350z springs drop on g35

is it correct that a '06 350z springs and shocks on a g35 coupe will drop it a good inch front and back? right now i have 20's and have a 2 finger gap between the fender and tires, tanabe nf210 gives an inch drop up front and .06 at the back... should i go with oem 350z springs or just get the tanabe? as far as camber, which one has the least impact?

i should go with tanabe then? 1/5 is not really a noticable drop right?

hardly noticeable yes, also will have a lesser impact on camber. the lower you go the more negative itll be.

I have it on my car, its noticable if you've seen the drop before. but maybe not to the untrained eye. (my fiancee noticed it though at first glance).
I'd love to drop it more and maybe spend a bit more on camber kit, but with the roads here in Chicago??.. yeah no thanks.

That will not give you the drop you're looking for, in fact it will hardly lower your car at all.

I'd go with the Tanabe's you're looking at instead. As far as camber, the more you drop the more negative camber you'll incur. With the Tanabe's, I'd count on getting front and rear camber kits. You may get away without one, but you should budget them in your total regardless.

hi, i m planning to get the nf210 too, but concern about impact on the camber. How's your tire wear so far, and do you have camber kit? i appreciate any feedbacks.

you'll definitely need a camber kit for fronts and rears... it's not that bad but unless you like spending money on tires.. right now i'm just doing the rears...
