Few questions on lowering

So i posted this in the suspestion forums and got no repy at all so i figured id give it a shot in here.

I've got an 04 X and im going to be buying a full set of 350z revised springs off a 2005 350z.

First off how much will these drop the F/R with my stock stuts? (i know there is no replacment for front)

Also will i need a front camber kit? (I believe anything lower than .4 inch's will need a rear camber kit)

Thanks everyone,
Mike

On a RWD G it will drop the car roughly 1 inch all the way around (as said in the Look here before starting a new thread!! FAQ's) AWD models go down another .5" than RWD (also stated in said thread)

Therefore, Z springs will take your car down about 1.5" to see the results of that check out the suspension compilation thread.

With a 1.5" drop I don't think you will be needing a front camber kit, not sure where you heard the .4" thing.

Hmm i was liking the idea of only a 1 inch drop because it wouldnt be as much pressure on my stock struts (which is why i had earlier completly scratched the idea of lowering). 1.5 inch's is kind of pushing my limit here because this is my DD and because im AWD i cant put sport stuts up front(only in back)

No you will be good, the springs are not as stiff as you think.

if you get the coils and not lower it that much you dont have to worry about a camber hit.

I can always see my home made coilovers. VRT arm with front VRT coilover, koni rears and ebay coilover to someone for pretty cheap +shipping. The shipping will probably be pretty spending.
