What way should I lower my car?

My two options are:


Tein 350Z S-Tech springs: $190

or

MDU Coilovers: $500


IN BEFORE a set of 1500 coil overs.......

i will be rolling fenders and getting camber F and B. It would be for 19 inch rims want them to sit right at the fendor line. Thanks!

Go w/ the coilovers. That way you can choose your height

Since you're doing that camber thing /-O-\ it doesn't really matter how you lower your car, you won't be going very far or fast. I was going to suggest you get BC coilovers due to the ride quality but the direction you're going it doesn't matter....Gary

^^^ lol- "But it looks cool!"
There are so many groups for negative camber, we need a group for people with correct alignment.. We can call it the Hella Useful Crew

I have the SPC as well, will bring the camber close to original specs but not all the way. Make sure you get an alignment done ASAP after installing coils and camber kit if you choose to do so....My toe was soooooo bad that i was going through a set of rear tires every three months.

Go with Springs as coilovers on a streetcar are a waste of money. Coilovers were designed for racecars to adapt car's rideheight to various racetrack's surfaces. Some tracks bumpy surface means you have to raise car to prevent bottoming. Other tracks have a nice smooth surface, so yuo can drop the car right down.
