I have been thinking of doing the Z1 rear traction/camber arms. not sure what to do for the front if anything? A little context for this as well, my end goal for the car is all about performance, so I am not trying to slam the sh!t out of my car for looks but I just don't want it to look goofy while I wait for funds for wheels and tires. any suggestions would be great (spacers, camber arms, front or rear?) Thanks!

Agreed. For the time being though, I would focus on getting the alignment in check, post install. You will need FUCA and at the least rear camber arms. If you go too low, you may need endlinks F/R and toe items (toe arms or mid links depending on if you go true coilovers or a divorced set up). I didn't need either, but I didn't slam the car. This will also aid in planning ahead for more aggressive wheel/tire combos.

Hey thanks for the input! SPL looks awesome. and of course I do NOT want to cheap out, but what are your opinions on Z1 FUCAS and rear camber arms? only reason I ask is because my Z probably wont see much track time mostly street use, so would SPL really be necessary? I'm not a genius in this sort of stuff so I don't know the pros and cons between the 2. I took it as SPL is for racers and Z1 is for street use. Please let me know your thoughts!

Thanks guys!
