stock 350z springs vs. H-techs(coupe, sedan, 350z)

Hi Guys, I did a search and couldnt really find much about it especially for the sedans. So any assistance would be great from the sedan owners.

So basically I want to lower my car and not have to deal with Camber Kits,
I have read that anything under the 1 inch lower would bring the car close to stock specs...

Now I am debating on the stock 350z springs of any of the Tein Htechs.
The 350z should give my sedan a 1 inch lower correct?
The G35 Sedan H-techs a .5 Lower?
G35 Coupe H-techs a .80 lower?
and the 350Z h-techs a 1 inch lower?


Could you guys let me know if you experience any camber issues with any of these springs ? and Photos would be great.

Thanks

its just how this car made the back doent drop same as front, you can really tell when your car is parked on strait with nothing around it but open view, with my 20's im happy with the drop

what you can also do is S-tecks Rear and H-Tecks front like many have done here already

I has nothing to do with the drop. It is because the wheel wells in the front are larger than the ones in the rear. The car sits level, but it appears higher in the front because of the size of the wheel wells. This is done on many cars.

There is 0 factory camber adjustment in the front. So there is nothing an alignment shop can do to correct the minor negative camber that will come with your 1" drop without using a camber kit. Camber wear on your front tires shouldn't be too bad though.

The rears can be adjusted so you are good to go there.
