scraping with h tech springs?

i'm planning on lowering but want to know how often you guys scrape. also is there a need for a camber kit since the car is lowered. please feel free to chime in if you guys know the answer or have these springs.

I would get camber kits no matter what since the camber is already negative and lowering the car will make it even more negative. I guess it all depends on how much money you want to spend on replacement tires As far as scraping... i would take any inclines at angles and approach speed bumps w/ caution.

Don't have H-tech but aren't those the ones that have very little drop as say compared to S-Techs?

Dont think you have to worry about with H-techs. Your camber wont be off that much either, but camber kits are a good investment if you drop more and want to get back to oem specs. A little negative camber is good for handling.

Increasing the size of your wheels wont make a difference on your ride height. Well i guess it could if you dont get the right size tires. Ive been lowered for almost a year now and have only scrapped once and that was b/c i got a little cocky going over a bump. If you are cautious, you should not have any problems.

if you decide to lower with htechs, you will still be within oem specs in the rear since there is limited adjustments possible. however, there are zero adjusments on the front. i was -1.6 in the rear but -1.5 in the front with 350z htechs.

Tein 350Z H Techssss......!

The Tein H tech don't even lower the G and inch. Unless you have my
bumper I doubt if you'll have issues with camber or scraping.

i rarely scrape nowadays...and my drop is way more aggressive than h-techs.

learn to drive the car lowered and you'll be fine.

just installed H-Techs on my G 2 days ago & i am still on my stock 18s. you can tell the difference in stance, but it will only drop 1 inch at the most in the front & probably .5 in the rear when they settle. no camber kit needed for the rear. you should be ok unless you've never driven a lowered car before. the S-Techs will slam that joint.
