Post 350Z Rear Toe & Camber Arms

Good Morning Ladies and Gentleman,
I am new to the 350Z world and i have been doing lots of research in order for me to lower my car properly.
I have read the Suspension 101 Sticky and that was very helpful. I wanted to put out a post to get your opinions on which arms to run in the rear.
From the research that I have done it seems that the community likes to have adjustability nuts located in the center of the arm instead of having them near the subframe. (seems to be a pain in the *** to get a wrench in there that would fit.
Kintetix Racing is probably the only one as of right now that I found. But I have also found SPC to have these arms as well but for some reason when I google it they don't have the adjustability in the middle.
I would like to make it clear that this car is strictly a street car, I will not be drifting it. Car will be getting BC coilovers and LMGT4s 18" spec.

Any recommendations for rear traction and camber arms would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Any of the arms are easy to get a wrench on, and are much better than the Ecentric bolts

I will be swapping the ecentric bolts with fixed washers and zinc hardware. Do you have a company that you would recommend. I read the sticky like i said and I just noted that it may be hard to get to the adjustment bolts due to the subframe. Again, I am new to this platform.

You’re overthinking it.

As terrasmak said, all of them are easy and accessible.

You mentioned going with coilovers. Would recommend if they’re true coilovers, do the toe arms same time when you lose the spring buckets, skipping the eccentric.

I run SPC camber arms and eccentric with traditional shocks/springs, static, no complaints.

Do I have to use eccentric bolts or could I run the oem bolts until I order some ?

Not a huge deal. Just run them until the insides of the tires wear out. But seriously, just get your order in and don’t push the car until you get the toe corrected.

Haven't a clue. Sold my last 33 nearly two years ago. Can't imagine new owner would have any issues as my last alignment was just before sold and all was fine.

SPC is very common in the aftermarket world.
I've had SPC front uppers on my car for 12k miles / 2 years without issue.

SPC camber arms have been on my '03 track model for going on 23 years. They're well-made and durable. As Mic says, don't overthink this.
