Yes. Here is a current thread discussing them.

I have 350z H-Techs, I needed front and rear camber kits. People say you don't need them but after I dropped my car the wheels were clearly cambered inwards and I was seeing irregular tire wear after 3k miles. Do it right the first time, get camber kits regardless of drop.

Also as an side, the 350z H-Techs are bull****, I basically spent $1000 on springs and camber kit, install, and alignment, for an extremely marginal drop that is hardly noticeable. In hindsight I would've went with Tein Basics or BC Racing coils instead.

Best of luck.

just to be clear, people with z h techs usually cut the rear spring mounts, not the springs themselves.

i checked out the the DIY suspension section where they cut the mount on teh G with teh z h-techs and after he was done it looked like the back was lower and the front barely had a drop

Go search a couple picture threads on these springs and see if you would be happy with it. I obviously don't know how low you are trying to go. For me, I didn't want any wheel gap at all. 350z H-Techs almost got rid of my front wheel gap, but I have a 1 to 2 finger gap in the rear depending on how the springs are feeling that day which is no good for me.

Luckily I knew I was going to switch to coilovers eventually so I never replaced my OEM shocks with aftermarktes like Konis or Tokico's. At this point I'm just waiting for my OEM shocks to blow to give me an excuse to buy new coilovers. Although that could take a long time.

My understanding is that you can correct neg with the Cuscos, but not all the way back to OEM , and depending on your drop.
I'll be installing these with the Intense rear + SPC toe bolts in a couple weeks so I'll let you know how it works out. BTW , the Cuscos are a very solid/ well designed arm, they're not $$ cheap but I found you get what you pay for with performance parts (like everything else in life).

Cuscos do allow some positive adjustment, but they are not meant for that purpose. IMO, why not get something that is meant to do what you want it to do? SPL doesn't cost much more and allows much more positive adjustment.
