Tein H-Tech Springs, camber kit?

Hey guys, as my next mod, I've been thinking of lowering my car with the Tein H-Tech springs and was wondering if I'd need camber kits. I did search around first and I think I found the answer, but wanted to be sure before I go ahead and purchase them.

The H-Tech's aren't that big of a drop, so to my understanding, as long as I get the alignment back into specs, I won't need camber kits, right? Also, I plan on getting some wheel spacers, should I have them on when I get my car aligned? Will they affect anything with the alignment?

I had a chat with Rick at Riverside Infiniti while I was getting my car serviced and buying some parts (cool guy btw), and he told me as long as I get a good alignment after dropping, that I won't really need camber kits, so yeah.....

One more thing, for those who have these springs, how's the ride with them? Softer or harder than stock sport suspension? Thanks for the help

This may not apply since I've got a 2004 G35 coupe, but I'm using the Tein H-Tech springs and I definitely need a camber kit now.

Rick is right. I have a 2004 coupe with 350Z H-Techs, and i don't need a camber kit. The ride is a bit harder than the stock sport suspension, i would definitely recommend a shock/strut upgrade with the springs, especially with the rears, there was a lot more body roll after i put on the new springs. Once the new shocks/struts were installed, the ride was fantastic over the stock sport suspension. I daily drive mine and the ride is very comfortable.

350z h-techs will need a camber kit in the front if you want even wear. If you can put up with your front tires having some camber wear and you are willing to flip them to extend their life every 6-8k, then you can get around the same life as a set of rear tires. If you don't do the springmount mod in the rear, then you won't need a camber kit. If you do the springmount mod in the rear to get an even drop, then you will need a camber kit in the rear

Hmm more complicated than I thought haha. I'll have to do some research on shocks and struts then, any recommendations? A softer ride would be nice, as this is my daily driver as well. I'll look into the springmount mod too, thanks for the replies guys.
