Wheels look good! It'd be a crime to leave it at stock height. Some people just know they want to lower their ride, no questions asked. If that's not you though, get eibachs. I was skeptical, but am super glad I put them on. It handles better, and looks better. No negative side effects for me. Consider eibachs to be a gentle drop that is enough to get the job done.
Not that I've noticed. And I'm the type of person who takes way too long to make a decision about changing something such as nissans idea of how to engineer our suspension. Took me a long time to gather enough info and ask enough people about their experiences before I decided to do it myself. The ride is slightly stiffer, but I don't consider that a negative side effect because I didn't particularly care for how soft if was before (think: firm mattress vs soft mattress--no right or wrong choice). It is still a very comfortable ride, and to me the sacrifice in comfort, if you want to call it that, is more than made up for in the planted feel. The handling improvement has been wonderful. Of course driving style plays a large factor if you want to make use of the reduction in body roll, tighter feel, etc. But short of being a touch more likely to scrape now, I have not experienced any negative side effects. If I had if to do over it would have been the first mod I made to my car.

you should keep it 100% as said above regardless you will have camber that cant be corrected so your tires will wear unevenly with springs. I mean you can get the 350z camber arms or whatever but they require some modification for them to match up so that would be a negative to most about the tires
You're probably right about that. I'm not an expert in alignment issues, but I DO trust the guy who did my alignment after the lowering springs were installed. He told me it wasn't 100% back to where it was, but that the difference is so minor that I shouldn't be concerned in the slightest. It is very very close. I even offered to buy those camber arms and pay him for the install, but he declined saying it really isn't worth it. That's how close it is. I've probably only driven 10k-15k miles on these eibachs, and I've measured tread wear a a couple of times and have yet to see any uneven wear.
