2005 G35 Coupe W/Sport Suspension

Hey people, new guy here to this forum. Have a 2005 G35 coupe fully loaded except for navigation. Has the premium package and the sport suspension with the 19" wheels. Want to lower this a little more. What i am trying to find out is if i went with the eibach sportline lowering kit, would the tires rub the fenders and would i have to get the front and rear caster/camber/toe adjusting kits available. Dont want to keep replacing tires every year due to camber issues. I prefer the eibachs since ive used them on many vehicles ive owned and customers vehicles i have put them on, they seem like they last the longest at the ride height they claim. Couldnt really find a definite answer on this issue. Thanks.

The Eibach Sportlines for the 350Z won't cause any issues with rubbing nor should you run into any issues with camber/caster or any other adverse tire wear. The drop is mild but noticeable and still functional.

or how about just getting the rear camber arms and toe bolts ??? the drop with the sportlines is roughly 1.5 inches.

This^^

I would get the springs, rear camber kit, and rear toe bolts to begin with. Monitor the fronts and if it will align back into spec you should be fine. If it won't you'll need a front camber kit as well. Conventional wisdom says any drop over an inch will need camber kits to avoid excessive tire wear but that isn't always the case.
