Coilovers or springs??

So I've decided I want a drop..just can't decide what I want to do.

I have tried searching but gave up after the first page

If I were to get the H techs, would you guys recommend a camber kit?
What about tein basics? For daily driving and no tracking, would you guys recommend the basics or just springs?
Also I am on a lease, is it stupid to modify the suspension?

Thanks for any help.

if your on a lease then i'd just do springs...your shocks will go out eventually but depending on how long your lease is it might not matter

^^agreed but with cambers it all boils down to whether you want perfection or not

youll find a good amount of people with H-techs have no cambers because the alignment can usually get them quite close to factory specs

on the other hand, youll find several members who went with a camber kit. Obviosly the camber kit is better to have because it will make your tires last longer

G
since it's a lease, just get the springs. if it was your car and $$ was not an issue, then coilovers all the way.

I am wondering the same thing!

Is it possible to adjust the coil over to have the same comfort as the stock springs?

Coilovers if you want the ease of putting your car back to regular ride height. You can always sell them and gain abck some money here on the forums!

Give us a call we can give you a quote for both shipped to you! We have the H-techs in stock. Actually overstock, so PM me or give us a call. Can get you those or some Tein Basics as well. You wont need anything more than that unless you will be tracking your car.

In addition to his question, if I decide to go with springs for 255/35/20f and 285/30/20r setup what brand spring would be recommended for me to get without the rubbing?

if u go with springs go with g35 s-techs or for 350z H-techs. Don't go with G35 h-techs because the drop is not noticable at all.
