haha I will be sure to post up some pics just waiting on the spacer to come in for the front wheels. I am going to at least wait until I get my alignment next week before I make my final choice about selling or not. Really don't want to sell as I love the design of the wheels and of course inexpensive forged Rays.
Maybe if I play around with the camber a little more it won't be as bad..

Five day update:
I wanted to hold off a little while about my impressions on the new setup until I was able to put some more miles on them. I also drove through some less then wonderful roads this morning so I got a good feel of the comfort levels.
To start I can only compare this to the Stock setup vs. Eibach/Tokico HP because they were installed together. As some of you may know I was very worried about bouncing with the springs. Honestly, I believe that with the Tokicos it is just as stable or a little bit better then stock. In the corners it feels more balanced and flat, keep in mind I haven't done any track driving so I can't give the impressions off the street. However I would expect coils to outperform in that type of setting.
When it comes to comfort.. yeah of course the ride is a lot firmer and you hear more road noise. On normal roads to me a least it doesn't feel much different then stock. I have to say that I was very pleased and surprised about that I was expecting it to ride much harder. However when the roads start to get a little rocky I can feel a big difference over stock, it is less forgiving and it shows.
Overall, I am very satisfied with my choice of the Eibach springs and the Tokico HPs. When it comes to price, performance, and looks I don't think you can go wrong with this combo.

Thanks guys..
I just put up the 370z Rays for sale if anyone is interested.

They are just too aggressive for my taste but I am sure someone would love to snag them right up.

Looking for some advice from you offset experts. I am looking at a non-staggered set of wheels which are 8.5 +22 but I am concerned they will be just as aggressive as the 370z Rays that I am selling.
The front I am not worried about too much but the rear of the 370z is...
19x10 +30 and the new wheel is 19x8.5 +22
according to this http://www.1010tires.com/wheeloffsetcalculator.asp I should have 11mm more room on the outside.
Do you guys think this should be enough to keep my wheel inside the fender if I reduce my rear camber from -2.75 to something like -2.0
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
