do I need a camber kit??
Let me give you the background (as I was told) by the seller. I just bought a '03 350z. the seller says it is lowered 2in, he didn't specify front or rear. He states that he has replaced the control arms which will fix the tire wear problem. The car has new rear tires but the front two need to be replaced because they have severe wear on the inside of the tires. From what I read if you lower it you better put a camber kit on it or the tires will get eaten up as fast as you can put them on. so does all this sound correct? point me in the right direction. Can I add this kit and get it aligned and will be good? its just a daily driver. Front tire size 225/40/18.

SPL fronts are WELL worth the money...just make sure you bend the damn pinch weld thingy above them or you're gonna wind up smashing up your shiny new arms (don't ask how I know -.-).
The kit you buy entirely depends on your use; I drift and autox, so I had to go with heavier arms. If you just street drive/show it then you don't *need* SPC or SPL, but I still recommend them.
You said he replaced some components. I say get up under there and take some pics and we can tell you if they've been replaced.

Ive seen people on the forums buy eBay camber arms and said they were fine. If you're worried about it, spend a few couple hundreds bucks for a peace of mind. Or see if there's used ones around.
Those look a lot like the Megan Racing camber arms. A knock off of a budget-minded product sounds pretty much like a terrible idea...
As far as needing a camber kit, check to see what control arms you have. If the owner said he replaced the control arms, you might already have a camber kit
