Lowering plan.... Any flaws?

Ok I give in. Starting the process now...

1. Cut my fenders by b2 in Tampa the day before the run.
2. Either win tein stechs (350z) at the run or buy them(marketplace or new).
3. Do the install myself.
4. Get rear camber arms and toe bolts for christmas (what brand? Spc or ichiba? Idk help me out on this one!) hopefully do this one by myself also!
5. Get a 2 year alignment through tire kingdom.

And then i'll be lowered!

Any flaws/suggestions? I am on a kind strict budget so don't say "coilovers"

Get Coilovers
















































haha its whatever you want but im trying to save you the trouble lol.

Go with SPC

z stechs sound ok. How about Tanabe DF210 or something like that. Those go pretty low.

Coilovers are height adjustable. You can raise to be a monster truck if you wanted lol.

Sounds like a plan Stan!

But you may end up wanting front arms too. Yea, go with SPC. I wish I did, especially for the fronts

give your car at least 2 weeks before you align it so the springs settle.

350Z S-Techs and SPC kits front and rear are a good plan.

most likely yes. you're lowering the car over an 1" and the front has no stock camber adjustment.

Can't even think of asking for front and rear camber kit for Christmas! Parents wouldn't drop $500 on that. I guess I'll ask for the rears for Christmas and a few other small things (iPod hookup or strut bar maybe).
