My G is well spec'd and nearlly track ready , just need to finish the roll cage and bucket seats , running -4.5 camber on back but front is only -1.5 . I am need a more aggresive front lock and caster/camber for the front, have any of you guys fitted the various makes of upper front camber arms and if so how much camber/caster did it give you and which make seems the best ? Im dropped by around 50mm on front with a 9.5j -5 et so pretty aggresive and the tops need to be tucked in
Will have a look , what i may do is buy new coilovers but with the adjustable top mount camber setting , just unsure how much negative camber it will give ...

Those upper camber plates are vehicle-specific, unfortunately the G suspension isn't set up that way, camber arms are the only way.
Those companies that list camber plates are using is as a selling point, but it's only for "some" of their sets.
I ponied up for the SPL FUCA (LOL) for my stock suspension because it appeared to have the best engineering behind it. All I wanted was to get better tire wear.
From what I read, the SPL's are easier to dial in and adjust plus the SPC arm is a rod loaded in sheer whereas the SPL's are loaded in compression. Much safer.
SPL is the most expensive and prettiest. I haven't seen anything definitive that proves it's better...
The biggest benefit of the SPL is the ease of adjustment while on the car. They're the only arms I've seen where you can adjust them with the wheels still on the car.
Having said that there wasn't any chance I was spending $7-800 on a set of control arms.
I run the Z1 control arms and after addressing the ball joint issue using red locktight and the proper torque spec they've been great for me. I'm not a fan of the eyelet mounts the SPC arms use. Those have been known to fail on other platforms.

I don't do my own alignments, so theoretically, I'm paying to make someone else's life easier. While a nice gesture, I can't justify the cost.
SPL are higher quality. and from what I have read can withstand more cornering G force than SPC. I've had both and could tell a difference in handling feel ( better road communication) with the SPL
