As the title suggests, I want to lower my car for the cheapest possible while still doing it properly. What I mean by that is, I simply want to lower my car for aesthetics. I don't care about improving performance drastically. I don't race my car.. And I only plan on keeping my car for another 2-3 years. So, what is everything I would need to purchase to do this properly but on the cheaper side? As I'm pretty sure coil overs are a more premium option, I'm referring to the lowering springs route. Thanks!

As the title suggests, you are terrible in grammar.
Also, it would help to know how much of a drop you are looking for.
A super cheap option would be to take the stock struts/springs from a 05-08 350Z...can lower about 1/2-3/4 an inch.
But to be done "properly" it isn't going to be a cheap route. A lot of things to consider before completing...what wheels/tires/camber you want to run...etc

lol are you referring to how I omitted the "What is the" before "Cheapest" And the "," after "for"?? Haha come on man, get off my case and get a grip. AND if anything, "Terrible IN grammar" ?? No you dunce, it's more proper to say "You have terrible grammar" Originally Posted by VenomGT9

So I'm actually thinking about getting the tein basics or basis. I found them on carid and in the product description, it says "Not Included: Front Upper Mounts, Rear Upper Mounts. Rear Damping Force Adjustment" . Are these things that I need to buy? Would I also need a camber kit?

OP if you want your alignment in spec you will need a camber kit front and rear. and maybe toe bolts depending on how low you go in the rear.

$1k is the least to do it properly if you do all your own work (maybe ~700 if you find some good deals), and $150 if you want a POS. The choice is yours.

pfft you don't need a kit. just take a full coil or two out if your stock springs, camber parts? well shieeet just use washers as spacers to make the wheels stand straight
