Like 1.3F 1.0R.^^With the best springs possible.!! Is that enough of a drop for the car to have an aggressive stance?

i would say you dont NEED a camber it but youll probably want one. typically you should get a camber kit for drops that are more than an inch.

I lowered mine on Tein S Techs and had it alligned by Nissan and they were able to get the camber back within factory specs. You shouldn't have any problems

There's no way they could legitimately get your car back into factory specs with the S-techs, are you sure you let the springs settle before you got the alignmnet done? I just did an alignment on a coupe the H-techs and could barely get it back into factory specs with the oem adjusters. The front camber is definitely way out because there is no factory camber adjustment.

To the original poster. If you lower your car more than an inch you'll want to think about getting camber kits, front and rear, if not all then the rear for sure. If you want to be buying tires every 12-15k miles then you can lower the car more than an inch without getting camber kits. The struts will hold up for quite a while if you dont lower it more than an inch. If you totally drop it, they might last up to 20k miles... MIGHT. Look into tokico D-spec shocks if you dont want to get coilovers.

You may need a camber kit. I dropped mine on Eibach Pro's and my rear camber was fvcked. Front was not as bad, but I still needed a camber kit there too.

Does anyone have problems with sagging in the rear after the drop? I hate when cars sag in the rear.!! My 98 max did and i just dropped the front because i had a big system in the back.Check it out.!!
