Sooo have anyone install the front spc ball join and made the camber more negative?
Because of right now i have like - 2.2 in my front.
And i would love to be able to adjust my front a extra -1.5 if possible.
Hopefully so i can run more aggressive offset in the front.

Check Figs Engineering, they have come out with awesome "rear" lower arm camber adjusters and will have
front upper arms for both camber AND caster for 2nd gen is's. They both are truely what everyone has been looking for, I'm holding off on my SPC kit install to see what the final front upper arm is like. The ones on their site look super strong. They would sell a ton of them if their price was a little lower, but I realize that R&D is very expensive and it takes a long time to get past the break even point

What car are you working on? At -2.2 you're almost on the inner sidewall already. The SPC has +/- 1.5 adjustment. My '09 is250 factory "unadjustable" camber is -0.9 so how did you get to that -2.2 setting in the first place?

^ when you lower a car, more negative camber naturally appears.

I understand that, but -2.2 is a lot of lowering isn't it? And what about the toe, don't you need toe links for that amount of movement? Maybe the SPC's will actually give him the extra -1.5 he wants. Have you seen the FIGS ENGINEERING arms yet. Check them out on the "vendor" site at the top of this page.

Do you know anyone local with the SPC front camber kit on a ISX50? I'd like to see the outcome.. I'm debating,. I'm lazy to purchase and install.
