I'm lowered on Sedan H&R sport springs, and I don't need a camber kit. Barely even needed an alignment. Like I said a few pages back along with pictures I posted, these springs are by FFFFFAAAAAARRRRRRRRR the best out there for the X or maybe even every sedan. The perfectly even drop and the ride comfort is unreal, I feel really stupid I had to go through all the other setups, Z-springs, H-techs, Z-Htechs etc.. to finally get exactly what I was looking for with the H&Rs. I paid about $280 for these, and would have paid double that to get the result I have now. I just need to start saving up for shocks pretty soon cuz I just broke 38k on the stockers.

Gentlemen, I Would Like To First Start Off By Saying Your Dedication To This Task Is Extremely Admirable. I Look Forward To Seeing The Progress Of This Endeavor In The Future. I Am Actually About To Attempt To Try A Set Of Skunk 2 Springs For The 350 On My ‘X. They Rate Them At Approx. 2.0"-2.5", So I Will Attempt To Mate Those Up With A Pair Of Z Rear Struts To The ‘X And Let You Know Of The Results.

Did you measure your actual drop?
Does your front end ever scrape?

I lightly scraped my oem lip spoiler with the 350Z H-Techs but nothing since, not even close. I haven't measured the drop, I'm just greatly satisfied on how even it is compared to the other sets I've had. I used to hear jokes at meets from buddies sayin stuff like "get all those big girls outta your trunk" lol cuz the rear was always saggin. I let a fellow NGC club member and 06 X owner (Blue22Flameson driver) drive my G after H&R install, he bought and installed a set a few days later, he couldn't believe the comfort of thise springs.

Please post a scan from the alignment shop you used showing the before and after specs.

So these are the sedan H&R springs? and ride is much better than with stock Z springs?
And you dont need a camber kit front or rear?

I am running a +40 with a 10mm spacer on a 20x8.5 in the rear, up front 20x8.5 +40 with a 15. I had the 15 in the rear but my fenders are not rolled enough. I guess I could add more camber.

i'm looking to get a camber kit soon. i dropped my 2004 G35x on H&R Sport Springs over a month ago, and i have M45 wheels with 20mm spacers. some say i need just rear camber kit, others say i need front and rear. if i dont NEED the front, i would much rather save the $400 lol.. how bout you other folks on H&R springs? do you have front and rear camber kit, or just rear, or neither?

My M45 sport 19s are due any day now, and I've been looking for a good drop. I think I've read just about every page of this thread... Anyhow, these H&Rs are looking reeaall hot, I may have made my mind up. Almost. Do the car show hoes come with the springs?
