Good choice. I've got SPC kits on the front and back with no regrets. Tires are wearing perfectly and at $850 a set, that's saying alot.

when you drop the car, and after the springs settle, at least i found, it can cause the car to start pulling. my next set of rubber will be like 8-1,000 a set as well! plus i'm still running excelllent bridgey re730 potenza's. gotta keep her riding on rails!

Hey kman, what was the process of aliment and camber adjustment? They put ur car on the machine...they measure...they jack up car and adjust camber, they keep doing this till it's perfect? Or do they do it some other way?

the car stays on the lift as the camber is adjusted. my bro was adjusting the camber as i was reading the computer and yelling back to him when the camber display was lined up even /centered in the green on both sides! then the toe and caster just fall into place as that degree adjustment is done and the alignment is fine tuned.

I've got the RE730's on my ZX and love them. How are they on the TL? I was concerned that the tire would be too noisy for the TL.

The SPC kit replaces the upper ball joint and the new one is on a slotted sliding bracket. Loosen 1 nut and adjust.

Sorry, what i meant was, how are you suppose to adjust them and measure the camber at the same time? If the car was already on the lift and the camber being measured...then wouldn't the car need to be jacked up and then adj.. they lowered and remeasured?
