1" drop all around on 04 Coupe

What would you suggest i would like the most comfortable ride as possible. Ive read about using 350z suspension but it only lowers the rear .5". For a 1" drop would I need a camber kit?

You are thinking of the G/Z drop that uses 350Z front springs and G coupe rear springs.
350Z will lower your car front and rear 1". No camber kit required, but yes get and alignment.

350z springs will drop the car .5" front, no drop in the rear, on a coupe. Rear springs don't do anything.

350z springs only drop 1" in the front on sedans.

If you want an all around 1" drop, Eibach Prokits are the closest to that (1.1/1)

My fault I missed the "coupe" part of the equasion. 350Z springs will lower your car .5"

I had the Tanabe NF210's on my sedan for a while and I really liked the ride quality.

Tein S-tech's are popular and get you right where your're looking to go.

SEARCH lowering, you're not getting the correct information. Tein 350Z H-Techs will lower your G close to an inch and give you a factory ride but....any time we lower our coupes/sedans you'll need a complete camber kit so you're not buying tires once a year....along with a 4 wheel alignment!
