Default Eibach sportlines?

I was looking into getting some lowering springs for the Z and not sure what to go with i have 19/10.5 +12 offset rears and 19/9.5 +12 offset fronts i have already rolled the fenders just dont know if the sportlines will be too low, where i live isnt exactly forgiving to lowered cars but i want something to look and feel a difference and sit flush with the wheels plus the car has 75,000 miles on it and still on stock struts as well so will prolly be upgrading them very shortly as well and with new struts will it raise the car up seeing how the oem ones are worn down?

They're not too low. You should be fine with those tire sizes since you already have your fenders rolled.

oh and one more thing, a rear camber kit would prolly be good to get as well right? i heard if it lowers the car over 1.5 inches itll throw the camber out of factory specs just dont want to be eating the tires up

Sportlines aren't low at all. Should be perfect if you want that "low but not too low" look.

a camber kit is usually recommended. some have said they didn't need one, but most say to get a camber kit.

Sportlines will require a rear camber/toe kit - Eibach also make sa very nice kit for this purpose, that works well and is affordable. A front kit isn't mandatory at this point with what you're trying to achieve

Some of the aftermarket struts are a bit shorter vs stock - Sportlines are not a spring you want to run on stock shocks with 75k miles.
