VicariousVision, thanks for the pics! is there a reason why your rear looks like it has a huge gap compared to the front? the front looks a finger gap and the rear looks like 3 or 4..right now at stock height im at 2-3 finger front and 2 finger rear.

if you could do me a favor and take some pics outside so i could get some more light kind of like the angle from the rear without the camera on an angle cause the angle makes it look like more tire is sticking out than probably is so i can see the poke of the wheel from the fender. and another from the rear of the car to see both sides of the rear wheels in one pic. as well as a pic from 1 side of the front that shows the front and rear wheels in the same pic. id appreciate it a lot your a big help! and do you have pics of your buddy you said on the same wheels with lower drop? and whats he dropped on?

and that last pic of the LS on white TE's supposedly on s techs. anyone know the offset? looks more like a 0 or even in the negatives.

thanks everyone for the input so far!

Although the gap looks big on the back in those pics, it is barely two fingers (and I have skinny @ss fingers haha). I'll take some better pics this afternoon aftetnoon I get off of work.

chatt350gt I'm in the same boat as you.
I'm dropped on 350Z h-techs with rear spring mount mod (1-1.5 finger gap).
Trying to decide whether I should go with the +12 or 0 offset Varrstoens.
I want an aggressive look but don't have the cash for super aggressive (coilovers/front camber kit).
While sticking somewhat close to oem camber specs.
I'm thinking +12 with a fender roll and eventually maybe go with S-techs.

Maybe instead of wasting time and money on springs, sell them and buy coilovers.

Irishsig...I'm still in the process of making final decisions now that 4dgs found me a fender roller and I actually found one 5 minutes from my house now...id say 4dgs is right..obviously if moneys a problem coilovers aren't for you since not everyone can afford them but if you have the cash definitely get coils...but if your going to stick with springs and want a semi aggressive look id say get s techs first and get +12..honestly I still don't think it would look that great since there will still be gap and negative camber....I think with springs the +22 is perfect unless u go lower with tanabes springs...but since ur wanting semi aggressive with springs +12 is the most id go...definitely not +0 unless you get coils...and a camber kit in the rear is definitely something you need to consider! With s techs or any lower than 1 inch. If your going to stay with 350z h techs ifd get +22 in my opinion. I'm still saving till the end of the month then I should be able to get everything I need even coilovers since I want to dial everything in right the first time! Still deciding if coilovers are in the budget..which will be the deciding factor to what offsets to go. Good luck with your decision! There are some members with +12 mostly but some pics online of a black and dg g coupe with +22 and definitely doesn't look bad. Perfect for a daily driver with no fender work needed. There aren't but a handful of stanced cars where I live so I'm trying to set myself apart from the rest by going alittle more agressive with my daily
driver...btw if anyone knows any info on mdu coilovers...how to adjust the heigh since its triple perch adjust the height of the shock body not from the spring perch..do you need to remove the shock from the mounting point to adjust or can you adjust it with the coilover bolted in?

^ I had MDUs on my ride up until recently. I would recommend adjusting them with them off of the car, but that's just me. I know some people who say that they adjust them with them on the car, but it always seems that they never get them to exactly the right balanced height in my opinion.

^ I've been debating whether I want to drop the cash on coilovers for the past year.
I'm anxious to move to the next level with coilovers & wheels but
my apt has a gnarly hump and then drop to get into the underground parking.
I literally have to take it at 1 mile/hour & at an angle in order not to scrape.

Why do you think +12 wouldn't look good with S techs or H techs (for that matter)?
Too much wheel gap?

BTW, totally agree on the rear camber kit, got that installed when I did the rear spring mount mod.
Needed to save the rear tires and never really liked the super cambered look.
