Looking at my all stock Z, it looks as if I lowered it an inch the stance would be perfect.

I bought my z used, I was staring at it sunday thinking about lowering it, and I noticed my rear actually looked as if it had been lowered. There is definitely less wheel clearance in the rear than the front, and it appears to have a visible negative camber, on the rear.

This might explain some of the odd handling behavior I have been noticing. It was raining though so I didn't get down to inspect it.

From the factory; Z's have twice the negative camber on rear vs. front.
They also have twice as much positive toe.
19 gallon fuel cell will affect the height difference in rear-pending how much you have on.
Hope this help's.
ps: be sure the surface is perfectly level & flat...as with the independent everything;will make a difference on measurement's.
