Default Anyone seen Stillens camber adjustment rods?

This is quoted from a website, "STILLEN just released the perfect rear camber solution for lowered 350Z and G35 Sport Coupes. If you have lowered either, your rear camber is off and the best solution for the correct suspension setup is STILLEN's New Rear Camber Adjusters complete with Rod-ends. Designed for race precision adjustments and long service life, these rear camber adjusters are equipped with semispherical rod-ends that allow incredibly controlled rear suspension travel & predictable response. " My question is if this kit brings traction rods. From my understanding you need traction rods to bring the rear camber back to spec after dropping more than 1". I attached a pic:

I emailed Stillen early last week and never got a response. Guess I'll have to call them and see what's up. It will probably be overpriced like most of their stuff.

Hot f*ckin' damn, they're like 500 dollars! Jesus! I was hoping something like that would be a little cheaper...I'd love to go with Stillen, but I am hoping another reliable company offers an alternative. Does anyone know of an alt?

Is rear camber rod even needed on the Z?

I am running a -2 degree rear camber right now, I was almost on a -3 degree rear camber before my alignment. If the Z stock suspension can adjust camber up to -3 degree...why would you need camber rod?

Is it to push the rear camber back to 0? I thought you want to run some rear camber on the car anyways. The front have about half of degree of negative camber, that is the part that need adjusting. The only one that got anything for the Z is the Esprit front camber (we got the same suspension as the Skyline GT-R), and that piece of metal cost $1K.

Oh, the reason i am running 2 degree rear camber is I needed that in order to my tires to clear the fender. And that is after rolling it also. Long Story.

for good alignment that won't wear your tires prematurely, yes...they are needed if you lower the car.

I don't have the spec sheet with me but the max negative camber shouldn't be more then -1.3 I believe, preferably about
- .5
