HELP!!! will i need a camber kit???

i have a set of 350z Eibach Pro Kit i want to put on the ride.
03 w/ 19s (Ruff Racing) running on reguar springs right now.
245 up front and 275 in the rear (will it rub if i drop???)

anyone know for sure how the 350z Pro kit lower on our cars? i heard that it lowers more than the G35 pro kit springs?!
either way, am i going to NEED a camber kit? or would it just be very wise so i dont wear out my nice tires?
or will i be ok with just the lower and not a camber
if not...its for sale
thanks

I heard that the 350 springs lower the same in the rear and a little less in the front. You don't have to get a camber kit, but your tires will wear unevenly if you don't. The stock camber arms are not adjustable, so the only way to get back into spec is to change the arms. Oh - it won't rub as long as you have a hefty offset in the rear +45 or more.

i believe stock camber arms are adjustable... but only adjustable to max like 2 degrees (maybe less) where as if you get the SPC or another brand of camber arms...they are adjustable to like 4 degrees

With either kit you will most likely need a complete camber set-up.

The drop is virtually the same as the G35 pro kit. Infact the G35 pro kit drops the front 1.1" versus 1.0" for the 350z prokit. The rear is the same 1.0"
Yes you are going to need a camber kit.

are there any springs i could drop around .75 inches or more so that i wouldn't need a camber kit for?
because i'd rather sell mine and get a more appropriate one where i wouldnt need the camber adjustment
because by time i'm done with it, it'll be around $500 to drop it around an inch...just doesnt seem worth it
