Question is "are you willing to buy all the camber correction kits required if yo lower more than about 1")

HKS ftw!

Slam it and buy some camber kits...or save money for tires

If you dont want to deal with the camber issues, and you wanna drop it with exhaust, then I would go H-techs with the HKS. With S-techs youll have to deal with all the suspension issues.

Im very happy with my H-techs and havent had any issues. Its not slammed, but i do have staggered 19" wheels too. Check the link in my sig to see the drop.

I have 350z springs in front and coupe springs in the rear. The spring rates matches my stock sport suspension springs and rides about the same. However, it handles a lot better. I did have to get front camber kit although.

When you lower a car, the weight and stress put on the suspension pushes the tops of the tires inward.

Looking from the back of the car the tires would sit like this / \
A camber kit allows you to adjust the camber angles made by lowering it so you can get back to stock (or as close as possible). This also prevents the tires from wearing in an uneven manner.

Ever see those Civics that are super low? /___\
