Springs are horrible with OEM struts. You're gonna run into some problems and eventually pay more in the long run. Save up and invest.

With your budget pick one or the other above, you won't get both. Plus as many have posted here that you seem to ignore, it's not as simple as dropping the car over an inch and you're done. Lots of factors come into play here and none of them are cheap fixes.

Sorry to pop your bubble, if you're on a tight budget leave your suspension alone!! Quality springs that will lower your coupe the amount you want and still give you close to factory ride are Tein S-Techs, available from our Marketplace under vendor suspension. ($300+) Total camber kit front and rear plus install/alignment which will be required unless you want to buy tires once a year for your DD. ($1+K) Your shocks will quickly wear out because you're lowered 1.2" another $500 easily. So in a years time you've spent $2K just for looks...should have bought rims instead!

I purchased the Z versions of the S-Techs for my ride. I also purchased a camber kit for the rear. I am very happy with the quality of the ride. It feels just like a 350z (my brother has a Z so i compared), and I also love the drop on it. As far as the shocks, I know I have to replace them as I left the stock one. I knowing this, I saved money to buy good shocks tho. Not having a car payment has pushed me to do these things
I agree with the coilovers. I have a motorcycle and I take it to the track, taking my G to the track would be boring. IMO.

So, I haven't been on forums much lately but I happened to raise my price up alittle higher I was looking at these since they are cheaper then Eibach lol and remember I am on a budget so how low is -1.2 front and -0.9 rear if possible can send picture?

would it be ok to use these springs on the OEM shocks without any problems? because it says in description yes you can but I am not 100% sure it's safe. & also is it mandatory to get the camber kits?
My questions maybe stupid but it's my first car ever since like I said up top before I only rode motorcycles lol

Using you OEM shocks is fine but getting something like tokico shocks would be better. Although that would put you in the price range of just getting coilovers anyways.

i think it's like a 1.2-1.3 drop. it's perfect imo and leaves some room for when people sit int he back haha. Does not scrape everywhere how most people perceive it to be. but you do have to be careful with speed bumps and driveways
