This has been covered a bajillion times. Please serach.

If it were me, I would get F/R camber kits, rear toe kit. I'd also replace all front end bushing with poly and inspect the rears for excess wear.

I looked into this setup but decided against it since the drop is minimal.

Work properly? They're springs.

Well, your shocks are likely to blow faster, and it'd likely save your tires to get a camber kit and have professionals realign your car. You might be fine, but maybe not. This is why I would always suggest going a full coilover route instead. Adjustable (height and stiffness), and less worries.

Most people don't need camber kits with the H-Techs.
After an alignment most get back into spec because the drop is so modest.
I only bought a rear camber kit after upgrading to S-Techs and I'm still in spec.

Shocks will wear prematurely but unless you already have 75k+ miles on your shocks I wouldn't worry.
Like I said the drop is real modest so it puts less of a stress load on the oem shocks.

Nothing. He was saying you're fine, and telling you to disregard my advice.

All I'm saying that it seems like you're not looking to drop your car too much and a full coilover system with f/r camber kit seems to be overkill for your application.
If I am correct on that assumption then just the springs would suffice, nothing else needed.
Now if you're looking to really drop the ride then a coilover setup with f/r camber kit would be the best, but expensive.
Pay to play.

LOL, na man just givin my 2 cents.
If he were going to slam the ride then I agree that coilovers and camber kits are the way to go.

Should've gotten coilovers. Most of us that think a mild drop will be fine end up regretting springs and eventually get coils, nomsayin?

H-techs aren't going to make much of a difference in looks. You're gonna end up switching it up soon. Barely noticeable... should've gotten springs that lower more or coils.

Just install the Tein H-Techs and drive your G for a week then get your alignment done. Ask the alignment mechanic how far off OE specs your car is and will that cause premature tire wear. You can believe the members that swear you don't need the camber kit or do the job right and get it all installed at once like I did....choices! Everything you'll need is available here on our MARKETPLACE under vendor suspension....Gary

I have a feeling you get a kickback every time someone clicks the SEARCH button or buys from the MARKETPLACE

To the OP, I bought Z springs because I was worried about this exact situation. I took away from all my research that I would need camber kits, so I went the minimal drop amount.

There was a massive tech summary about lowering your car that someone wrote, need to find that again.

You NEED camberkit and toe kit. Even if you drop with the G35 H-Techs. Unless you want to have uneven tire wear.
