I'd would definitely sell the Adj. A arms.
because these cars like more front camber, and unless all you're doing is driving straight all day long, an extra 1/2 degree is not going to compromise your tire wear significantly
Ok after researching let me get this straight. Installing tanabe gf210's on any year Z (05 is mine) its advised to install a rear camber kit. Some Z's,though, might not need it? Monitor tire life just to make sure but the rear camber kit should be installed to be safe correct?
Sorry bro i highly doubt your car is in spec. i have the same set-up as you and my tires wore out super quick you need to at least get a rear a arm and toe bolt. they are just trying to give you good advice i would take it unless you like spending money on tires. the rear a rms and toe bolts is necessary the front you can get away with for a while but they will still wear prematurely but not like the rear will.

not every car will need a camber kit; some will, some won't.
Most of our customers tend to buy the camber kit as well so, at a minimum, they can set the left and right side to the same amount. Having uneven camber/toe side to side (where the values on one side can't be made to be the same as the other) can lead to unpredictable handling, and downright twitchy handling characteristics.
As with ANY mod you do, there are no absolutes - I don't care if you're talking about suspension, wheels, tires, or building a 600 whp car. Some cars may be able to get away without any adjustment, or alignment at all - others will be completely out of spec the second they are dropped even a tiny amount. The only way to know for sure is to take the car to a reputable aligntment shop BEFORE you install your suspension, and take accurate measurements of the cars specs pre-lowering. Then after the new items are installed, the car needs to be taken back to the same place, and compare the new specs to old specs, and go from there.

I just came back from yet another alignment after I installed the rear camber arms yesterday.
Front
-1.7L -2.0R camber
0.04L 0.04R toe
8.0L 8.6R caster
-1.6L -1.6R camber
0.07L 0.08R toe (tech said .07L to 08L toe number kept bouncing)
I dont know I have cusco A arms sitting here in my living room still debating whether I should install it or not

I ordered the SPL camber/toe kit but ended up selling it because from my previous alignment I didnt think I needed the toe bolts so I purchased just the camber arms off ebay and honestly they look exactly the same to what intensepower.com sells and I got it off ebay for $74 shipped
