thank you, i think i will do that, any negative effects of doing this/ future issues? thanks!

I left mine in because I figured that metal against metal = wear. At least I'm thinking that is what that hard rubber mount is there for, if not the engineers won't put it in there...

Just my thoughts.

You can also do the springmount mod, cutting it down. There is a diy on the 350z forum. I prefer having more wheel gap in the rear, gives it a more agressive look.

Yeah I also think that the car being level does not look as good. You want it higher in the rear; gives it a meaner stance. Plus if you have to put something heavy in the hatch, it can handle it. (or a fat gf) lol

I looked on H&R's website and they don't list the wheel spacers. How much were they? did they require different lug nuts for the stock Sport Package wheels on the 370? Do you have part numbers or know a place I can call to purchase the wheel spacers? Lastly, you said 15 mm front does not rub, any issues since installing?

Thanks in advance for your answers!

Are the camber arms required on the rear to get the car back to factory alignment? I was going to have the springs and +15 spacer front and +20 spacer rear.

Can the factory alignment be reached without the control arms front/rear? If not, what is absolutely needed?

Get the spacers that have longer replacement studs (DRS). That is a requirement for the front...the other ones (DRM) will not work up front. You will NOT need different lug nuts.

Spacers will add more negative camber and therefore take it further out of spec. You will need camber kits front and back to adjust back to within normal spec. Our stock front upper control mount has no adjustment for camber or caster at all.

Yea, I have the front upper control arms for my 350Z and that made a difference for sure.

So what you are saying is I will need adjustable arms for the front and rear of the car to get the tires to wear properly if I decide to do spacers and lower the car?

According to Stillen's website it is the DRS that I will need, front and rear...
