@djpathfinder - I have the SPC kit for my 2006 350Z and it works great. I got the first one they ever made for production! Anyway, I hear some knocks from time to time and it's a little annoying. I put H&R springs on that car which, like the 370Z, lowered it 1.3" front and 1.0" rear.

On my new 370Z I want to make it perfect and I would rather NOT wear out my tires prematurely, however, I do want to put Michelin PS2's on it....anyway I digress....I think I will probably get the SPC upper control arms again and the Eibach rear arms, H&R springs and wheel spacers.

I don't know if I need the Eibach Camber Bolt Kit, still trying to get confirmation on that. If you have a look at the creator of this thread you can see some negative camber on the front of the car. The SPC upper control arms will get rid of this for sure and the tires will last longer as a result.

Any replacement tire is going to cost about $300 so it's certainly worth doing....

The SPC front upper control arm adjusts for both camber and caster up front. If you buy the SPC rear camber and toe kit, it comes with a camber arm and toe arm with a set of bolts for each, so you don't have to buy separate bolts. It is preferable to have the camber arm over just the bolts...again, allows for greater control and adjustability. SPL is another company that makes a high quality camber kit as well.

Regarding negative front camber...I have that too...on purpose, to improve turn in response.

That's odd your front left and right camber is so different. I think mine came out to 1.7 and 1.9. I'm assuming when they adjusted toe it brought the camber lower and closer to matching.
