Thanks!
I'm on Z H-techs and got rear cambers just for insurance. Kit + install is cheaper than replacing tires every season. Rear fat tires aren't cheap

I absolutely love my Strafe trunk. It's in fiberglass. The body shop that did the work said they'd never worked with a higher quality aftermarket part. They only had to fill a couple of pinholes and block it down a little and that was that.

The fit is pretty spot on, my trunk seals perfect.

I really couldn't be happier.

Here's a few pics from around the trunk to give you a better idea of the quality/fitment:

That, combined with wheel spacers really eliminated the wheel gap and looks alot better, but still allows me to drive over speed bumps, curbs, and such. I'd recommend that option if you'r not looking to spend a fortune or be slammed to the ground.
i would get a camber get front and rear imho with that setup.

Welcome to the "COUPE" world! Why would anyone want those extra doors anyway? lmao
Real world, regardless of what anyone says when you lower your coupe (any amount) you're going to need a total camber kit! This only applys to those of you that don't want to replace your front tires yearly cause the inside 1/4s will wear out quickly. I love the Strafe trunklid and the one on the silver coupe....^.... looks My only concern is how they seal, don't want water in the trunk causing rust and how well they fit....Gary

Well, someone correct me if I'm wrong on this, but bro if the car drop is an inch or more u will need a rear camber kit if u don't want to eat ya tires up. I sure didn't want to buy tires every year like I was doing before I had my drop.. Since I put springs and camber kit on I have not had to buy tires in the rear.. So I would recommend getting the rear camber kit.. U should be able to get away without buying a front camber kit (which are new A arms).

So will getting the revised 350z springs require a camber kit?

Also a quick question regarding HFC's, is it pointless to get one if you are keeping stock exhaust?

I wouldn't say so. I'm going that route in a few months also.
