SPC arms contacting fender, Lets see your solutions?

Hey Guys


I recently installed the newest version SPC front camber arms and am having issues with them contacting the top of the fender even after installing both provided jounce spacers. Im sitting at a little over 25" and didn't have this issue with the OEM arms. I needed the extra camber so I bought these, they fixed my camber issue but created another problem...Don't know what to do? I just got off the phone with the guys at SPC. They claim to know that this is a very common issue with our cars however have no solution to this problem other then to cut or hammer out upper fender...


Im sure others have been in this situation, what have you done other then raising the car? Have you cut a slot for your arms to come through the engine bay? If so, do you have pics?

Car in question 2008 G35 sedan


Thank you

cut the hole, its easy. Shortenning the knuckle will decrease the camber.
