Retail pricing i imagine should be between $800-900. These are a lot more advanced then the UCA they made for the previous g35s. These look very sick and will be a huge hit especially in the 370z crowd

Anybody wanna guess retail pricing? I say $700+.
you'd be surprised to hear how much doran's UCAs for the 370z are, haha. they're out already (even to the public) and have been track tested

the camber adjustment design of these, indeed, are different to the ones made for the g35/350z. However, the design doesn't seem allow for the "shims" to switch between two camber settings (not that i care because i dont track my car) .

Rumour is closer to $1200!! As the design was actually for the GTR.

Notice a GTR UCA is almost identical to the G/Z.

Well here's hoping that they sell some of them. I know one guy who likes them a lot and would love to have them but not for $1200. No matter what they were designed for.

Fyi, just came across this:
SPL Parts Prototype GT-R Adjustable Front Control Arms - Part 1 (install) - Page 3 - Suspension & Tires - GT-R Life

some very technical stuff that i'm trying to get a grasp of. can you provide any insight, tvpostsound?
also, if you have seen the doran arms, do you have an opinion on them?

One more thing (separate thought so separate post)

These seem pretty genius to me
Installed Whiteline front upper control arm bushings - Brakes - GT-R Life
However, does this count as manipulating camber from the chassis end (since you're changing the bushing from the UCA mounting point)?

Not enough stress on UCAs to worry about that design.

An OEM arm isn't a perfect triangle either.
Have you held an OEM UCA, they weight like 2 lbs!!
