Every car and suspension setup geometry will be different. These issues are largely "generic" at best.

What you need to consider mainly is alignment IMHO. Your OEM shocks on the Tanabe springs will be fine, (of course depending on how you drive, but under normal conditions, the shocks will hold up just fine).
Alignment is not going to be TOO out of whack, some adjustments can be made with your oem setup without needing arms etc.. If it's a concern, you can always buy the camber arms etc later on down the road.

You have no need to worry about your axles with this setup. Although that comment is true, it's generic, and is a concern for some cars and not for others. I've worked on and owned Z's, G's etc and never once was the axle issue a concern at all.

(also if you need pricing on camber arms or have questions on them, let me know!)

It might bottom out the shocks and blow them with Tanabe's extremely soft spring rate. It will also hurt the performance aspect of it with the spring rate extremely softer than stock.
