03 Sedan 350z shocks/struts + Lowering Springs?

I was wondering if I got z shocks/struts, could i use an after market spring like H&R sport.

Also what are the best z shocks for the 03 sedan?

Also would a camber kit be an essential?

I figured this would be a good way to get it pretty slammed, since its already about an inch lower with the whole z suspension.

And if this is a good choice, would i need to be looking at after market 350z springs instead of g ones?

Thanks for any help in advance!

Best way to get your car slammed is by picking up a set of coilovers. If you are going to slam your ride then I'd suggest getting a rear camber kit, which will include toe bolts so you can adjust your toe as well. Yes its more money than z shocks and springs, but doing it "right" the first time will save you money in the long run.

^Depending on his setup he may not even need a front camber kit. I have no use for one since I don't need to add any positive or negative camber, I just use the natural camber from my drop.

just always remember this .. every coupe spring will lower you .5'' and 350z springs will lower you 1'' more ...

so you want to slam it you say ... IMO if you cant afford coils that will be close to around 1 grand. i would go with the 350z tein s techs with 350z struts and shocks ... you wont be slammed but you will be LOW !!! slammed is only coils were you can drop it like its hot 3'' or more

If you are interested in springs/struts let me know. I have a set of S Tech springs with less than 2000 miles and 06 revised 350Z struts/shocks for sale at a very good price. The front springs are already mounted on the shocks as well.

Great!
Now all I need is a Camber Kit, (rear first i guess)
I dont know if the front is needed yet...

Lemme know on front and rear bumper,
taking my front off this weekend to check
to make sure all i need is the cover.

Also!
(Completely of topic)
Anyone wanna give me a link to; how to retuck the leather door paneling!

If you havent noticed I picked up an abused
4 door sedan 5AT
The reason I wasnt worried about coilovers as much is because, im not worried about the whole handling aspect.

But, I heard of some fully adjustable coilovers for 900$ shipped,
so i would still need camber plates...
the price is around the same.

I would be happy to get the suspension and the bumper covers (unpainted)
for under 1500....
but then i need rotors

enough rambling,
thank you guys for all your help!!
