First, the handling was about the same.
Second, the stance of the Z at distance is greatly improved. The Z should've had a stance like that from the beginning....

What are your tire sizes? I assume you want the spacers for looks and not any handling improvements (which will be minimal).

So what "look" do you want? Do you want them flush or kind of flush?

Also what are your camber specs front/rear? I would say regardless of tire size or camber specs you can easily go out 5mm front/rear, but there is definitely room for more...easily.

I have 20mm front and rear, stock sport rims and tires, Eibach springs, pro alignment kit, stillen sways. Just got it back to specs over the weekend. My specs: Front camber L-1.1 R-1.0 Caster L 5.5 R 4.8 Toe L 0.07 R 0.11 Rear Camber L-1.5 R-1.6 Toe L 0.12 R 0.14 Thrust angle -0.01. I don't have the recordings just ater springs, spacer and sway install as the shop didn't print it, they just said it wasn't close enough to recomended settings.

I'm impressed with your front camber specs being so low considering the 20mm spacer plus drop up front. I assume this is on stock 245/40 and 275/35 tires? I am thinking of going to 245/40 up front. I think a more Rounders tire will help reduce my front camber.

Or is the pro alignment kit something for the front too? I assume you have it just on the rear.

I have stock sport wheels and tires. The front has Eibach's pro alignment kit. It is an adjustable upper a-arm. Caster and camber adjustment is achieved with the upper mount. It lists for $459.50 from Stillen. I'm very happy with my entire suspension setup.

I have these springs but my wheels are 10mm farther out than your stock fronts and I have. 255/40. I rub the plastic where it bulges out at the front where the bumper bolts to the fender. But 265/35 just over 26" and my fronts are a huge 27.1" diameter. So I think you would be fine from the most part. The negative camber will help suck the wheels in too. I only rub on big dips at speeds over maybe 40mph.
