- Finally, z1 has come out with their own, branded rear adjustable control arms for the Q50 and Q60 and they look NICE! But is "nice" good enough? Watch this video first!
If you are not familiar with the purpose of adjustable control arms, you may find this video helpful as well. If you are well-versed in the reasoning behind installing parts like this, then you can skip ahead some for my final thoughts.

I have a 370Z that hasn't been lowered but I have serious outside tread wear on the rear tires, probably as a consequence of the sprung weight reduction I've done that's causing excessive positive camber. Also, the car seems to be riding a little higher, again probably due to the sprung weight reduction. Ultimately, I know that I'm going to have to go to coil overs to and get the car corner balanced, but in the meantime I'm looking to try to dial in some more negative camber on the rear tires and so I'm looking at camber arms.
My shop likes SPC but I'm not thrilled with them because the arms are made of steel and are heavier, with rubber bushings. Z1's street arms look like a good compromise solution for NVH and urability, being aluminum with polyurethane bushings with grease fittings. The other alternative would be either Z1 or SPL camber arms that have the solid Heim(spherical) joints. I don't mind a little extra NVH for the benefit of a tighter and more precise articulation of the rear suspension. The car is a dd that sees some spirited driving, so I'm on the fence. The price difference is not of primary importance to me. I'm wondering how those spherical joints would fare on the street, in terms of NVH.
Bout to cop these, my spc’s are toast and SPL is just tooooo baller at this time
I have those Z1 rear camber arms & UCAs on my 07 G35x and for daily usage + occasional spirited driving....it did the job 9/10
Excellent!
I think for 188 for Z1 CA. I'd rather go an extra and get spl ones for 315
Love the channel, man. keep em coming
Really appreciate it!
My 370z for the past ten years ( I bought it new) - has had strange tire wear on the passenger side front - the most recent alignment shop told me the upper control arm is bad - they seem to think going with adjustable is the only way to fix... My car is not even lowered either!! I may spring the $500 for the z1 FUCA's and see if that helps - with tire costs ever increasing, I'm just going for highway miles/longevity > cornering... it'll never be a track car so who cares!
How much negative camber can you run with these ?
I’m not sure what they max out at but I would imagine they’d have it listed on the website.
Hey J,
I am unable to see a video pretaining to the front or upper control arms..... mainly talking about the front toe arm.
Do you have such a video?
I didn’t install upper control arms in the Q so I don’t have a video on that, sorry.
best front upper control arms ? i tried voodoo and they are very loud and had them looked at few times already. been told to just get spl
SPL is good yes. I’ve never used them but always hear good things
Hey speed cutler,
I just installed rsr super downs have had them on for about 3 weeks and I have a shake on my front right tire on regular accel. Do you think just an alignment would take this issue away? If not Would you recommend adjustable caber arms just for the front with an alignment? Not sure what to do, Please help. Thanks in advance🙏🏼
I have a 2017 q50s btw.
Check lug nuts first.
@@SpeedCultureStudios they are ok got the wheels balanced as well.
@@MrJoeyzanger Then I would say an alignment is the smart move. 3 weeks should be enough time to settle, so it makes sense to get an aligment anyway.
Would you recommend z1 end links? I’m looking to invest in the sway bars and was wondering if you have any experience with them.?
They are a good upgrade, especially if you plan on pushing the car in corners. The beefier sway bars put a lot of pressure on the end links so the factory ones have been known to break
@@wrkls_ SPL is good as well. You’ll be satisfied either way
My tires are wearing out bad from the inside made me had to change one already so ima need to camber my tires.. do I need the control arms and the toe arms ? Or will the control arms suffice so that I won’t wear out my tires anymore
Toe kills tires so if you’re chewing rear tires fast look into both camber and toe arms
@@SpeedCultureStudios yea it’s my rear tires I haven’t checked the inside of my front yet but the rear was already down to the wire but I wasnt aware because from the side it looked good then when I removed tire I could see the wire
tried installing these camber and toe arms on my q50 but it didn’t pull much camber how do i adjust it to get the wheel tucked under the wheel well back wheel rubs on fender
With just the adjustable camber arms, will I be able to adjust it to sit more negative camber? Or is it only to reduce camber?
You can adjust in either direction.
What’s your opinion on isr single exit on q50 3.7 I’m planing on getting that
We don’t have a ton of single exit options. ISR has decent stuff. Did you see my single exit video?
Hey bro do you recommend theses over the spc ones?
SPC is great. The Z1 arms are good quality at a little better price, I would generally lean toward the Z1, but not necessarily because they are “better.”
@@SpeedCultureStudios aha I was about to shoot you a dm on insta. Thanks man. I think I’ll get the z1 arms.
Is it true that q50 comes with rear camber kit?
No-not that I am aware of
@@SpeedCultureStudios or maybe a control arm?
@@huhSHUAHonsetly I lowered my redsport on BC coilovers and the front has more adjustability then the rear as far as camber goes so if you went with a wider wheel setup these are a must. hope this helps !
