Took some pics of the wheel spacers today. Here are a couple comparing the stock spacing to the 15mm that were added both front and rear.

More pics.

I also took the car out for a spin this morning to get a feel for the Hotchkis sway bars. My first impressions are that I feel the bumps in the road much more but the balance of the car is way better. Going left to right and vice versa are super smooth now. All I need now to finish off the suspension are some KW V3's to keep the car stuck to the ground.

What do spacers do for the handling on the Z's?

Spacers just make the wheels more flush with the wheel wells. They are also supposed to improve handling a little bit since you are widening the cars stance but I highly doubt change is anything significant.

rule of thumb:

wider front better turn-in (excessive = oversteer bias)
wider rear better straight-line stability (excessive = understeer bias).

you will need at least 10mm change to make a noticable handling/feedback difference on street.

you will also notice wheel rate changes from about 10mm given you are running the same tires and psi.

on my car i had ET15 on the rear and was having slight understeer bias with ET38 so added a 5mm on the front (ET33). perfect.
