Why not get a rear camber kit ? The SPC rear kit is only about $120.00 for arms & bolts or just $60.00 for the bolts.You are spending alot of money why not protect your tires ? In the long run it will pay for itself.You say you want to be low,so do the right thing and get a camber kit.

What are your intentions for the drop? lower stance for show? better handling? Do you have a steep driveway? Are you concerned about rough roads?

Yeah, heard the H-Techs for a Z put on a G are somewhere between the S-Techs and H-Techs for a G in drop.

I'm looking at Swift sport compact springs for my drop (F-1.0; R-0.6). Heard they're very good. No break-in sag, etc. But also considering Cusco or Swift coil-overs as well.

How much wheel gap can you handle? If you go with H-Tech's, you will have about a 1" gap all around. With S-Tech's or lower, you need the SPC Camber Kit. If you have the money, I would say Tein Basics.

Ps. I got some Tokico shocks for sale locally, if my sale now doesn't go through.
