Just remember, if you drop much more than an inch you will be running alot of camber. This will wear the inner part of your tires, unless you get adjustable arms.

Ok cool . The pro kit drops it 1 inch exactly . You think I will need camber or I can't get away with the toe ? And of course alignment

Ok guys so order the topiko struts and the eibach pro kit. Which is 1.1 drop all around. I'm concerned about the tire wear. Will cambrr or toe kit be needed if so please show me some link and the price range. Thanks

If you're just going with an inch drop why didn't you just go with the z/g drop? Probably couldve found the springs for about $150 at the most and then you could've just bought the shocks/struts and saved money. It may have even given you a better looking drop and evened out the car more.

As for adding a camber kit I doubt you'll need it but if you lower it more in the future I'd definitely get one but you can probably get away without it at only an inch lower.

I would seriously consider buying from a vendor or even seeing if a local shop can match or get close to those prices, ebay can be a nightmare and you never really know what you're getting...

I would highly recommend a rear camber kit, no front tho. They're not that expensive, you can pick up a camber/toe kit for like $150

For a 1" drop, 350Z (revised) springs are pretty much what you will need.
