Front Control Arms
From Nissan 350Z & 370Z Wiki
Front control arms (aka A-Arms, wish bones, etc..) control the camber angle of the front tires on the Nissan 350Z. In a racing environment it may be desirable to increase the negative camber angles (i.e. make the tires lean in at the top) to improve cornering traction. On the other hand, a 350Z lowered with springs or coilovers may need to decrease the negative camber to improve tire wear.

The quality of these arms is excellent. However, before ordering I didn't realize these are designed to increase camber rather than correct camber after lowing your 350Z. Increasing camber will increase handling, but sacrifice tire wear. These do have a 1/2 degree of positive camber adjustment, but I modified mine to achieve a +1 degree of adjustment. It needs to be noted there is a limit on the amount of + camber adjustment due to the inner fender. If you are comfortable cutting and hammering anything can be done.
