Best A-arms and rear toe setup
All, I have read and read over the threads dealing with the subject. I'm looking in investing into new a-arms and and toe for my 03 sedan. My vehicle is lowered on tein basics, 2" f and 1.75" r. I got the hotchkis sways and I am running 19x8.5 ADRs all around with some brand new BF Goodrich KDW2s. I saw all the worn insides of my last set of tires and decided to invest in the kits to prolong tire life. Now my question is, which ofeers the better setup offered or a combination of the below as well. Your help is greatly appreciated.
1) Stillen
2) 350Evo
3) Kinetix
4) Cusco
Money is not an issue and i want to get my ride back to factory specs or as close as i can get them. I just had my alignment done today and mounted the new rims and tires a week ago. I stayed with 19" wheels from my old set.

i had the kinetix front a-arms(first batch) when i had s-techs on my sedan.....it brought it back to oem specs, no inner tire wear...........however, it starting to creak and moan after about 3-4 months....found out later it was "dry" in the ball joint area(ouch)........heard kinetix have a new version now....hope this helps.

I'm in the same boat. After countless ours of research, I have decided to go with Stillen A-Arms and Stillen Rear Camber Arms. Toe arms won't fit since I'm using cup springs in the rear and I don't think I need anything for the toe anyways.
Cusco doesn't have enough positive adjustability. Kinetix is just cheap s*** and I have only heard great things about 350EVO ones but I just prefer to match the front and rear.

it's balancing act...get it back to oem specs and performance will not be enhanced as with a little camber......besides, don't we want to corner a little better than the oem setup? I do and decided to go with an 05 Z suspension and haven't done alignment yet, on for about 1 month now......will just make sure
toe is correct rather than worrying too much about camber....I'll swithc front tires side to side at about 15-20k miles to even out if need be....

I have kinetix front arms on my 03 G35c. The only thing that sucks about these is you have to remove the arm from the upper part of the spendle to adust them.. Other than that i have 350z tein h techs and with a good alignment they are perfect for the amount of money spent... I would buy these again if i had to... But if money isn't an object = duh get the 350evo's of course..

All thanks so much for all the replies and help. I think i will go with the evos up front and the stillen rear setup. I guess i better get on it soon so i might have a nice christmas present.
Kenchan, as far as the ADRs, I really like the way they look and the price was really good on them, i just couldn't turn them down. The tire wear i am concerned about because the way i drive, i don't drive so aggressive that i need to replace tires every 6000 miles, i would like to get a little more out of them say 10-12k so by getting the proper settings they should last that long.
Again all, thanks for the recommendations and happy holidays to all.

Dont get ripped off!!!!!!!!
For those of you who didnt purchase the SPC camber arm and Toe bolt kit this is for you:
SPC Camber/Toe bolts cost $90 - $100: http://www.iapdirect.com/item.asp?invid=785
Heres the same bolts for $25: http://www.prosuspension.com/produc...products_id=439 (One kit adjusts both rear wheels)
add $5 for shipping. I ordered mine 2 minutes ago.
I couldnt believe 2 bolts, 4 washers, and 2 nuts could cost $100.
