u can achieve something similar if u get a-arms and dial in more neg camber up front or run coilovers instead. but post up a pict of ur ride so dat we can gauge wat we are dealing with here.
Hi there

Now i see...comparing my pictures of my Z to his. Its muuch lower... :S I have done what you told me, reinstalled everything with a load on a spring, torque everything as per manual. It changes a little bit. Here the results.

Here some pics of my Z and on the picture I have a 5mm spacer on the rear. Can't put a 10mm with the factory studs but 5mm is perfect for my taste. If I can have this front a little bit inside the fender that will be great or put a 10mm on the rear...or A-arm? What do you think?

3rd picture is the kind of spacer I have on the car right now

Tks!

An A-arm is 300 minimum and it's inferior to the oem. SPL arms are the only superior and they are 800 bucks...
Spacer is like 80 bucks...

Also to run neg camber with your high offsets is odd to me since you are not in aggressive offsets.
Run a spacer in the rear to even it out.

That front looks like it has lots of -camber and is set in. I don't see anything remotely close to poke in the slightest. If anything I'd want to get proper A arms and pull some of that -camber out.

If that's "too much outside" then you have wheel fitment completely ****** up in your head

thats a super conservative fitment

and from everything you said its not even rubbing (which it shouldn't)

that fitment is all wrong, and its not because its "too far outside." its the opposite. sunk as hell, basically its good for nothing

even track guys are running more aggressive fitments with more tire and camber

street stance running even more aggressive and lower

what you have is just . . . vanilla placeholder till someone puts a better set up on it

sounds good. id get 10mm for da rear and you should be fine. if u can find a front splitter dat wiil lessen da poke look on da front but not needed. with a 5mm spacer u can usually get away without changing studs but i recommend u use steel lugs (Muteki)

That's exactly what I have as steel lugs. I will wait for the first drive in 2 weeks and I will came back with more pictures when the suspension will be settle and alignment done.

Tks for all your replies!

Tks for everything Kenchan. Just made a roll out this weekend with my 5mm spacer in the rear and she looks so nice!!! Just a little bit more outside on the rear ( got studs and spacer 10mm in order ) and it will be perfect! Here a pic
