Default Guess what I found out today! - SEMA - SPC Camber Kit

Ok so maybe this is common knowledge but I have been wanting to get some adjustable ball joints to correct the camber on my IS350. I finally ordered the SPC IS300 ones Monday. Today we came to Vegas for the SEMA show and SPC had a booth there. I started talking to the guy about it and he said that they released an adjustable ball joint for the '06 + ISx50's last week. He had one there and it looked pretty solid. They're on the shelf now and the part number is a 67575. Kinda pissed I JUST ordered the other ones but what can ya do?

SWEET info BRO!!!!!!!!! I called them up and that part number is different. I spoke with a gentleman and here it is. Retails for $157 but he said O'Reilley's Auto Parts store carries SPC (SPP to O'Reilley's). He was guessing about $110.00 http://www.spcalignment.com/componen...AFrom&to=USATo

Ya I own a Napa parts store so I won't be buying from orielly's but I bought the other set from autopartsexpress ( I think ) and it was a great price. Hopefully the 2IS will be priced as well as the IS300 ones.

Not sure about the discrepancy on the numbers. That's just what the guy at their booth told me. I'd believe what the website shows tho. Thanks for the updated info.

just remember guys there is one drawback to all the camber adjustment equipment~ you'll discover you need new rims with better offsets

So how terribly difficult are these to press out and into the upper arm? I have a press, but its only really for bushings...cuz its manually operated and will only press what weight you can put into it physically. LOL!
