I bet there is something about this somewhere but I have searched and can't find it. I want to put a slight drop on my car and can get my hands on some coupe springs for free. My only question is will I need a toe kit or camber kit with only the slight drop. I hear it drops about 1". I know I would need to get an alignment but I don't want to have to pay for toe bolts/camber kits. Any help would be awesome
oh and if this matters I'm on a set of 20" rims

 

Search 2003-2006 sedan FAQ you will find the info you need. Make sure you read the whole thread. :-)

 

350z springs on sedan = 1 inch, coupe springs on sedan = .5 inch. No camber kit needed for either.

 

Just to add to what your saying. Those numbers are for stock springs, if you get lowering springs for either you add those numbers to the drop and that will give you the total drop for the sedan.

350Z lowering springs: .5 (drop for 350Z) + 1. Drop (for putting Z springs on sedan)= 1.5 inch drop for sedan.

Coupe lowering spring: .5 (drop for coupe) + .5 (drop for coupe springs on sedan)= 1. Inch drop for sedan.

 

and no toe bolts required, I just don't want a small job to become expensive and surprise me. Thanks for the numbers though

 

I didn't put toe bolts on mine, the only thing I would have done to mine is camber kits up front. I was around -2.2° to -2.7° of camber. Don't quote me exactly but it was noticeable.

 

I have z springs front aind rear and am within coupe specs.

 

I had Z springs and struts without a camber kit and it looked good and rode very nice. Pm me if you want to buy the springs.

 

What are the offsets and wheel sizes? Those rimes are sick!

if you cant get the springs for free then Ill sell u mine lol

 

Nice thanks! Did you pull the fenders, and also how much camber are you at? Im thinking about getting the VR06 rims.

 

All fenders rolled. Camber was originally at -1.7, but lowered it a touch more.

 

I had pretty bad camber wear/feathering up front on sedan H techs w/o a camber kit. And yes I had it aligned a couple of weeks after the spring install. According to all the suspension gurus on here that shouldn't have happened so I'm starting to believe all of our cars react slightly differently to suspension modifications.

 

So I heard I could drop it on revised 350z springs, is it bad to drop it on unrevised springs?
