Default help with springs and rear camber choice

Hey I have been searching for a while on here and some other forums etc about lowering my Z. First Ill give you what I have, then I guess what I am looking for and then what I have found and learned..(the suspension sticky was awesome)

I have 05 with 20x10.5 (295/25/20) rears and 19x9.5 (245/35/19) up front

I have about 1.75" in the rear and 1" in the front space from fender to tire, I am not sure the offset b/c I bought these rims used but if looking straight down from the fender to the street the rear lines up with the fender does not stick out and the front is "in" the fender.

I have read alot of mixed post on this subject some people said no problems rubbing, some had to roll, some had vdc issues some had none? can I expect vdc issues with lowering?

If I dont have to roll the fenders would be great but very aware I may have to no matter what.... Some people have said they run the tanabe nf210( this looks to mellow for me) if I wouldnt have to roll great but if I have to roll any way would go with a diff set up. So far alot that I have seen still do the cut mod with all the tanabee and tein s-techs.. I dnt want to have to mod anything what set up should I go with Eibach sportlines


thats the springs

as for the rear camber... so far everyone has said this will be needed as tires are hella expensive I would rather just do everything at once then finally get my allignment.

what cambers????

I have read(on here) the difference with the bushing compared to the rod type. I will not be tracking the car shes my dd so comfort up noise down. So I believe a set up with bushing would be the best. my ??? is how noise is the rod type? how much weaker is the bushing type? I have only found the ICHIBA set to be the bushing kind. I can get with the toe bolt for 115.. the rod kind ( not sure if godspeed a rep company for like 60$) and spc for around 200 but did not specify what kind they were.

hope you guys can help. I searched as much as I could before asking

The springs you choose are up to you.
I've heard good things about both Tanabe springs. NF and GF.

I can almost guarantee that you're going to need both camber adjustments in the rear and the front. The rear camber rods run ~150? The front's are a lot more expensive which can cost anywhere between 300-500.
Everyone's car is different. That's why there are mixed posts on wether or not you need camber arms.

I've seen vendors who sell a combo of both camber arms for the front and rears.

Hope this helps.

thanks for the reply... Yea deff going with the rear camber right away and hopefully sneak around the fronts for a little depending on how it rides. my question about the rears camber is what kit to go with. the suspension sticky says 2 different- 1 is a rod type (for strength and track but noise other is for comfort and eliminate noise) wanted to know how much noiser the rod type is as they are half the price.

the springs I understand all different and up to me. just hoping to get some feed back with 20" rims in the rear ( i believe my tire size and offset kept the gap close to stock)

also I would not have chose 20" rear 19" front. needed tires and these rims and tires cost me less then getting just tires I would have gone 19 rear 18 up front

can anybody add to this please would really like to place the order tonight or early am.

to clear up.
not sure the difference of tien h and S as well as tanabee nf210 or gf210
i believe the rear sits lower then the rear
eibach pro kit is same all around and the sportline is just more agressive

question if the prokit looks the same as the tien and the tanabee ill go with one of those as they are less expensive

as well as the questions I had about having to roll the fenders

an if anyone has any input on the rear cambers would help this point think ill go with the ichiba's can get for 115 shipped and they have the rubber bushing

Just get the SPC kit for the rear, simple and easy. Godspeed is crap, and Ichiba is know to have bushing failures.
