Non-SPC camber kits?
Just replaced the tires on my '11 Sport sedan and those Bridgestones looked like cones. Car desperately needs more negative camber for the way I drive. Don't want to wear the new S-04 Pole Positions that way.
I was browsing earlier today and saw that SPC, Eibach and another company (darned Olds-heimers disease!) make camber kits. Y'all only talk about the SPC. I can't seem to find anything about the Eibach camber kits. I looked back two years in this forum and tried to use the search feature which unfortunately is "or" only, no "and" capability, so if there are any posts they're buried amongst all the lowering questions.
I'm not intending to lower the car. In fact, I wasn't going to mod this car at all but the tire wear bugs me bad.

Ichiba & Kinetix make kits too but I'd stick w/ SPC/Eibach or SPL if you want to open up the wallet.

Kinetix! That was the other brand. According to the photos I saw, the Kinetix and Eibach fronts looked identical. While made from tube, they've been shaped and flattened, looking rather similar to the stock cast-aluminum part except for black paint. The SPC is "totally tubular, man" and silver.
I was curious if the slide adjustment of the Eibach/Kinetix caused trouble over time.
OMG, it sucks getting old. I just checked again and SPC/Eibach are the shaped parts with the bolt adjustment and the Kinetix parts are totally tubular.
SPL doesn't seem to offer front camber parts so they're out, not withstanding their racing focus (and price and NVH)
So, what's the thought on the Kinetix parts? I expect the threaded adjuster to be easier and more precise to adjust?

SPC and Eibach are identical. The Kinetix is the silver tubular one. The Kinetix is garbage in my opinion, I bought them and returned them without even installing them. There is also the option of SPL which in the opinion of most are superior to all of the other products but are also more expensive.
I'll make your search really easy

Wow, those SPL upper control arms are the dog's danglies. Have they been known to participate in group buys?
I'm thinking SPL up front, SPC in rear though $2k is tough to swallow for something that should have been designed in by the factory.

Call or PM Import Parts Pro.

It's not clear to me that pricing is for a pair or for single arms. I assumed single. I might have to drive up to Import Parts next Friday and check them out.
Pricing is per pair. PM or call, as a forum membe you might be quoted a better price than posted on the website. This is true of many forum vendors. Also, keep in mind that most vendors don't stock these parts in house, but drop ship directly from SPL in Austin.
Good luck.

Per pair pricing makes this much easier to swallow. Thanks for the heads-up about inventory and possible forum deal. Now I'm going to have to flash all the black G37s I see. I'm in the Clear Lake area so our passing is not unlikely. At least, I assume your car is black...
