you don't NEED a camber kit. I've been on H&R coupe springs for just under a year, the only reason why my tires got bad was because I didn't get an alignment and I drive hard.

^ I'm saying if you go lower than an inch, you will need a camber kit, unless you have money to burn on new tires every 6 months. If you don't believe me, do some research on here as there is plenty of info on this topic. I like the G/Z combo better than the all around Z drop due to the fact the drop looks more leveled. With all around Z drop, you still have some gap in the front and the rear is noticibly lower than the front. You might be able to hide that if you have 19-20. Used springs go for about $100 or so. Rears are a piece of cake to replace - just make sure you don't over tighten the nut cause you will snap the bolt. Ask me how I know...lol The fronts are a bitch to do if you are switching the springs. The bottom line, look for a full Z suspension for both front and rear and then get yourself some rear G springs and you should be golden. Might want to try to put all around Z first and see how you like it. Rear springs are easy to replace and you can get that done anytime.

Stop screwing around with springs and get coilovers.

Awesome advise guys =D Thank you so much... i can't go too crazy with this car because I it's for the family LOL >_< don't want wife and kid bouncing around in the back. LOL.

I would love coilovers but unfortunately "we're not ballers like you...lol"

I just picked up a set of 2003 coupe springs today. Should I buy the 07 or 08 Z springs? Either is $80. Is there a difference between the years?

07 and 08 Z springs are the same, but if there is no difference in price, get the newer 08 ones.

Truth!

A couple posts back are my alignment specs with the z/g drop, If remember correctly there is no factory alignment correction for the front so 1'' drop upfront put me "in the red" on the camber and there is no way to adjust it the rear has a buit of factory camber adjustment which he adjusted be left me a little negative cause i wanted it.

SOOO STUPID! >_<

I realized some contributing factors in my unsatisfactory ride height.

1. I have a 10" sub that weighs 35lbs.
2. I have staggered rims, 225/45/18 and 245/45/18

I just finished installing 2007 350Z front springs and 2003 G35 coupe rear springs and the rear is still lower than the front.

NEXT SUSPENSION MOD IS COILOVERS =D LOL!

Sorry for all my painful posts about springs. Thank you for all your wisdom's on the subject matter.

K. By any chance anyone has pictures for 03/04 sedan with H-tech, S-tech or Eibach Sportline spings? Hopefully with the OEM stock coupe's 19's? I know for the eibach it's 1 1/2 drop or so. Which I think is not enough drop for me. how much drop for the H-tech or S-tech? anyone know? (I don't have a budget for coils for now so springs it is! )

But my advice is to save the money you have for springs and keep saving until you have enough to get some coils. You will be waaaay happier in the long run I promise.

I'll still try to "save" if I can for the next 2 months. I have 2 questions though: will s-techs give the lowest possible drop with those 3 choices? And, are z struts have the same height as my stock 04 sedan struts?

No, they're shorter, which is what you want when you're lowering the car.
