Hi guys, I just had a few questions. Tried searching but there weren't any specific threads.
Well, I'm planning to lower my car on 350z S-techs in the near future.
I have 20s on my car with offsets 25FR. Wheel size: 8.5F/10.0R. The tire size in the front is 245/35 and in the rear is 275/30.
I was wondering if I need to roll my fenders for the drop--from what I understand, it'll be about a 1.2/1.1 inch drop.
Will I need to get camber kits for the front AND the rear? Or will one suffice? If so, which one should I get? (front or rear?)
Does anyone know an estimate for how much labor would cost to install these springs and the camber kit?
I have an oem bumper and was wondering if my bumper would get destroyed or considerably damaged if I were dropped this much.
Thanks!

 

1 inch drop is nothing. you will not even be close to hurting your bumper, and i wouldnt even bother with the camber kits. is this on a coupe or sedan? if sedan yes fenders will need to be rolled. on coupe no

 

Haha, it's a coupe. Thanks for the reply!

 

Can anyone else give me feedback please?

 

Put the wheels on then order some spacers....im sure you will want them, so measure the gap from your wheel to your fender.

 

^ no money for spacers right now >_<
Anyone know the price of labor?
And any more suggestions on if I should get a camber kit?
How big of a difference would a camber kit make in my tire life?

 

You may or may not need a camber kit, you will know this for certain once your dropped and take it to an alignment shop. I needed camber kits with a 1" drop. If you end up needing a camber kit, don't be cheap and not get them or you will be paying far more to replace the tires at shorter intervals. Keep some distance from curbs and the bumper will be fine.

+1 using a ruler to see which size spacers you will need.

 

I lowered my car on ebach springs with 20 inch rims. Gave me a little more then a 1 inch drop and the alignment shop said the camber is not too bad, but ill still get camber arms when I get new tires. but I did have to get my rear fenders rolled because of the spacers. I also have spacers on the front but the front doesn't scrape on bumps. They charged me 45 per side so I paid 90. And I have a nismo bumper and a lip on that already low bumper. I still don't scrape anything. I can get up pix if anyone needs.

 

Pics please!! I am thinking of dropping before I buy the wheels so I never have that apparently ugly fender gap lol

 

I'd like pics as well

 

heres the front wheel drop





And rear drop



this is how much they stick out.... it looks too much in these pix but its perfect in real





Rear spacer



Front spacer



Rolled fender



Nismo bumber and lip... and still dont scrape




ill soon be getting different wheels with wider tires so ill put smaller spacers on. Let me know what u guyes think..

 

Looks pretty sick bro flush as hell, how good is the ride on the eibachs?

 

+Bro u will need your fenders rolled if u are going to drop your car on 20's. If you don't want to buy tires all the time it's best to get a rear camber kit. i have 20/285/30's on the rear with 11 inch rim.. depending on the bump or curve u are going over u will rub.

 

The ride quality is like stock and handles much better. I was surprised at how good it was. I thought it will b bumpy, but it was like stock. And yes u do need Ur fenders rolled depending on how wide the rims are.

 

i dont need fenders rolled for 20x8.5 f&r, right?
