contradictory to what you want to do...

agressive typically means...LOW.spacered out or low offsets...meaning.rolling fenders is a must. and def. a rear camber kit, tires camber pretty bad on stechs..

u should run S-techs...Z, drops it more, G stech seems ok...back isnt dropped as low.
i ride g stechs, and my camber in the area is getting bad...1.5inch of camber on the inside...

thanks bro i just read what i wrote and your right.. it doesn't make sense lol i changed it though.. i just wanna get rid of the gap and have no rubbing issues. so you think z spec s-techs are the way to go? thats what i was thinking i just didn't know if i would be rubbing due to the wider tire size in the rear

I assume you have a coupe from the staggered tire sizes.
There are several choices for springs.
The most popular/least expensive/aggresive are the Tein S techs for the Z.
The spring rates for the Z more closely match the OEM sport suspension and the drop is pretty low, just under an 1".
You will want to get atleast a rear camber kit.
Usually you will not be in spec when on S techs, but some people have found that they don't need the camber kit at all.

This link shows all the spring/coilover options for our rides and includes the spring rates.

Yeah
Do some searching for 350Z Tein S-techs.
There's a grip of info and pics of a lot of rides on those springs.
I don't think you should have to roll your fenders with the s techs.
It depends on the offsets of the wheels, but I personally am not an expert when it comes to offsets.
So I really can;t help u there, but I know others on this site can.

I dont think you will have to roll the fenders if you go with either tien springs. I have those exact wheels dropped with some BC coilovers with only about a finger gap all around and I do not rub. So in theory you should be fine

I would love to show some photos but I have no camera right now. But for comparison sake it looks pretty close to O HELLA's car , which I must add is SICK!! , mine is just a little lower but still no clearance issues except for scraping the ground.
