You may need to get adjustable camber kit for the front , but wait until after you get your alignment.

If I'm not wrong, You don,t need camber kit due to the low drop from the Z spring.. You should (after aligment) be almost in stock specs.
the drop is is not so big. 1'' should be OK

Keep us updated, I will install mine next week.
I have the font Z and rear coupe springs.

When I dropped mine, I could feel the road a lot more than before ... so it seems to me the ride quality has changed, increased or decreased is in the eye of the driver.

Hi everyone.
I finally install my Springs Me too
But I have front 350Z and Rear g35 Coupe.
that give a more visual symmetric with front and rear drop.
take me 5 hours to install. I have power tools that help me very well.
Don't even try it it you don't have power tool and your bolt look like rusty!.

Ride quality is about the same, no road noise at all.
no more SUV feeling when you are beside a car
It's always a good thing to drop a car. it change the look 10x

Here some picture of my drop
