The design of the 370z rear suspension has the spring cup and camber arm divorced from each other. Where the spring sits in the stock midlink is completely different from where the camber arm is located.

Regardless of divorced or true, you will need rear camber arms. I would recommend SPL.

If you end up with true coilovers you'll need toe arms to take the place of the stock spring buckets. I have a brand new, never opened set of SPL arms I'm selling for cheap.
