Where to get SPC Camber kit installed near LA?

Hey guys,
I recently purchased an 08 G37S coupe. It is already lowered on Eibach springs and the owner included the front and rear SPC camber kits, not installed yet.

Anyone know of a good place that does camber installs and alignments near Los Angeles. I live in Marina Del Rey. Also, how much can I expect to pay? Midas quotes me over $500 just to install the 2 kits. Thanks!!!

Thanks for the quick responses guys! Josh, I'll give you a call soon so we can set something up.

Also, I think I remember reading about people having problems with something rubbing on the front camber kit. I'm having trouble finding it via the search function. Is this something I should worry about, or should I get the fronts installed too since I already have them?

Most guys haven't needed to utilize the front camber kit with Eibach springs, there is enough adjustment in the car.

The rears, absolutely will need the extra adjustment from the SPC kit. You could save some $$ and get away with just the rears.

Coilovers with an aggressive stance would need help for the front.

Really?? Where??
There is NO camber adjustment on the front wheels.
I was at -1.6 on both fronts after Eibachs.

Yes the toe can be adjusted to spec, and yes you will respond by saying -1.6 camber wont wear tires.
But no one drives twisties enough to justify excessive negative camber.


You could save some $$ and get away with just the rears.
Bad advise, get the arms, and bring it back to -6 where it SHOULD be.


Im canceling my splitter order!!

Unfortunately each car is different.. and he has them, we'd be happy to install him. Any goals or concerns are always discussed with the service manager before work begins.

Why in the world would that have anything to do with a splitter?

That was with the first generation arms, where it would hit the underside of the fender.
The new ones are fine.

On another note, if replacing with new front control arms, I would advise getting new ball joint pinch bolts, and properly torque them, $10 worth of insurance.

Thanks for the heads up. I think I'll end up doing both the front and rear camber kits. I mean... why not since I already have them both in my trunk? Also, I'll be sure to get those bolts too.
