scraping with h tech springs?
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.

lol i'm stock right now too but i have yet to scrape.. *knocks on wood* i'd like to clear that gap between my tires and fender.. but dont wanna do it at the cost of my g's underbelly. i still have my stock 18's right now.. maybe if i go up to 19's it'll help make a difference
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.
with H Techs i don't think you'll need a camber kit nor do i think you'll be scraping i have S Techs and i needed a camber kit and i scrape here and there but you should'nt have that problem
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.

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