I don't mind to run some negative cambers as long as it's not -3.0+ or something.

The front left and right has areas where your bumper screws on. This will require shaving if you have a tire size of 265/35/19 or higher since it will cut and rub your tires just like it did on mine, hence folks will tell you to keep front offset up to +22 since it's perfectly just flush without rubbing issues. The rear fenders are rolled from factory, but not the front. What I'm trying to say is if you plan to lower your car in the long run, might as well get the right wheels instead of buying multiple sets unless you have deep pockets lol.

Gotcha! My z is not my DD. It's my weekend car. I usually bring it to car show or car event. So I don't really mind running some negative camber as long as it's not stupid. I am planning to run the stock 245x19x35 up front. I guess I will survive. Thanks for the heads up bro!

H&R springs though are the most aggressive drop you can buy though. If you're talking this is a performance car, that drop is way to low! The lower you go the more you bind the suspension components. That's why that $3000 billet shorter aftermarket spindle arm is a great idea. Its shorter than OEM and keeps everything at the right angle but lowers the car an inch.
