Question about SPC front arms
Hey everyone just picked up SPC front arms for my G. I've been reading alot across the web and not just on our cars that these arms may or may not have an issue with clunking and making noises, but haven't seen any recent threads so I'm opening up this one. I know people with slammed cars will probably have an issue. My car for reference is 26.5in FTG on tein coils with stock 18in wheels, so not that low at all in all honesty, and I'm using the arm to get back in spec alignment. If anyone could chime in with their opinions it would be appreciated

Had my SPC kit (front & rear) for about 5 years and 70k miles, no noise issues w/ mine ever, mine is currently at 26.25" to the fender arcs. Was down to 25.75" the first 20k miles, and no issues then either.
Thanks blnewt I'm glad someone has chimed in, do you have the "jounce" spacers installed on yours?. I'm also aware theres been multiple versions of these arms so that could be a factor as well. I'm installing them myself, so fingers crossed for no issues!
I have the version prior to your setup (I think it's version 2 out of 3 for the 2nd gen Gs), I don't have those spacers. I installed mine myself, and just left the caster adjusters as it came from SPC, the alignment tech just left them as is, turns out the caster ended up over spec. I'm glad it turned out that way as the extra caster keeps it tracking very true, just a little harder to turn off center, but a good tradeoff IMO, vs having a G that's more prone to wander & tramlining.
