Camber arms for lowering springs

[kaosera]

Hi there,

I'm looking at purchasing some lowering springs for my 370z going either with Whiteline or Swift Spec R springs

I've been reading through a lot of the370z.com forums and these lowering springs may require rear camber arms to meet the stock spec for alignment. In this case, do I need get certification for the rear camber arms? As I was reading somewhere on the lvvta threshold that if the camber arms are used for alignment to OEM spec, they do not need certification. 

Just hoping for a bit of clarity on this.

Thanks!

Hi Kaosera

Camber arms always require cert, the threshold lists eccentric bolts or bushings for adjustability of wheel alignment as being under threshold, but not entire arms.

Most common aftermarket lowering springs do not lower vehicles enough to require camber arms and maintain OE spec wheel alignment, as wheel alignment has a tolerance of + or - the specification. With good spring selection, you would probably not need the arms, saving the cost of cert.
