SPC Performance Audi Q5 Upper Racing Control Arm Kit

SPC Performance is known for making suspension components that let you dial in your alignment precisely, and this adjustable upper control arm kit for the Audi C8 platform is a prime example. If you're looking to fine-tune your vehicle's handling for track use or spirited driving, these arms are designed to give you that extra edge. This kit includes four arms, allowing for adjustments to both camber and caster by plus or minus 1.5 degrees on each side of the vehicle. This level of adjustability is crucial for optimizing tire contact and improving cornering performance.

Constructed from forged 6061-T6 aluminum, these control arms are built to be strong while keeping weight to a minimum. They replace the factory's compliant inner bushings with xAxis sealed flex joints. These joints offer free pivoting and minimal compliance, which translates directly into a more responsive feel from your steering and suspension. You'll notice a significant difference in how the car communicates with the road. The kit also includes OE-style, maintenance-free, booted ball joints and replacement pinch bolts for installation. This kit fits a wide range of Audi models including the Q5, A6, and A7, as well as the Porsche Cayenne.

It's important to note that by replacing the original bushings, which are designed to absorb noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH), these performance arms will transmit more road noise into the cabin. This is a common trade-off when upgrading to a more performance-oriented suspension setup. If you're aiming for maximum control and a more direct connection to the road, this kit from SPC Performance is a solid option.
