Just got my SPC front upper adjustable ball joints from Assaultech for my IS350. Wanted to adjust in some of the 2.5 degrees of front - camber that I got dropped on BCRs. Despite a shipping error (shipped only 1, purchased 2), Assaultech came through with a quick overnight for the second without a hitch. Overall, a good shopping experience; plus it helps have the cheapest price on the net for these things!. After a quick examination of the ball joints they appear to be of high quality and laser cut; overall, very nice pieces.



A glance at the instructions reveals that since I will be removing negative camber I be need to trim/grind down a tad bit of each of the "lips" on the upper control arms; no biggie, I'll be removing the arms anyways. Instructions are clear and easy to read; but the install will be pretty straight forward. Before installation, I'm considering looking for a new huge socket to tighten down that top nut. We will see.

If I remember, I'll take some pictures throughout the removal/install process and create a DIY for the forum here.

 

Hey Gville350,

How low did you go with the BC's?

 

Looking forward to hearing about the install. This is next on my mod list.

 

Hey Kris, I went with 2.5" all around lower. Measurement was taken from the floor of the garage to the highest point of the arch of the fender. Rears, zero rubbing. Fronts have some rubbing; more on the driver side, as that's an extra 200 lbs there and I tend to take right hand turns more aggressive than right turns. Zero issues from the set so far!

 

How much did you end up getting the SPC ball joints for?

 

I've hard that type does more for the camber then the camber ball joints and arms do. Would the figs lca's accomplished the same effect for tie wear?

 

~$175 shipped.

 

The SPC ball joints are for the front. The Figs lca's are for the lower rears.

 

is this the best combo to correct the camber?

 

Megans makes a rear camber kit, would the toe control from the LCA still be more beneficial for correct alignment then the camber kit?
