Swift Springs , wheel spacers install = HAPPY

Just curious....any idea what your rear camber is at now?
Why I ask is, once the wheel stands up (pokes out more at the top) when the negative camber is reduced a bit when you get an alignment done, will you still want the 25mm spacers?
I know there are a lot of guys here running 25s on the rear and are quite happy, but I just tried a set of 20s on the rear of my car as a test AFTER an alignment to decide what to get and I figured 25s would have too much poke. (for my liking, anyway) The two of us even figured I could even consider 15s before going to 25s. The 20s were perfectly flush at the top. I know everyone has their own opinions, so you might not like what I like, but 25s would have been too much for me.
I put up a post in the Spacers 101 stickie thread under Wheels and Tires, and my pics look just like the ones posted up there. (I took pics on a BB but they were unusable so I deferred to the ones posted a couple posts prior to mine) It was Friday so my post is probably still the latest one.

EDIT....Just went back and looked. The pics of the rear are in post #318 from Bonzo.

I have no idea what my camber is right now. Going in on Friday for alignment and spl rear camber arms, toe bolts and lockout kit. I looked at your threat under the stickes section. Hopefully there won't be too much poke lol. I'll see what happens and keep you updated. Everyone told me to go 25's on the rear with stock 19 inch sport Rays / swift spring drop.

Well...I also read what everyone was saying about running 25s on the rear too, but I'm anal so I decided to see for myself before deciding what to get.
My rear camber went from -1.89 degrees when I went in to -1.69 degrees after the alignment. I had set the SPL arms to as close to the same length as the stock arms when they went on.
I bought one pair of H&R 20s knowing that's what I'd be putting on the front. I test fitted one of the 20s on the left rear Friday to see if I liked it or not. I decided I could not go with 25s.

I really value the opinions of others on here, but when it's my car, my money and I've got to live with it, I sometimes just have to do it my way.
I installed the Swifts, camber arms, toe bolts first. Then I did an alignment and measured to figure out what spacers to get. Measuring wasn't conclusive so I bought a pair of 20s to do a real world test. I went and ordered a 2nd set of H&R 20mm spacers. All four 20s will probably go on next weekend.

I love how the 20s look on the front of your Z. I was concerned whether 20s would be enough on the front. I was thinking you could almost run 25s. Now I figure the 20s are good to go. I was concerned about rubbing with the 25s.

Geez...the more I look at your before and after pics, the more I think the before pics make the Z look like a Donk or even a 4 X 4. I'm not a huge fan of the newer Sport wheels either but they look SO much better with the drop on the Swifts and the spacers.

Looks good Evil.
