Feedback needed for front control arms and maybe rear kits

Ok guys, SPC is working on the front control arms for the G37. They test fitted a mock up they had on Monday. They want feedback from you guys though on what you are looking for in a front control arm. Amount of positive or negative camber/caster? Numbers would helpful if you could post them up for me. For the 4WAS people, they have been told that the rear should fit the 4WAS systems but I told them that Max said that they were a little short. They said they might look at this in the future or have Eibach do the measurements again since they have someone with a 4WAS car. They want to get the front control arms out first because they are getting a lot of request for it and they said it is suppose to work for the 4WAS too. Any good suggestions? Give me the feedback so I can get it to them so they can look into doing it for the current system they are building. Any feedback on the rear would be welcome too. This will be stickied for a little bit to get the most feedback.

WoW... this thread is a back track... You had posted a long time ago that SPC had already gotten the measurements from Eibach... I figure the New Camber kits would be out already... We must not be a priority... hmmm....

Tell them to Call Sharif at Forged... He was the one who explained to me about the kit not fitting... He has a G37 on Stechs... so He can give them all the feedback they can handle....

bboy... what exactly are they for sure making now? anything?

Jeez, Max. They are working on the pre-production model now. They had a mock up they test fitted Monday but some of the measurements were not exact. The rear for your 4WAS they are not working on...at least not yet because there is not a big demand for it. I asked them about it and he said that he heard that the rears on the old system would work. I told the guy that they were short according to what you told me. He told me they might look at designing something if there is a demand for it but they are not going to worry about it until the front control arms are done because they fit for both models. They asked me to ask you guys what you are looking for in this control arm though especially as far as camber and caster adjustment (both positive and negative)

I believe these will since the 07+ sedans and the 08+ coupes have the same design from my understanding. The rear 07+ sedan rear camber/toe fit the Coupe so I believe the fronts that they are making will fit both the coupe and the sedan.

Wow thats good to hear, I was beginning to think it was never going to get released.

I have Eibach's installed and the camber is -2.06 on the left and -1.37 on the right. Factory spec is supposed to be between -1.08 and .42. Caster and toe are within factory spec.

I'll try and scan my alignment sheet later in the week.

IP37, I sent you a PM with the email address. This thread is no longer stickied. Thanks IP for your input. Anyone else that has input on how much camber adjustment they are looking for needs to post in this thread before it is to late.
