alignment chart, camber kit, and tires...

so i lowered my car ('06 6mt coupe) about 2.5 years ago on 350z espelir gt's.. attached is the alignment chart, which at the time i had assumed was close enough - but after lookin at my front tires recently thats apparently not true. so i was considering the cusco front a-arms... i also saw a kit available for $110 more that has "intense rear camber" kit which i've never heard of.

i wanted to kno if anybody had experience with this, or if i even need the rears (if you look at the attached alignment chart my rear is very close to spec)

also, on a side note - wut yall think about nitto nt05's? its time for new tires and i want to stick with the oem 19 size... i live in southern cali where its mostly dry weather...

I am actually looking into buying front and rear camber kit because I just picked up a new set of coilovers. From my searching I have found the following kits:

SPC - front priced around $350 to $380 and rear $150 to $180 (best bang for buck and a good design for adjustments)

SPL - front priced around $500 (recommended by people on the forum)

Kinetix - front priced around $200ish range and rear $120 - $150(cheaper up have been known to crack at the welds)

Cusco - front priced around $400 and up (adjusted with 6 allen screws {could be the only issue})

Ksport - front priced around $350

Ichiba - front priced around $300


there is a bunch more... I think I am going to buy the SPL's

handling and tire wear are mutually exclusive. Pick one

I would do SPC one of the better brands and not to expensive in comparison to others on the market.

my latest post didn't mention anything about tire wear - my question was "does anybody know what ideal camber settings are for handling?" - i kno some negative camber is good for cornering, but how much negative camber is my question
