25mm spacers all around is better
 
I've been rolling on 25mm spacers in the back ever since I got the car in Feb '11, but nothing in the front. Most people are rolling with a 20/25mm setup but I personally don't think it's flush enough. So I went with 25's in the front as well and find that it's just right with a tiny poke just like the back.
I'm not dropped. I'll probably get Swifts later on.
I remember seeing a guy with 25's all around and dropped on Eibachs with no rubbing problems.

The one thing I did notice is how the car feels slower now with the added unsprung weight of 4.8lb for the front spacers and lugs. That means a total of 9.6lb for all sides. MMmmmm

I'm lowered on H&R springs, & I was planning to get 20f/25r.. but since you say 25mm all around is better, I would like to see!

I can agree with this the stock rays with 20mm all around still has a hint of sunk

derrick what type of spacers are you running in the front? bolt ons or stud replacements? i heard bolt ons don't work

Well, I know that when I run the car hard through the canyons, there is a small part of the fender liner in the front that the tire contacts when the suspension is near fully compressed and that is with 20mm spacers in the front. From what I could see, anything more aggressive would make that rubbing more significant.

I'm on 20/25 z1 spacers w/ no issues at stock height. Looks perfect IMO.

i also started a thread back in march about painting the tire letters white for that GT look (http://www.the370z.com/exterior-inte...lettering.html). i decided to try it. it came out okay with 1 coat, but i should put in another 2

let me know what you guys think about it

Yeah.. That's way too much poke in the front for me. 20mm with a drop on springs is my preference. Did you plan on lowering your Z?

You will not be able to notice the weight difference, your butt dyno needs a recalibration.

swift springs is on the wish list but hesitant considering the roads here

wdk- you should pick up my pair of Jline front fender trims to finish the look up front. it's silver painted but you can always have it painted to match your car. :)
