Exclamation F&R camber kit and coilover question

I just had my alignment checked, and the results are not so good.

Rears are at -2 after adjustment and the fronts are at -1. The mechanic recommend that I get a camber kit and new front lower control arms because the bushing are GONE!

So after days of research I have pretty much settled on Megan Racing's: rear camber kit, rear radius arms, and front upper control arm. from all of the research i have found it looks like they are pretty much the middle of the road as far as quality.

I figure that since i am getting this stuff put on i want to get the shock and struts replaced since they have about 100K miles on them. Now what i am unsure about is going with Megans street coilover set or just going back with OEM shocks/struts. I dont plan on tracking the car or slamming it, i would like to drop it an inch or so, but its not that important to me, and i wouldnt mind a little bit stiffer ride. With that being said is it worth it to get the coilovers or should I just save my money and replace the shocks/struts?

With normal daily driving how long can i expect the MR coilovers to last me?

I would greatly appriciate some advice on this, from my research it seems that the are just as many pro's as there are con's when it comes to coilovers.....no matter what brand they are..

Here's my best advice, you need a camber kit front and back but I'd go with what works for our G35s. SPL makes everything you need to bring your alignment back to OE specs. You'll be able to get the front close to -50 and rear to zero. They're sold here on our MARKETPLACE under vendor suspension by Mike@CZP on page 2 at a good price....Gary

Thats not that bad. I have no camber kit in the front and its at -1.5 and my rears that do have it is at -2.1. The fronts are almost in specs and your at -1? You will be fine in the fronts. I wish the rears were in specs but its close enough.

Sorry bro....^....with -1 he'll be eating the insides of his tires. It might take 10K miles to hear the dreaded rooooar but our front tires should last 3 X that with the correct alignment and balance. My front tires are $400= each, it just makes sense to take care of them best I can....Gary
