I have an 05 coupe and I want to drop it but i am not familar with our suspension at all. I used to have an is300 and all i did was buy tein s-tech springs and put them on that with the stock shocks and I had no problems. I am only going to have my car for another year and a half, so long term isnt really my concern. I am going to keep my stock 19's on and want to drop it somewhere around an inch. What is my cheapest/safest options?

There are 1,000's of threads on this.

 

i have read quite a few threads on this. From what i understand if i drop it less than an inch i will probably not need a camber kit. Does anyone have some pics of their cars with the stock 19s on and a drop? post pics please thanks.

 

Yeah, I would like to see some too, cause I just got 20's and i wanna drop it, but not too much.

 

Tein H-techs ment for the 350Z. Drop on your coupe will be .8/.7"

Other option's would net better performance, but I don't see the call for that here.

 

so i could get tein h-tecs for the 350z and not get new shocks or a camber kit?

 

sorry i don't mean to sound like an idiot but maybe i am when it comes to this ...

1) with g35 tein s-tech, will i need camber kit or new springs?
2) with g35 tein h-tech, will i need camber kit or new springs?
3) with 350z tein h-tech, will i need camber kit or new springs?
4) with 350z tein s-tech, will i need camber kit or new springs?

i should have just asked that in the first place....thanks for your help

 

why would you need new springs to replace your new springs you are going to purchase? As for the camber kits, they are never "needed" as long as you are willing to deal with the increase wear on your tires. They are recommended for all drops except for possibly the g35 h-techs however, so purchase at least the rear kit if you plan on dropping

 

edit, i meant will i need new shocks. my car is a lease and i have another year and 5 months left on it. my car has 18000 miles and i am buying new tires tomorrow. im trying to get a drop on my car for not too much money but also without getting bad wear and tear on the tires and shocks.

 

drop it and get an alignment, the shocks will last the rest of your lease, and the camber kits won't pay for themselves either by the end of your lease

 

drop it with which springs? im going for look but without having to go parallel over speed bumps...

 

g35 s-techs since you want around an inch of drop, but don't expect to be able to just drive normally, leave it stock if you aren't ready for driving a lowered car

 

thanks for all your help

 

hey mine and my buddys are dropped 1.5 on tein s-tech mines the front one and we are both on 19's

 

PLEASE DROP!! makes such a difference in looks and in handling.
