Just got back from alignment and the guy said that I will need to get front camber kit to bring my ties back into stock specs. However, he did say it wasn't off much.

Which inexpensive camber kits would you all recommend??

Coupe 6MT
Is the 350Z front/Coupe rear spring combo the best choice for lowered ride with a stock feel? I'd be looking to upgrade soon, where's the best place to pick up these springs - used, or new? Thanks-

Dave

Yes, Z/coupe springs are a great choice if you want to lower 1" and maintain stock feel. Depending on what you want, you will need to understand the distinction between revised and unrevised springs. Many people run Z springs all around, while others (like myself) install coupe springs on the rear to raise it a bit simply for asethetic purposes. It all comes back to what you would like.

If you want to talk about it, shoot me a PM (I see that you are local, not many sedaners in DFW interested in lowering ).

The best place to pick them up is in the classified section here or on my350z.com

Anyone have pics of their sedan lowered on Z and coupe springs? I want to see the height difference between stock and one inch drop. TIA!

Thanks for the link. What's the best oem spring combo that is even front/back. I hate it when the rear is lower than the front.

I am going to take my car to a preformance shop to get realigned next week. Hopefully they will be able to get all four tires back within specifications or very close so I will not have to use adjustable camber kits.

The place I took it before only got 3 wheels within specifications. The preformance shop said if they can get one front in they should of gotten the other in. Let you all know how it turns out.

I am running 350z spring front and coupe springs rear too. This levels out the wheel gap and improves the handling, without changing the stock sport suspension ride quality.

Z springs front / Coupe Springs rear

Here are a couple pics of my car w/ the Z/Coupe spring combo (running 245/35/20). When I ran the Z all around...the rear definitely looked lower (although it really wasn't).

Someone have a link to a thread that has info on the different versions of coupe springs? Getting a set of unrevised Z springs for my 03 sport sedan and was going to pick up coupe rears but wasn't sure if they had the same 'year' issues. Anyone able to enlighten me?

I put a set of unrevised springs/revised shocks on last weekend, dropped the car a pretty even 1" all the way around. With the stock 17" wheels the car looks pretty level, I would guess with larger rims any difference would stand out more.
