ARE THE Z H-TECHS COMPATIBLE WITH STOCK SHOCK AND STRUTS (if not, what are you guys using)?
PLEASE POST PICS OF Gcoupe ON Z H-TECHS.
Thanks

Either way, what's the best kit to get for the front and the rear? Any advantages in getting one kit verse another?

For me no problems with camber or toe. The fronts are technically a bit out of spec as I have about -1.6 degrees one one side and -1.3 degrees in the other. I think the max spec is -1.25. I think the only reason the front camber specs are less than the rear is to keep the safer understeer bias - I don't think there is any harm in running a bit more negative camber up front than spec allows as long as the toe is good and the rear has a tad more negative camber. My front toe is fine - I'm running with zero toe. The rears had plenty of toe and camber adjustment left. I think when I did the initial drop the rear camber ended up at -1.8 degrees, but I had them move the rears out to -2.0 degrees camber for a little better oversteer mitigation. I'm running the rear toe at +.14 degrees (toe in) total toe.
I can't really talk about the alignment kits. I know the best front A-arms are the 350evos - no contest. You'll have to search for the other parts. There are many, many discussions discussing alignment kits.
Good luck! Here are the pics of mine on 350z H-Techs.

1.) It is very close in terms of whether you need a camper kit or not, since it is very very slightly off if off at all I would suggest the cucso(retail $459), great product, just doesn't have the amount of adjustment that the 350evo(retail $849.95) has, but if your just off then it will get you back into spec.
2.) Yes you can use your stock shocks, however anytime you lower your car with aftermarket springs we also recommend upgrading your shocks to either the Koni yellows, or the Tokico Specs.

Sponger - great looking car. That drop is exactly what I was looking for. Quick question - any issues with speed bumps rubbing your car?
