Default Lowering on Ebiach SportLine springs on stock rims/stock suspension

Hey guys, always been a lover of this forum and its my turn to for answers.
My 2003 Nissan 350z keeps asking me to lower her on Sportline ebiach lowering springs with feature a end result of 1.7" to 2.3" drop.

My question : if I only upgrade my suspension by lowering springs am I going to wear my tires down extremely fast

With stock shocks and struts am I going to cause them to fail because a lot of people say its okay to use stock shocks and struts but they will last a shorter life time but not severe.

Camber kits ? Some say yes. Some say no

Will I need to roll my fenders?

I have stock 03 rims with Yokohama sport low profile tires 245/40r/18 front and 275/35r/18 rears

Car is stock.

You will need front upper control arms and rear camber arms at a minimum.

Stock upper control arms do not allow for camber adjustment that you will need, just premature tire wear will happen

Dropping that much, yes front a rear camber arms. You should pick up a set of toe bolts as well. You shouldn't need to roll your fenders.. I have 285 with a 22 offset and they were rubbing oh so lightly.
