Lower in the rear.....? ATTENTION EIBACH SPORTLINE USERS
I am running Eibach sportline springs on my Z and the rear ended up a slight bit lower then the front. And I did not cut the rear spring perches.
Anyone else come across this with the sportlines?
Here are some pics. Hard to tell in the pics but in person I can notice the difference.
PS also added 25mm wheel spacers.
Going for another alignment soon as the first shop I went to were not experienced enough to get it set up properly.

Got your PM man!
...and, I think you are nuts
The car looks fantastic. With my Sportlines I did not notice my rear lower than the front--HOWEVER, understand that the wheel well is larger on the front to allow for the wheels to turn, so it gives the illusion of the rear being lower than the front because there is a bit more gap.
Another thing too is that the rear of the Z at stock height is very slightly taller than the front; these springs even everything out (which is also accomplished with the spring perch mod when you use other springs).
350z-Jason, I don't know what the OP is running besides the Sportlines, but I am using Tokicos with my Sportlines and SPC front & rear camber arms/toe. I also have my rear fenders rolled; I didn't need to at first, but after settling, alignment and the 25mm spacers, they needed rolling.

For reference, this is my Z with same wheels, same springs and 25r/15f spacers (very similiar setup to yours):
Your stance looks identical to mine, don't you think?
On another note, what camber are you running in the rear? I'm at -1.8, but I may straighten it out a tad and camber the fronts out a bit more; it looks a bit odd to me if they aren't cambered the same amount. I don't think anyone else notices, but I do.

camber arms. the rear ones look like arms, and the front ones look kind of like wishbones.

Thanks moforeynolds for the pic comparison and to others for the replies. Judging by your pictures it looks identical.
Also I am only using rear camber arms and toe bolts.
Front camber 1.98 and toe at .02
Rear camber 2.06 and toe at .04
I have no need for front camber and toe adjustment as the toe is in oem specs and camber is not off enough to worry about. Plus even if I had adjustable front camber I would have set at or near 2 deg to for the better handling and to match the rear.
What is others alignment specs with Eibach sportline springs?
