So if SPC isnt a good kit what other choices do we have other than OEM, because SPC seems to be popular and competitively priced. Eibach, Ive heard has SPC stamped on there camber kits. So is STILLEN the best option? Much more expensive but maybe safer for us to use?

no one ever believes me when i tell them toe kills tires when camber doesnt. imagine if you are extremely toed in... the whole tire would be force to come in contact with the pavement. now imagine if you are extremely cambered out, only oneside of the tire would come in contact with the pavement, when it beings to wear unevenly just flip the tires...
as for the op, im glad youre safe!
im dropped on coils not even that low maybe like eibachs or a little lower and i have -1.1Driver -1.6passenger which isnt anything horrible at all. im sure the aftermarket front camber kits arent necessary unless you want to dial in or something
as for the rears, im considering the spl camber and toe links, anyone with any experience? spl is very reputable in all the other forums.

Camber definitely does not kill tires as fast as toe. Completely agree with you. But with excess camber, you're still not getting the full potential life out of the tires. I know you guys are all ballers, but poor students like me dont have money to buy tires every 15k-20k miles.
SPL are well made products. However, youre likely to get more noise out of them. They are made with ball bearing joints and sometimes make noise, especially after some miles on them. They are designed for track cars and dont necessarily work as well for a daily driver.
And for the price of the SPL camber arms, you can chew through a set of nice tires.

After my recent accident, toe could no longer be brought back in spec and the tires went downhill pretty fast -- i was rotating every 1k until the Eibach arms went in. Now back in spec all around and the tires are slowly wearing back to normal.

You should take them off. The SPC arm is a half-**** front camber solution IMO. It wasn't even designed for the G37 (assuming you are using what is being shipped as G37 application), it just happened to fit..up to a point. I took off my set, and about to take rear off. No offense to others that use it, but imagine that part failing at freeway speeds....
Whether they cover it or not isn't the issue IMO. It's the failure that concerns me.

the spc kit we use was originally made for the g35. they did not even bother making another one for the g37. sucks cause Im lowered and had no other option besides spc for the front, going a lil fast over dips causes the a arm to come whack against my car body in the wheel well.
lets hope spl eventually comes out with a proper fitting good quality kit

Nope purely OEM, I had my toe adjusted to 0.1 on each corner but my camber's at -2.3ish on each side
