will this drop give me problems?

I'm thinking about running Tien s-tech (z) springs in the front and rear on my 07' non-sport coupe. I don't wanna risk shredding my rubber so I'll just bite the bullet and throw down for a spc camber kit in the front and rear. I have searched this a bunch but I just want to make sure that this will be ok. is there anything else I will need? or can i just get the springs and camber kit and call it a day?

Is the camber kit really necessary when only dropping that much? What are those on the G35's like 1.2/1.3" or something? I would like to know more as well.

Thinking of a 1.1'' drop all round?

Thinking of a 1.1'' drop all round on my non sport coupe using 350Z RS-Rs also running 19''rims, do I need a camber kit also with that drop? also using stock shocks, is there anyone else running this setup! Thanks G.T.

If you want to get back to OEM specs (to prevent uneven wear of the tires), you need camber kits and toe bolts.

Lowering a car will put added wear/tear on the OEM shocks so you will eventually need to change those out as well...down the road at some point.

remember that toe will affect ur tire wear more than camber, start with that and then search around some more, if u want to lower it, u can go with springs or coilovers, like g35papa said if u get springs down the road ull need shocks as well, in my opinion just save more and get coilovers, if u do it, do it right
