Got my Volks.. Now I need a drop..

GT-7's are on the car now.. I want to drop the car badly but I dont want to ruin the camber either.. I am looking at the Tanabe DF-210 but am unsure if I will need a camber kit..??

Or if I go with the 350z GF210 will that be better??? $hit I am confused!

Thanks for any help directed my way.. I can use your suggestions!

Thanks

to maxamize tire life, youll want to get a camber kit with any sort of drop. no matter how much of a drop it is.

but camber kits are usually only reccommended for drops of 1" or more.

+1^ What's $200-300 for a rear camber kit vs the cost of new rear tires?

How much wheel gap do you have? Measure that, then decide how low you want to go. That is what should determine the spring you want.

Id recommend going with Swift springs if you are looking to maximize your performance. If you are looking for a good drop for aesthetics and a slight improvement in handling, the GF210 is also a great choice. AS far as a camber kit, your car with the stock suspension already has negative camber. If you set your camber to 0, you will be sacrificing your handling for better traction and even tire wear. I personally wouldnt get a camber kit to straighten out my camber but to give more negative camber for better response in handling but its a toss up. It really depends what is more of a value to you. Here is a picture of a 350Z with Tanabe GF210's.
