I went with SPC as well. It's a solid piece and offers plenty of adjustment.

I don't see why a shop wouldn't align a lowered car unless they just can't get it on their alignment rack.

Battleversion is the most durable and easy to adjust as of now. If you have a true coilover setup in the rear, I would suggest the Battleversion Toe bolts as well. If BV is too rich for your blood, the other stuff mentioned already will do the trick.

Been discussed thousands of times in tons of threads

The short answer, and best answer is "it depends" - here is why:

The cars come with a variety of camber settings for the front and rear from Nissan. There is a range that is factory acceptable. So 2 cars can have different alignment settings from the day they are new. If car A is on the conservative side of the the factory acceptable settings, and you lower it, it may still be in spec. Car B might be on the more aggressive side of the range when new, and once lowered, is now out of spec. Car A may not need a camber kit front or rear, car B might. Only way to know is to measure camber before and after lowering to see where you fall. Even if the car is in spec, an aftermarket camber kit for front and/or rear may still be desirable depending on your uses for the car, or to ensure that the settings are equal between left and right.

The short rule of thumb, and this is very generally speaking - if you lower the car more than an inch front or rear, plan on buying at least a rear camber/toe kit. If you are planning on approximately a 1.25 inch drop or more, then also adding front adjustable a arms, in addition to the rear camber/toe kit is a good idea as well.

As far as which to get, it's user choice as there are tons of options out there geared around a variety of budgets, uses for the car, etc.
