I've been searching now and have a couple questions about camber I couldn't find. I'm going to be running the HKS hipermax coilovers at their recommended height(25" front/25.6" rear, ground to fender) and was wondering if I even needed a camber kit. I was probably going to run the Euro spec with -1.5* up front to try to dial down my non-staggered set-up. Would I even need a camber kit for this?

No need for camber joints. You'll be able to hit -1.5 degrees in the front with stock hardware and those ride heights.

Thanks. One less thing to buy.

Just read the 2011 rules... There should be no points for these, as their non-adjustable camber joints (as long as the track width is not increased by 4"). Is there some advantage offered by the SPC because of being "adjustable"? Wish I had known about the J's and the +2 for SPC ... which I bought last year, but haven't installed yet...

I called Evasive, Bulletproof, and Go Tuning and they were all out.

So, I did a Google search and found Speed Alliance. They didn't have them in stock. They called J's Racing in Japan while I was on the phone and arranged for J's ship it to my door. It was $25 for shipping. I was worried about how long it would take, but it got here a week after the order was placed.

I ordered right after the earthquake, but it still got here super quick.

I will be doing business with Speed Alliance again. It was nice not having to wait for a freight container. They were probably able to ship it this way because it was a small item. Be sure to call them instead of ordering over the net.

SOS only has the SPC joints. N1 told me they couldn't get the J's joint at this time. Speed Alliance is the best bet. Never heard of them before, but they were very courteous over the phone and quickly processed my order. Shipping and Handling was $30 with a 7-10 business day estimate for delivery. Most other shops wanted $100+ for shipping.
