Lowering Springs and Camber Kit Combo
Hey u guys,
I am planning to drop my ride. What is the best Lowering Springs and Camber Kit setup/combo that you would recommend?
I am looking for a drop that will give the front a lower look than the back. And i am looking for drop between 1.0" and 1.5 in the front.
Appreciate any suggestions. Thanks!

He wants an inch in the front and you recommend H&R?
That's not good advice, unless you're measuring from the ground up!
Joe, I'm not sure what model you are driving so advice is a little tough. The X models seem to sag in the rear a bit more than the RWD models.
Eibach's are gonna give you about an 1.5" drop in the front.
The Tanabe's will be a tad less than than, but they sag in the rear if you have an X.
The Impuls are the perfect drop for your needs, but they cost an arm and a leg to get over here from Japan.... it depends on what you are driving and what you want to spend.
The H&R's will be too low according to your first post.

I suggest you go with the Eibach Pro-Kit. these springs lower the car just enough to get rid of the horrible front gap, and there is very little difference in ride quality except for better handling and less body roll. as for a Camber kit i would also suggest a SPC rear camber kit and toe bolts. I was on the edge of getting H&R and eibach and if you search around they drop the car waaayyyy more than they tell you.

thanks you guys! I have the 08 G35 Journey. I am actually leaning toward the Eibach Pro-Kit after many threads on this forum.
Btw, excuse my ignorant, but how come most of u suggested only the rear camber and not the front? is it b/c we don't 'necessary' need to have front camber kit?
thanks! always appreciate the quick responses.

you dont necessarily need a front camber kit as it is a little bit adjustable but you dont need it plus it cost over $400 so i dont think its worth it either. since you have a Journey the Eibach drop will be perfect and it will sit more flush if you have aftermarket wheels.

i have the G37 Coupe S OEM wheels and spent $200 on each of the Kumho Platinum tires. Plus, since the wheels are staggered, tire rotation is impossible, so just concern about the tire wears if i don't go with a camber kit on the front. How bad is the wear if i don't go with a front camber?

I was in the same boat when I decided to lowered my G, I only purchased the rear camber and toe kit, because everyone suggested I didn't need the Front Kit, Well after I got my wheels and new tires which each tire cost me $350, you start to do the math on how often you are going to be replacing the front tires, and it finally hits you how inexpencive the front kit by SPC is, imagine changing tires every 1.5 year, just doesn't make sense, btw I finally decided to get the Front kit after my friend that was doing the alignment informed me how out of spec the front was, he refused to do the alignment if i didn't get the front kit first LOL, oh well I haven't looked back, and i'm happy to say the car is set at factory specs.
