I had G35 H-techs before I switched to coilovers and they were fine, didnt need a camber kit or anything.

With 350z S-techs you're gonna be slammed definitely gonna need F/R camber kits and if you drive anything like I do you're gonna scrape on everything

do you want to put on camber kits too? Thats really the only main difference. It depends on how low you want to go.

I don't know the specs of all the different springs, just what I had. (they're for sale now in the marketplace BTW) I do remember that anything lower then G35 h techs was going to need a camber kit tho, I think you could get by with the 350z h techs but with the s-techs you will definitely need camber.
