This is exactly what I am doing. I'm just waiting for the springs to arrive. We'll see how it goes but later depending on how I like the drop I might look into getting some coupe rear springs to get the G/Z drop.Originally Posted by Tollboothwilley
1/2" isn't worth it. get a 350z setup and drop it 1" around. If you have the sport suspension just get the unrevised Z springs and you're set.
The idea behind the G/Z drop is to give you a more even wheel gap front to rear. The Z springs will drop you about an inch all around and the coupe spring about a half an inch. The way the sedans naturally sit the wheel gap in the front is bit more then the rear so by going with Z springs in the front and coupes in the rear it should even out the wheel gap. I'm not sure how noticeable the gap differences are so I will see how I like that Z springs all around. The G/Z combo does seem to be quite popular but like someone else mentioned it can be hard to get someone to sell you just fronts or just rears.
I'm pretty new to all this but this is what I have gleaned from chatting with people and digging through the forum.

I'm dropped on sedan H Techs and really like the look and ride. You could probably find a used set for ~ $100, new they run ~ $180

This is what I have been wondering.. for the sedan, anything lower than the coupe springs requires a camber kit for the rears, right? Or can you put the Z springs on and have the camber be ok?Originally Posted by suicidesam
don't forget the camber kit

From what I've read, the H-Techs are great. If it was me, I would get them over the Z setup. Also, I think several members are running them without a camber kit since the drop is so mild.Originally Posted by SILVERAZG35

I think the general rule is that anything over .5" in the rear starts to benefit from a camber kit. Z springs will drop you 1" so you will have some minor camber issues. Sedan H-Techs drop around .7" I think and some people go without a camber kit. It's really up to you and whether or not you want to avoid excessive tire wear.Originally Posted by geew1z

Tire wear I might be ok with, but if the tires are majorly tilted, I would not be able to stand it. Plus obviously the camber kits make lowering a car much more expensive..Originally Posted by OKStateG35

I'm willing to bet that your toe is off, that is why geww1z was asking if your tires were angled out. You should get an alignment soon so you don't wear through your tires prematurely. Might as well throw on a rear camber kit and add some positive camber (unless you need to run that much camber so you don't rub).Originally Posted by Bestswat
