I like these front control arms... they seem thinner than our oem arms. Good for guys on Air Bags. Does anyone have these on their GS? Also, running these with front RCA's... Will probably do wonders with front camber issues. Does anyone have these 2 items on their GS is it worth the $$$?

No problem.. i tried their website but it said "under contruction".. I sent them a PM as well.. Seems like a better option than stock spending over 700.oo for OEM arms..

SPC Camber Salvation!!
Since my Bilstein PSS (fronts only) lowered my front by about 2", I have been wasting away tires like crazy. Started with PZero Neros (which I hate), then moved over to GREAT Bridgestone Potenza RE960AS Pole Position (highly reccomended). Going on my second front sets last week. It really sucks because the outside thread is perfect, another 10-12K miles on them, but the inside were unsafe as they were bald slicks! Need to get these arms in quick so that I can restore normal wear on expensive tires at $225 a pop. I would love to hear if anyone had these installed and how they like them. Would also like to hear about before and after measurements of camber's you guys had out there. Did anyone had to use full +2 degrees for camber, or was that overkill...

Thanks SPC and thanks to you guys ahead of time

Camber doesnt wear tires at all! There are many people who have their tires at a 45+ degree angles and dont wear, just changes what part of the tire is being worn. Its your toe that is killing your tires. In any event, there is no need to buy anything, you just gotta get an alignment. There are many people with MUCH more of a drop than 2 inches still running stock parts with no wear. I'm running air tucking all my rims all the time and dont get inner tire wear, or rather didnt until I got a bad alignment. In conclusion... when you drop a car, you get negative camber (which isnt bad) and your toes go out (which is real bad) and takes out the inner tire. So instead of your tires facing straight like this:

||....||

They are facing like this:


\\....//


thus dragging the heck out of the tires


go get an alignment

(BTW, Pzeros are THE BEST! I will never look back)
