Cusco A-Arms
If I were to buy cusco A arms and pair them up with my hotchkis springs (I'm not sure if this was possible.. correct me if wrong)
Could I get rid of my tire feathering?
I was just asking because I had heard of the Cusco A Arms from another thread I created and had my alignment done at Firestone where the tech said he couldn't adjust my FRONT camber because there is no adjustment. I take it out for a drive, growl is still there...I am just guessing if I got something to allow the tech to adjust front camber, then it would get rid of this tire growl?

there is no way to determine how much correction you can or will get.....it is all dependant on where you are starting off from. Different cars with different mods will allow for different correction levels. Wheel offset, and specific tire dimensions have everything to do with your before/after results, as do your ride height
The easiest cure for the feathering is getting different tires

Will the Cusco A-Arms installed and adjusted get rid of tire feathering too though? When you say get different tires, that will only mean the tire feathering sound will still come back... wouldn't it?

dsk- is there vibration along with the growl? You might just need the wheels balanced. Or tires replaced. If it's the s03's then the noise is natural.

maybe brake pads are going out?
sorry, I didn't mean replacing the tires just because of feathering. I mean replace the tires if they are really low on tread. I guess you already checked tire pressure too.

ok sorry I ran out of suggestions.
I just replaced the rotors and pads on my brembos at 41k miles. The inner pads were down to the metal while the outside still had some pad left.
good luck with resolving the tire growl. It seems to be natural on bridgestones though, even on my bike tires I have a lot of feathering with Bridgestone BT012 and bt014s.
