I want to thank everybody for their input on this. I have to replace my original arms on my 2004. The Nissan dealer was recommending the Kinetix as well. Now I have to go visit the only guy allowed to work on my car.

Hey, i just bought theses arms too and i was figuring if it's normal that the BIGGGG nut just under the aluminum cone doesn't fit well on the bolt thread ? It only makes 2-3 turn on the thread...! Did you have the same problem ? How went the installation ? I'm kinda afraid that the nut will just go away when i'll ride my z... Thanks !

I'm looking to get camber kits for both front and rear but I'm a little confused about these.
How do you adjust them when the wheels are put back on? Do you have to remove the stud in lower part of the ball joint out of the linkage to adjust how much camber correction you have?
If not would somebody mind explaining how you do so?
I'm mainly asking so that if the alignment shop doesn't know how I can show them.

The alignment guy will have to unbolt it at the bottom, unhook it and then turn until the desired alignment is achieved. I'm sure someone more technical can explain it better than I can. You may have to adjust it yourself before taking it in for an alignment because some places will charge extra for having to do the extra work of adjusting those front arms since it is more work than just turning a bolt or two.

Thanks for the quick responses.
So I was also checking out the SPLs, and I know they're a lot more expensive, but seeing as they're the slider style, the alignment shop wouldn't have to do anything extra to adjust them right? They would just need to jack up the car to adjust right?

I have the Kinetix and the best lube I have found is the silicon super lube. You can get in small or large grease gun tubes. I have tried other types of grease from regular bearing grease to super tacky lucas bearing grease. None stay put as long as the superlube silicon grease. Unfortunately it is a lot more than straight grease.

It is very straight forward and not hard to do. It only takes 5-6 minutes to remove the nut and make the adjustment.

Before I purchase them, these here are the V2's correct?
