use those garden shears!!

350z h-techs have been doing me well so far. drops to about a finger in the front and a finger in a half or so in the rear.

rear spring mount cuts the rubber spring mount in the rears and lowers the car more

Does it make a difference if my car is the base model, without the sport-suspension package?

Best way to lower your car on a budget...is to not lower it at all.
Wait until you have the money to get it done right

if you do a moderate drop 1-1.2 in front 1 in back you should only need the rear camber kit which you can get used on here around 90.00 or a new ichiba one from b2auto designs for 130 shipped.
