Tanabe Gf Question

So i Just picked up some Tanabe GF-210's and an SPC Rear camber, The drop is one of the more aggressive for springs, 1.5 & 1.7 I believe. I have 20x9 and 20x10 Axis Shines with an offset of +15 fron and +20 in the back (I think )
Do ya'll think i will need a flat roll on my fenders or just a mild to keep from rubbing?
245/35 up fron and 275/30 in the back.

If you're doing a roll, might as well do an aggressive one. Can I ask why you went with the GFs and not the NFs? GFs have a higher spring rate. The ride is stiffer than most people would like for daily driving. If you're looking for more of a drop than the NFs should've just went with the DF210s. http://www.tanabe-usa.com/springs.asp just my .02

The Df spring rates are too low, and too soft of a ride for what i like.

well you have GFs so everything is a-ok! let us know how you like them. BUt to answer your original question, just roll them anyway while the wheel is off. It'll save you time later if you decide to go with wider wheels.

I have close to the same setup, Gf 210-z model,cut perches, tokico hp shocks and 20 axis wheels with the same offset. Also rear bolts and arms. With some rear camber on the arms and within front spec the rears are cool, the fronts rub on full lock at slow speeds. Also on camber-depends how aggressive/flush you want your stance.

How much did you cut off your perches? SO no front camber kits? Any pics of this set up? I haven't installed them yet, been too cold.

One last question how to the HP's ride?

since he has 350z springs it drops the car more so if you get the g35 gf springs it won't be as much of a drop

I cut as much off the perch as was possible keeping maybe 1/8 inch of the top on. HP ride stiff compared to stock but the firmer shocks are better with the gf springs. The stock shocks lasted about 10k with the tabnabe's.
