So these types of arms will work fine with coilovers, and help reduce my tire wear, correct? That is basically all I need to know.

Re: (carreragt7)
yes and yes.
The more you lower your car the more your rear wheels will toe (out!?) lol I can never get my in/out straight.
If you look at my car's wheels from the rear they look like this: /------\

They look extremely similar to the SPC arms. NAPA could be retailing the brand.
The more you lower, the more you'll have negative camber (wheels tilted towards the inside of the car up top). That's good for handling, but terrible for tire wear. Think of an F1 car that corners like a dream but you can measure tire life in minutes. The adjustable upper control arms allow you to set your camber in the rear. There is no factory supplied adjustment for this.
I lowered my car and installed the SPC arms in the last week. According to today's alignment, it caused a toe-out condition up front. My car was ready to turn no matter what! Unfortunately, that's bad for highway crusing and tire wear. I just hope the alignment stays true when I put 80-100lbs in the trunk tomorrow!
Sub box and amp plus 20lb of dynamat and all the factory junk:
