Wow that's huge price difference. I am interested in finding out, hopefully someone will chime in. You may want to post this also in the coupe forum and my350z.com because I think all three cars use the same chamber arms.
The Stillen is better engineered and so are the 350evo arms.
I believe they offer more range for adjustment compared to Kinetix solution.
The Kinetix solution doesn't offered a threaded adjustment to dial in camber, they use Spacers(Washers).
So if you have to adjust camber you have to take off the ball joing assembly off and add or take off a washer to dial in camber.
Spc is coming out with a Front Camber Solution comparable to Stillen and 350Evo arms by the end of July but at the price of what the Kinetix arms will cost you.
I have also been looking for a Front Camber Solution and will wait for SPC to release theirs before making a commitment.

Are you guys looking to dial in your camber for a performance benefit or to save on tire life? In terms of tire life, on all the lowered cars I've owned, the correct toe was WAY more important then camber. These are for cars that were dropped 1.5" - 2.5"

They removed them from their website because so many people were buying them and then finding out that none were available.

If you only drive 6500 miles a year I would not spend the money on a kits. The tire savings would not make up for the price of the kits and install.
The SPC kit seems to be good. I was looking on ebay and they are selling for $219 plus shipping. Also Import Auto Performance has them for the same price. Is there any new updates from anyone about the SPC kit. Pricing is good.
I was alos looking at the TCsportline camber kit on ebay. Heres the LINK. It looks nice and it has the teflon pillowball joint that people say gives some better suspension responce. Not sure that the crome finish would hold up though.

I used the kinetix upper control arms for the front and the SPC control arms for the rear w/ the toe bolts. Dropped the car on Tein S-techs and all the numbers are back to spec. I don't know why people have such a problem with the kinetix upper control arms? I installed them myself, and just eyeballed the setting, and then brought it in, and the guy doing my alignment was surprised that everything was already pretty much to spec. He just had to do some minor tweaking to my toe settings. I don't think you can beat the price and they offer a larger degree of adjustability than some of the pricier kits.
also, you don't add any washers to the kinetix arms for adjusting??? it's a threaded adjustment...
