So I finally bought some Z1 front upper control arms (race spec) to address my camber issue up front. I grabbed some 20mm spacers and extended studs from them as well.

Installed extended studs, front upper control arm and the 20mm spacer.

Got it aligned today...



Much better

 

Looks great! Once you get some time on those Z1 arms post a review in the review folder (at the bottom of my posts). Bet you & your tires are much happier now!

 

Felt amazing during my test run post install. Guy who aligned it said he was impressed I had it so close to spec. You can feel a huge difference with the larger tire contact patch up front. I was a bit worried going with the race spec upper control arms but they honestly ride better than my 85,000 factory arms did. Much tighter feel and it removed almost all my tramlining issues from what I can tell so far. All I need is swaybars now and I'm set

 

What is your camber/caster in the front now?

 

Nice! Any added noise or NVH? I got a set on black friday and haven't installed them yet.

 

I was looking at these but went with SPL instead

 

Very nice. If I ever need to get some camber dialed out I would consider Z1 for sure.

 

Can't remember what it ended up being and I can't seem to find my paperwork

 

No unusual noises or vibration, if anything it has really tightened things up and smoothed out my driving experience.

 

So how do these compare against the SPC ones? Anybody got any experience? I'm looking to get a pair before spring and it'll either be SPC or those it seems.

 

Make sure you double check that the ball joints are tightened. They are two piece ball joints and both of mine started backing out on me making a bunch of noise up front. I pulled them completely apart, used some red locktight, and tightened them back down.

I like the design of these over the SPC so went with the Z1's. They're cheaper too

 

Yeah I know they're quite cheaper that's for sure, that's why I wanted to know more about these before I'd pull the trigger

 

Why is that? There's no wrong answer, just curious. $100 bucks difference.

Z1 : $288
SPC : $394
SPL : $764

 

just how the SPC adjust's is enough to drive me away...

 

The Z1 option gives you adjustment front and rear which allows for more camber correction. They use heavy duty high quality parts and you can tell they're quality when holding them. I didn't see the need in spending more money than I had to for the SPC name. I really don't like the adjustment on the SPCs but I will say it's easier to adjust (which I'll never do). I would highly recommend them.
