I have a 04.5 sedan 6mt, and I bought Vogtland springs(they were highly recommeded by a Tein dealer) for the 350z. These springs lower the 350z 30mm(about 1 1/4). My concern is(I recently found this out after buying the springs) by what I have read is the 350z setup in a sedan lowers it about 1" so will I get 2 1/4 drop if I install these? And what would you guys think I would most likely need for camber? Would I need front and rear(I assume rear for sure)?? Also, would I be able to do 20s with this setup or is it too low? Any idea on offsets? BTW, I am looking for a aggressive drop, but still want 20s and want to avoid replacing the front camber parts. A rake look is a big plus in my book. Any pics of a sedan with Tein S springs?

 

Your "gouge" on the 350z stock height being 1" lower is correct. With that said, I'm sorry say I think you will be way too low. I have 350z H-techs on my sedan (-0.3f and -0.2r on the the 350z) and a 245/40r19f and 275/35r19r tire combination. I have about 1.0in fender gap front and .75in fender gap in the rear. Based on what you are telling me, your front will have zero gap and the rear will be tucked a little. As for camber, mine is maxed out in the front. That extra inch my indeed require a front and rear camber kit IMO.

 

Camber issues with drops vary from car to car.
I'm dropped with Eibachs (sedan) and I have camber problems up front but not too bad at the back.

When I took off my summer wheels I noticed a lot of camber tire wear on the fronts. On the back only slight tire wear.

For the front I will be installing Perf. Nissan adjustable A arms.
For the back, I still have some adustment left in the camber & toe adjustment bolts. I will be installing a SPC Rear Camber/Toe kit (only $90) if I need more adjustment, when I get an alignment done.

 

AV8R and inTgr8r? Do you guys have any good side pics of your sedans with the Eibachs and the Tein Hs w/19s? Do the Eibachs give you any rake? I think the Tein H wouldn't give me enough drop, but I would like to see a good pics, because I would like to see what it looks like with 19s. Do you have any rubbing issues?

I am going to order the SPC Rear Camber/To kit now. Why are you going with the nissan A arms? and where can I find them? How much? Thanks for the great info!

 

If you're looking at adjustable upper arms for the front, I'd suggest checking out 350evo and Stillen.

Do I really have to spend $800+ to get my car to drive right??????? Oh yeah, plus the $90 for the rear parts??? I understand every car varies, but what seems to be the point that front A arms are needed? 2" lower? 1.5" lower?

 

anyone?????
