Cusco Front A-arms
I have searched and searched and can't seem to find the definitive answer on how much adjustment range for positive camber on the Cuscos. Any other ideas on how to fix excessive neg camber in the front??

They really didn't make any revisions to the alignment specs. What they thought would help eliminate some of the tire feathering was to make sure the toe settings were no more then .01 in the front.
I have a G35c with Cusco front arms, 9'' +31 SSR wheels, H-Tech springs on the front and 245/40-18 tires. I was very disappointed to learn that the minimum negative camber we could get was -.9. I was wanting to get .5 negative. If I would have known this limit I would not have purchased the arms. The photos appear to have lots of adjustment, but it is in the range of about .9 to 3.5 negative. Good for the track but not good for the toll road. Evo told me they can get .5 negative with their arms and now that I see how they are designed I believe them. I might have my Cusco arms modified.

there will be no measurable difference in tire life whatsoever between .5 degrees and .9 degrees. Most important thing for tire wear is toe, not camber. As long as camber is within spec and tire pressure is where it should be, you'll get very good tire life.
I just removed a set of T1S's I had on my car (installed them at 3000 miles or so, car now has 32,500). Front camber was -2 degrees, rear is -3 as the car sits. That's a fair bit out from stock and I still got (what I would consider to be) excellent tire wear

So basically we have no way of getting camber +1 degree? Even with the nice as hell 350 evo arms we get less than that ?
no I never rotated tires side to side.....lol.....camber was withint .02 degrees on both sides on my car, so would not have been much point 
these arms are designed to give you some amount of positive movement for cars that are lowered. Obviously the lower the car is, the more camber you will have as a result. My own car is dropped about 2 inches up front and I was able to dial camber back to -1.5 degrees. Yes that is slightly more than stock, but that was of zero consequence to me. Even with camber that further out of stock (pre A arms, pre alignment), I still got 30k out of my front tires. I can only expect tire life to increase now with the addition of these a arms, though I don't suspect it will be by much - a .5 degree in camber is next to nothing in terms of an overall change for a street driven car. I have not really driven the car much with the a arms yet due to the weather. Once I pick new tires for this year I'll take it out, see how I like the front and -1.5, and tweak from there.
