hahaha yeah right

And no you don't always need camber kits with coils...it all depends on how low you go man...unless your going crazy fitment and using them for negative camber most of the time people just buy camber kits in order to get their cars back into factory specs after lowering

LOL thought I'd try...

Yeah I'm just not sure if I want coils...when I had my Integra I had Eibach Springs and never changed the height for 5 years....if I can find the right springs that will lower it just right I'd be happy..I'm not looking for hardcore stance or anything like that.

coils add adjustability to the whole equation both in ride height and dampening (for most coils at least) and they replace most of the suspension which is a plus....so it all depends on your preferences

Yup, that's why I went straight to coilovers myself. I had a feeling I wouldn't be satisfied with the drop on springs.

You do not necessarily need a camber kit, however many will buy them just to restore the car back to factory specs.

But I was satisfied with the drop on my Integra...so I think I would be on a G.....I just don't wanna spend 5-600 extra dollars when I can save that toward some baller wheels ya know? LOL.

I get what you guys are saying, I'm just not sure I need to go that low..

Springs should be good enough then....i don't really know of any springs that will FULLY close up the gap though, s-techs are good but you will have to cut the spring mount in the rear to match the drop that the fronts get

Any suggestions on a different set of springs that might drop it a little more?

Just a follow up, so I can order a set of 350z suspension and will fit on my g straight up?

Also am I OK to just get the springs, or should I do the camber kit as well? When I put some rims on I'm not going to look to go intense with the tires and wheels...just as close to stock size as I can.
