So I have the SPC rear camber kit with my Z s-tech's, and recently I went to get my car aligned and the tech said pretty much the best he could do was -2.3 ??? He said if he moved it any further it would throw my toe out.... I just bought brand new tires....I dont want to go through them.
What Do I need to do in order to have normal wear??
What front camber kit would you recommend for the front.... I have not had much luck with the SPC front camber kit....

You could try SPL V2 fronts, they offer pretty good adjustment and you don't have to worry about any knocking issues. Build quality is also better than SPC if you ever want to track your car.
But like I said before, you need to go to another shop. The one you're going to sounds completely incompetent. I've never heard of anybody having such problems with an SPC rear camber kit, they are pretty much the standard for these cars. Having issues with the front kit is more understandable, but with the revised arms and a competent suspension shop, there shouldn't be any problems either especially since S-Techs don't exactly dump your car.

I did have a lot of problems with the spc....I do not want an other kit that involves with taking out the hub and plaching shims in them.....
Your saying SPL v2 will give me the alignment that I need with just the A-arms?
I have not had issue with my rear camber...just the front.
Alos I need to find where I can get the abs sensor brackers....any idea?

Be more concerned with toe than camber. Out of spec toe is what really wears the tires more so than out of spec camber.
But if you need or want less negative camber in rears and SPC's toe bolt eccentrics are already maxed out, adding adjustable traction arms (aka: radius rods) will do the trick. That's what I did.
What's your issue with SPC's up front? I have the full kit myself with no issues and all the +/- adjustment I'll ever need with my ~1.25" drop. No ABS light and no A-arm knocking either.
Call SPC directly and order. Don't forget those thin washers for no ABS light issues.

does the thin washers come with the kit or is it something i need to install on my own??
I have the shop tell me they installed everything correctly but we still cant get rid of all of the lights....I'm very agitated
Is there something that the shop supposed to do that they dont know about??
thanks for your help skyline GT

4 very thin small washers came in my original kit in a little plastic bag. They should have use two each side on ABS relocation bracket with ABS sensor per install instructions. You also must be very careful with the ABS sensor itself not to bump it hard or twist it's wire much. They're very sensitive and can be damaged easily.
That whole procedure is in SPC's written instructions.
Talk to SPC and explain what's going on when you order more brackets. They're very helpful over there.
