Hey guys, let me start off by saying I am clueless about suspension work. I read around and so far I am thinking possibly 350z springs may be my best or atleast easiest way out but I figured I would ask just in case.

After my audio install the added weight dropped the rear to a point where I am ok with but now I am thinking about the front. Would I be fine with just getting springs in the front for a 1" drop, or should I just get 350z springs (I believe I would get around a .75" drop?) If I went this route would I need any camber kits or anything? Prior to my audio setup I was looking at coil overs and a camber kit but decided to pass on it for now, if I could get away with just throwing springs in the front to even it out I may go that route.

Let me know what you think, Here is a pic. Thanks in advance.

 

Installing oem Z springs in the front only should give you a .5" front drop, no camber kit should be needed with such a mild drop. If you were to install the front springs out of the Tein 350Z H-tech kit, you'd get about a .8" front drop. A .8" drop is the point where some coupes are not in oem alignment specs, though some are.

 

Thanks for the reply, unfortunately I dont think .5" will be enough for the front. I was hoping for a .75 at the very least and possibly 1". So if I go with springs to achieve this I will have to go with a front camber kit?

 

how much weight did the audio system add i was thinking about getting something for a little more bass, but seeing that in ur car is just.... ... btw what exactly do u have?

 

I was planning on making a post but I got lazy, when I take better pics inside/out I will post them. I threw a lot in there, hardware wise 2nd battery, JL 1000/1, 300/2, (2) 10w6's, 15" lcd a lot of fiberglass, vinyl, suede in the trunk. The front got a 8" touchscreen, eclipse headunit, JL zr-650's (which sound amazing btw) and a carputer running streetdeck.

In looking back at .8" drops, where coupe owner's installed 350Z H-techs and owner's got the car aligned after the install. About half of them reported that they could not get the car back in spec, while the other half did. And a number of those that were slightly out of spec, felt that it wasn't worth the cost to correct since they weren't off a whole lot. You could install the rear SPC arms and elongated toe bolts to be safe, kinda hard to push that since half of the owner's reported being in spec.
