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.

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.

^^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.
