Default Sportline Springs?

hi, i have read many relating threads and just have a few questions and want to confirm some things.

I want to buy Sportline springs for my 03 350z with 19" wheels 245/35/19 front, 275/35/19.

I know this is a good drop and i know im going to need camber kits. I read that front camber kit is not necessary so i should only do the rears. What is the best rear camber kit that will give me the most camber options.

Also, would i need a fender roll? I dont know why people get them (im guessing because of rubbing).

Here are some pics

Im just tired of the large wheel gap i have.

Please help

If your rear wheels/tires are flush or sticking out, you may need to get your fenders rolled after the drop. 275's in the rear may also rub, but it all depends on the offset of your wheels. When it comes to camber kits, you get what you pay for; cheaper kits have weaker bushings, and vice versa.

It doesn't look like it from the pictures, but double checking the offsets would help you

a front camber kit very well may be required - all Z's are not created equal and come with a range of alignment settings from the factory. If yours is on the conservative side, you may get away without a front. If yours is more aggressive from the factory, then a front may be needed.

Rears will certainly be needed with that much of a drop

from experience i would say so save a little more money and buy yourself a coilover kit. if you plan to use springs its gonna cost you about 1000 bucks because your gonna need front and back camber kit, with that alone is about 650 bucks. your springs are around 300 plus alignment another 100 dollars and labor for installation of your not doing it yourself. def over 1k, think about it do your math and choose wisely gl with your car.

Depending on how low he goes, he's gunna need a camber kit regardless of springs or coils...
