Any difference in quality between H & R, Ichira, or Eibach? Or other recommendations? I'm going with 15mm in front and 20mm in the back with the stud replacement style of spacer...

For the ney-sayers that are so worried about spacers causing undo wheel bearing wear, I don't understand your argument for the 370z.

All we are doing using spacers with sport wheels or any aftermarket wheels is duplicating the way a Nismo looks by pushing the wheel mounting point outward to dupe the Nismo's deeper wheel offsets to make the wheels flush with the fenders. This essentially puts the Sport wheel/tire combo in the same place since there is no difference in the mounting points for all 370Zs regardless of model. This means the centers of the wheels are the same as the Nismo so this means Nissan designed it to work with Base/Sport/Nismo sets of offsets and their different loads of the wheel centerlines.
