From what i have seen the KWs will take it so the fender is just over the tire maybe even to the tire (run negative camber)

Typically a performance driven coilover is not going to want you to dump the car as you can start to mess with the cars handling etc. (im sure you all dumped your car on Gran Turismo and it handled like garbage! lol)

That being said, Stance i believe would be a better bet if you want to slam your car to the extreme. Performance wise the KW and HKS would be 2 really good choices that will get you a very aggressive stance while maintaining performance.

Haven't seen anyone post on these...Tanabe SOC's

Tanabe USA R&D Blog | Nissan 370Z Pro-S0C Coilover test

Link shows pics installed at max low and max high. Also not a bad price, MSRP at $999 I think...

Haven't used them before, but I'm searching as I'm planning on buying coilovers soon too.

With being an experienced KW V3 owner on my G37...I LOVE how KW's are....but they literally are riiiiight at the edge of where I want to be. I want the feel and the performance of the KW's...but I need like another 1/2 inch lowerrrr.
