Lowering/Camber Question

I've researched this for hours, but failed to find a definite answer. It seems its a "you'll see when you do it" type of situation, but I still wanted to ask it. I have an 03' Coupe with stock 18" wheels. I want to purchase the Tein S-tech springs. I'm sure I'll have some type of camber issues, my question is to what extent? From what I see, a rear camber kit is almost a must, but which? I looked on eBay and found a Stillen set for like $50. Are they all the same? $50 sounds rather cheap, and is that all I would need you think? Lastly, should I go ahead and buy those and have them installed with the springs, or wait a week and get an alignment, and go from there?

Sorry, I know there are threads on this, but I wanted a "what about 18" stock rims with S-tech springs" answer.

I'm doing similar research as you to determine the best setup for my car and have found that the SPC rear camber and toe bolts are a popular choice. I believe that is the minimum you need to get back to specs for the rear.

With the S-tech, I believe you will also need something for the front as well.

Those are Stillen "STYLE" camber kits on EBAY. Knockoffs, I wouldn't trust those.

My Stillen Rear Camber Kit ran me $410 for the pair.

Ken, why do you need a rear camber kit? Isn't there a goodly amount of stock adjustability back there?

What is the drop in the tiens? How much can drop AND NOT have to worry about camber issues.

you dont want to go more that .75 if you dont want camber issues.
the s techs for a 350z on a g 35 will yield about 1.2 1.3 drop

Yeah I ended up going with the Basic coilover. Very happy with it so far.
