Lowering w/Springs Only, Suggestion?
 
I want to lower my ride about 1" only. Basically I want to lower my car to the max without having to deal with a camber kit. What is your recommendation? Also, how is the Tein S Tech in this situation. Thanx in advance.

I have a set of Tein H techs that will work perfect, 125.00 shipped.

whats the drop amount?

What kinda rims do you have?

I have Tein S. Techs as well as a bunch of other locals, they're a good spring and a good price.

I went with 350Z Tein H-Techs having high hopes I wouldnt need a camber kit. After the alignment, my left rear camber was SLIGHTLY out. They set them both the same just a tad out of spec and I could of gotten away without gettin camber arms, but I just got a new set of tires and didnt want them to wear out pre-maturely.

Oh btw, the Z H-tech springs drop the car about .8 in front and .7 in the rear. I would say these springs are the closest you will get to a drop with minimal camber issues. Your only other option is to get the G35 Tein H-techs which drop the car .3 in front and .2 in rear, which will not even be noticed and just a waste of money. For about $550 dollars you could get the 350z tein h-tech springs, spc camber arms and install. Maybe another 50 bucks for alignment a week later and you got yourself about an inch drop... here is a pic of mine.

Hope that helps, good luck

Actually, the G H-techs drop it .6"/.3". It doesn't sound like a lot and maybe you want more of a drop, but it is noticable IMO. All alignment #'s were within stock specs but the front camber was almost out at -1.2.

And a comparison (H-techs on left, stock on right):

get your mind out of the gutter ;)

Thank you for the help folks.

Looks like I might have to get a camber kit and if so, what kind? Will I need it for the fronts and the rears?

depends on the drop. If you go with 350Z htechs your rear will need a camber kit. I got SBC rear camber arms to fix it. However if you drop it with other kits that lower the car more then your front may need some extra parts also.

What is a good brand for camber kits? Front and/or back.
