need recommendation on camber kit

my mom has a stock '05 g35 coupe and a couple of months ago i ordered her new tires. well only after a few thousand miles, the front tires are cuppling(again). i've had to deal with this issue for years. the last time i looked into a camber kit for the car, there wasn't much available years ago. however, now i see that there are quite a few companies offering these kits.

can you guys give me your recommendation on what's the best camber kit out there that will get the car aligned to specs that will help avoid tire cuppling? the car is stock height. the rear tires wear pretty good, but the front is another story.

Considering your mother's G is not lowered, the treadwear problem is most likely related to worn suspension component(s). Don't waste $ on camber arms.

Quick explanation

this has been an issue since new. it would either wear the inside of the tire or cupper. i've had numerous alignments done and they would always tell me that the factory doesn't allow enough adjustments to fix this issue. after the stock struts wore out, i upgraded to tokico adjustable. however, it's got about 70-80k on it now so maybe it's time to get new struts again.

i guess i'll have to take a closer look at all the components underneath.

Take your G to an independent brake/alignment shop and have the suspension checked out, you have other issues rather than adjustable a-arms. If you're not lowered you shouldn't need em....Gary

A dedicated shop will be able to figure out the route of the problem. If the car isn't lowered camber arms are not going to help.
