Kinetix or Cusco A-arms
I have new tires going on next week and need front camber arms ASAP. The Cusco's are going for 395 shipped currently, about the same as Kinetix.
My problem is, i am slammed on HKS RS coils, probably a good 2-2.5 inches all around.
Ive heard Cuscos wont give as much adjustablility compared to Kinetix.
My main goal is to get as close as i can to factory specs to save these new KDW's.
What do you guys reccomned? Will Cusco get me pretty close?
Thanks guys

Their is a excellent thread on www.350z-tech.com about how to get more negitive correction range out of the Cusco arms. Problem is, right not the site is down and I can't even try to pinpoint it for you, sorry.

I have KWD2s ($215 a pop). I got the SPC toe kit for the rear. I was about to buy the 350evo a-arms since they allow up to +3 degrees camber but i'm holding out for the SPC kit, hopefully will be out this month.

the spc fronts are goin to come with both arms for the front to allow for even more camber adjustment as well as caster adjustment.
the kinetix will get you back to within stock so to say they wont mosies is wrong. i have the kinetix on my car and they work fine just squeek since i have the old version.
for the spcs though talk to peter at aipdirect.com

?? what exactly are you trying to say? Im trying to fix camber and toe issues, not change my offset, tires, or my ride height.

I understand that....but what i said still applies
You are not going to get back to stock rear toe/camber conditions with a 2.5 inch drop on HKS coils. You'll need to raise the car back up slightly to accomplish that.
Front toe is factory adjustable...that is a no brainer
Camber is not going to kill your tires unless all you do is drive straight. Toe is the tire killer, and front toe is factory adjustable. At a 2 inch drop, the Cusco should provide enough adjustment provided you're not running a particularly wide front wheel with a particularly low front offset.

I just installed the SPC rear camber kit which includes camber arms and toe bolts, so i should get my rear camber and toe back to stock settings.
Cusco wont even come close to getting me back to stock camber measurments, since they only allow something like .25 positive camber. So i figure im better off with kinetix front A arms.
But i do see where you are comming from. I needed to reread your post to realize you were actually trying to help, and not just spouting off some nonsence. Thanks bro.
