Default newb suspension question (w/pics)

i am really wanting to lower the Z. Of course i found things when i searched but i feel like it wasnt specific enough for me. my wheels 245/35zr19 and 275/35zr19. I am really looking for just springs right now. I am afraid i will run into camber issues and everything. i want a nice tucked look and i was wondering if spacers would help??

thanks

if you don't want to deal with camber or rubbing I recommand s-tech; however, you won't get tucked in look.
you will most likely need to change camber and roll the fender if you want wheels to be tucked in.

Did you buy your Z new or used? To me it looks likes it's been lowered already, especially the rear.
