Tein H-Tech's for the 350Z. It'll give you about a 0.8" drop up front and 0.7" rear. The rear will be higher than the front, so you could do a springmount mod to even out the gap.

and with this set-up you would only need a rear camber kit/fronts will still be a little out

What's the rule of thumb with regards to a camber adjustment when lowering your car? I am looking at 20" rims and 245/35 front and 285/30 rear tires. How low can I drop my G before rubbing? 1" rear, .9 front? Is that considered a good drop? Someone recommended that to me. I don't want a 4 wheeler look since I am going with 20's so I would like the best look possible.

I have the same tire size as yours. I am installing my 350Z HTechs this weekend and I will post some pic when done. I don't think is going to be even drop like many others in the forum, the rear will be alittle higher than front but I am ok with it. I am not going to do springmount either because I've seen many pics of 350z HTechs drop w/o springmount and I like it. Its perfect for me. .

Get Z S-Techs, but you need a camber no matter which one unless you want to buy tires every 6 months like me.

I need your guys help. When it comes to suspension modification, I am worthless. But now, I have no choice, but purchase new shocks b/c I can feel very tiny bumps on the road and driving me crazy. I assume is my stock shocks are giving up and thinking about swaping with Tokico D-spec shocks and sprngs kit. However, I want to keep the quality of new stock comfort ride, but same time lower the stance to about 1" or less. Do I still have to replace camber with this minimal drop? Pls advise.

Thanks
