Default Swift springs + fast intention exhaust clearance

2013 touring sports Z, i recently ordered my fast intention non resonated exhaust.

If i add swift springs with my fast intention exhaust , my clearance would still be good right ?
What else do i need besides the springs for a safe ride and not wearing and tearing my tires / suspension ? ( front and rear camber kits ?) if so can you please tell me which ones will be the best ?

- thank you, I really don't know much about camber kits and arms etc but i don't want any problems down the road with my swift springs.

Your clearance will be fine, swift springs don't drop you too much so if you were to get a good alignment after the spring swap you should be able to get within oem specs with a small change in camber. However camber kits/adjustable arms are a good investment just to be able to have adjustability in the future regarding suspension changes.

I'm only planning on adding swift springs, no future suspension changes will be made. so just swifts will be fine ?

After it settles. About 3 1/2 - 4 inches. Its lowest point is just behind the axle. Just go straight when driving over speed bumps. In other words, don't let your rear tires straddle speed bumps and you will be fine.

Yep, you will be fine. I do however have the outside of the front wheels wear more, my current alignment has the front wheels at -1.5 degrees, ideally I would like to be at -2.5 degree in the front. Rears are at -2.5 which is perfect for tire wear
