Updated pic 24.75F/25.25R and all alignment measurements are back in factory spec. No more abnormal tire wear for me.

Here's the skinny:

225/40/19 on 19X8.5 +23(15mm spacer)
245/40/19 on 19X9.5 +33(5mm spacer)

Front SPL A Arms (can add up to 2.5 deg positive camber)
Rear Stillen camber arms/SPC toe bolts

Yes you need both F&R camber kits and the rear toe bolts (or toe arms if you have true coils) to get back to factory specs on the alignment. My F&R kits weren't cheap but well worth not burning through tires once a year, I drive almost 20K/yr for work.

All on Tanabe Pro5 coilovers, super comfortable ride but maxed out here with one collar removed F&R

That's awesome man, any version of the SPL arms are hard to come by used. Nothing wrong with the V1s though, you shouldn't have any issues selling those quickly.

I got the Stillen rear camber arms hella cheap as well, new they're over $400 and I paid less than half of that for a used set in great condition. Can not wait to see your ride up and running.

Yea I have the front v1s sold. The price on the rears isn't that bad so may just buy new and sell my rear v1s. The twins are all in. Last few couplers are on the way this wk to replace all the blue ones. Just need to drop in the fuel pump and wire my guages then off to the tuner

Dunno too much about the Kinetix, but I haven't really heard good things about their camber arms. I'd stick primarily with SPC, SPL, and Cusco. Can't go wrong with any of those. For the rears, I'd suggest looking into the Battle Version. Ever since running them I highly recommend them since you can easily get different links to run whatever your camber needs are. Pricewise, they're very affordable brand new.

The first version of kinetix sucked. The new version are ok and priced for it. Spl and spc are different. Spl retail for 600 and spc 350 I believe. I'm sticking with spl as with my bags I will blow the bushings out with all my suspension travel

U won't finde used spls too often and if u do they are still 450-500. Spcs aren't too bad and typically u can find used sets for 250 or so. The kinetix I have aren't too bad and pretty simple design. I know a few track guys that use em. Just depends on how much u wanna spend.

^^To add to the SPL/SPC info, to me the ease of installation of the SPL and the fact they don't have the rubber bushing Stephen mentioned are what pointed me in that direction. The SPLs bolt right up like the factory A arms, and with the SPC you have to take off the wheel, rotor, and hub to mount their spacer back there then replace all that ****. It also uses a cheap plastic ABS sensor bracket you have to install to keep the proper air space around the sensor so it doesn't light up your dash. Lots of members have had issues with these arms on the install, and we have a local guy that took several shops and a few months to find someone who could fix his issues with the SPC.

That kind of piece of mind is well worth $100 extra for me and the SPLs will never wear out like the SPCs. You might have to eventually replace the bearings where they mount to the frame, but that's cheap and easy to do.

If I had to make this decision all over again I wouldn't even think about it, SPL all day long. Here's a pic of them, these are the V2s.



SPL also offered me a free upgrade kit to the V3 parts that had bigger bearings, heads, and heim joints, some comparison pics.
