tires still wearing after front spc camber install..what gives?
lowered my car back in 2004 with tanabe springs 1.5" front and 1.0" rear...front tires would wear pretty often..no issues in the rear..installed front spc camber kit back in 2009 and the tires are still going bald on the insides but not as fast as before...
after i installed the camber kit i got it aligned by a performance shop who worked on lowered 350z's and g35's with camber kits before...
so what gives !?!?! could there be something else wrong with my suspension?? any help would be appreciated. thanks

IMO, even with a good alignment, factory specs are a bit broad, with too much toe for good tire wear. Check your alignment, and have them reduce toe a bit more next time. It could be the camber as well.
Beyond that, be sure to get your alignment checked every now and then, not just when you replace the tires.

Alignment shops don't usually touch aftermarket adjustments. It's possible they didn't touch it.
it's also a pita to adjust those SPC arms without disassembling parts. Alligment shops don't normally remove tires to make adjustments even, and that is the Minimum that's necessary to adjust those SPC arms.
Where's your Alligment printout? Is it actually in spec?
It's possible you have a bad component that's causing new issues, but I'd be more likely to suspect that it was never set properly.

Fast forward to 2:00 in this video and you'll see what part is used to set caster/camber. It's in the same spot/same bolt. The ball joint underneath has an offset threaded bolt on top where the large flat nut threads into. You'll notice if you losen it up that the lower part pivots the arm forward and back. That is what sets your caster. Camber just slides in and out.
Hopefully that makes any sense lol. I can try to find pics etc if needed.
You can also adjust camber without having to remove the wheel on the SPC (I think you can on all aftermarket a-arms IIRC). Just need a big ole 27mm wrench
