Question need help w/springs

well i know its been discussed on here plenty of times and i did my research. but i'm still clueless as to what springs i should get.

I really want a 1inch drop but i know thats not possible w/out camber issues. if i get coilovers am i still going to have the problem?

basically, my car is stock on 18''s and i'm looking to get rid of a little bit of the gap without getting invovled w/camber issues, is this possible or will i have to get camber adjusters?

If you lower the car, you're going to increase neg camber regardless of what you
use....springs or coilover kits.

First off, do you have a sedan or a coupe?

If you drop your G an inch or less you could probably go without a camber kit. Any more than an inch and you may have issues.

You're going to have to do your own research and decide for yourself.

I too am having a hard decision on what to do about lowering my mt6 coupe. I want about the same drop, but dont want to take on the headache of dealing with the camber problems. Let me know what you decide to go with and if any problems you have. I would be interested to know, so that eventually i can make a decision...

I think i'm going to go with the H-tech's. its a moderate drop that shouldnt be to bad. i think about .5 drop. I should be able to get back within spec with those. I 'll keep you posted after i order them and install.

i just found kinetix camber adjusters for the rear, for a really good price. will i need the fronts as well if i decide to go to a 1inch drop all around. (Tein S techs)

Im not to concerned with my rims right now so wider tires wont be an issue.

What do you guys think?
