Should I buy all at once or do one item at a time?

So I hopped on a great deal on some G Sedan Tanabe GF210's I was originally planning on just slapping them on my stock shocks & no camber arms but now I'm thinking maybe I should go with 350z Tokico HP blues ($300) and some SPC rear camber arms & toe bolts ($180) I have the cash but I kind of don't think it would be smart to spend this much right now considering I need tires soon, Should I just do springs now, then do camber arms later & then shocks down the line when mine blow?

if thats the case and you dont mind doing installs more then once then jus do it one at a time. thats wat i would do if i was doing installs myself. plus im sure the stock struts/shocks still have some good life on them even with lowering springs

If you plan on getting an alignment, do them all at once Will. You could probably get away with not getting the shocks for now but lowering, then getting new tires and no alignment, you'll end up eating the tires sooner than later

So best bet would be to do springs & a rear camber kit at the same time? When I sell my roof rack I'll buy shocks lol

So should I got with SPC?

Yes, springs and a rear camber kit, then an alignment. That would be best so you can get back into spec on the rears which are mostly thrown off when lowering. SPC seems to be the best bang for the buck...price and quality.

Still haven't sold the rack huh? GLWS

Roof rack sold! Camber & Springs are for sure maybe even shocks at the same time as well! I get paid on thursday so I'll see how my paycheck looks & how the stock market looks (Currently losing money) and if I can sell my shares in clearwire without losing money then I'll buy shocks as well lol

if your not driving 500 miles a week you should be fine with the in camber wear for a while. also i would wait till you blow your oem setup before buying new one's. ferther more lol Why get spc arms when for 50 more bucks you can get SPL ti rears and you can got +/- 10 deg. I think spc only got +/- 6 deg. which will not get you back to spec idk its your buck.

I'm not going all that low I only need like 2 degree's of adj so SPC works just fine for me.
Thanks! I love it too but no cars have been made in my color It's one off lol my car was repainted in october to a little bit of a different EM base with galaxy blue pearl added into it. I never really loved the original EM it was a little to bland for me and a little to "grey".
