Don't want to start a new debate on A Arms, but...
Gentlemen,
I have combed thru the posts here, but cant't find a definitive answer to the best A Arm replacement match for my BC racing coil-overs.
A little background - I have an '03 G35 6MT with the factory performance kit. Have modified the intake with intake spacer and Z tube. My wife gave me a complete BC Racing coil-over set for Xmas. Yeah, I know it's late May and they are still in the box! First it was cold here in NC, then racing season got in the way (Sebring and The Mitty at Road Atlanta - I also have a 68 Datsun Fairlady and she gets her time too). Now, I'm ready to get these on and start driving!
All that aside, I am looking for a good companion adjustable A arm replacement to match the BC coil-overs. I plan to lower the car minimally, but need the adjustment to correct front camber and I think caster anomalies (car has never been wrecked). I like the SPC arms because they offer the most adjustment options. Have also looked at SPC and Cusco. I already have the camber arm adjustment in the rear.
Looking to maximize tire wear and improve road handling while leaving open the option to further lower and adjust for track (VIR). This car is not my daily driver, so I can set it for whichever environment.
Thanks in advance for any and all advice.

Here's the deal, the only A arms on the market that offer any significant positive camber adjustment are the SPL and the SPC. Unfortunately they're fairly expensive. I prefer/run the SPL because they offer more adjustment and install is infinitely simpler. A lot of people have run into issues installing the SPC shims behind the hubs causing ABS issues and lighting up the dash. They are also rock solid being well-made.

Awesome choice, you can make more positive camber adjustments by using the Heim joints at the end of each arm if you need to. Just unscrew them for more positive camber adjustment. Here's a pic to reference what I'm talking about.
