Hey guys,
There is a bunch of good reading there. What I need help with is this, I have the sport package and I'm getting ready to call Josh from Stillen to order my springs and spacers. I'm going with 15 in the front but I'm not sure what to do for the rear. I do not what the tire past the wheel well, I want it tucked in so should I go with the 20's or the 25's. Thanks for the help.

Mike · 12-13-2009, 02:33 PM

My 25s work nicely. I would get them again

what sizes did you end up going with?

ZForce · 12-18-2009, 01:34 AM

15mm - front & 25mm - rear. Josh@Stillen took care of me with H&R spacers. Thanks a bunch Josh, they arrived today.

tcarretti · 12-18-2009, 07:34 AM

batman_4.

Are you putting these spacers on a Touring only or Touring + Sport? I've been thinking about these, but only have the touring and didn't know if they would work correctly with the stock 18's. If you are in San Antonio, I'd like to get a look at them once you get them installed so it would be easier to decide. Also, are you going to do them yourself or are you going to have them done at a shop?

Sorry for all the questions....

Tony

Awesome.. good to hear. Post some pics when you get them on..

tcarretti · 12-18-2009, 12:11 PM

Thanks batmann!

I too would like to thank Josh@Stillen for the outstanding price on my springs and spacers. I held off on the rear spacers because I have one more question. If I go with the 25mm spacer in the rear will I need to change the camber arms to get the camber close to the original specs. If I go with the 20mm spacer can I avoid this, keeping in mind that I will also be dropping it with the Eibach's. Thanks for the help, gotta love the forum!

I think I have the same question an Tommyguns. I have a 10mm rear spacer and I'm going to put those spacers on the front and put 20mm on the rear and I already think my rear tires/wheels look like the tops are "sunk in" It's a little hard to describe but it looks like the top needs to be pushed out. Is that camber? Is there much adjustment there? How are other 370z's with spacers keeping there wheels/tires looking perfectly vertical. Please let me know if I am not making any sense? I appreciate all your help!

tcarretti · 12-18-2009, 02:01 PM

So will the 15mm up front and the 25mm in the rear work with the stock touring 18's?

austex · 12-18-2009, 02:58 PM

anyone have experience with the eibach spacers? They seem to be hubcentric, come in all the sizes, but I wonder how deep the flange is on these compared to the H&Rs?

anyone?

This should answer the camber questions, borrowed from a vendors thread with Eibach Pro-Kit specs with OEM set up and camber after install of Eibachs.
