Default lowering springs and camber arms

Hi, Im looking to get some eibach sportline springs for my Z, I know lowering springs arent the best way to lower a car but its too hold over until I get bag money. I wanted to see if anyone runs these springs and is there any camber issues, I also am thinking about getting spacers with the springs but if the fitment is too hard to get then Im ok with just the springs and camber arms if I need them.

Nothing wrong with springs at all, that's an old notion, as long as they a matched with good shocks you are good.

Oh, WHEEL spacers.... Thought you were referring to spring spacers and its effect on camber (by raising the car back up).

That said, wheel spacers are irrelevant to the need to correct camber and toe.

Generally speaking, lowering the car more than about 25mm will change camber and toe enough to warrant correction through adjustable camber arms in back, FUCA in front, and rear offset bushing or toe arms (if true coilover with removal of spring bucket).

Eibach Sportlines will lower a Z more than 25mm, so for the sake of your tires, recommend adding the adjustables mentioned.
