as I specifically requested the newest generation available from Genome Tuning.
If I do have an older generation, I'd be very upset as I have already paid for installation and alignment.
I even sent the picture below to Genome Tuning to confirm that I received the correct product, and was reassured that everything was "good on their end".

I've got the middle version and mine have the red boots too. The SPC is pretty easy to see on the brass slider, it's engraved so you should see it clearly.
Good luck w/ your arms OP, hopefully they're not version one

All of the arms we ship out should be the new version since we get them from SPC. If they are indeed the old version, we would definitely replace them for you at no cost, let me know once SPC confirms with you and I'll get that taken care of.

I think I have the same problem. I also ordered mine from you Heinrich (Genome). I wonder why SPC was shipping out the older kits? Can someone confirm from my pic below that this is the old version?
Would you know if there is any adjustability with the OEM front arms? Do you think I could achieve -3.9 with my current ride height with OEM arms?

There's enough adjustibility. I can't give you specs but I am pretty slammed, always have been and the least of my concerns have tbeen the front camber. I'm on my second G37S too. I've always had normal tire wear in the front. When I do alignments they align it as best as possible and it's usually good enough. SPC are not worth the money and many have had issues. Save yourself some cash and opt out. At the very least, drive the car for some time without them and check to see how the tires are doing.
