hes right dont buy sprint they claim a 1.75" dropp but when i installed them they didnt even drop the car and inch. the springs that give you the most drop is not tanabe. its H&R. i have them on my car and they drop the car 1.5" all around.

Did you guys that dropped your cars just by changing the springs also have to do some camber fix?
camber fix will help your tires to last a bit longer. but if you want a nice drop& if you're on a budget. just do the spring. and save up $ for next set of tires. And depends on what tires you'r going to use..treadware..blah blah.. most tires with "budget drop" should last you about 10k miles (max), IMO if you're not planning to keep the car ,then this is the best way to go.
Yeah whereas the Tanabe's drop is nice and low, its also decently comfortable. I'm going to be buying the H&R springs b/c I want it lower and dont need coilovers.
smallpaul, were you able to get camber back in spec? Are you on 20's? can you describe you ride quality etc. ? is the documented drop actually given? On 19's would i slightly tuck or no?
Yeah guys, I'm also looking at the H&R springs only to drop my car but am also wondering about the camber......especially to avoid another feathering issue.
thx.

For the front I wouldnt really worry about camber, I never had any serious feathering issues and slammed a little over 2" and with negative 2 degrees my tires lasted me 25K miles. But if you did want to help your front camber about .5 degree more positive you could go with some of the front control arms offered from Kinetix, Hotchkis or 350 Evo, you'll have to decide if its worth it to you. On the rear I would recommend www.iapdirect.com for their rear camber/toe kit, it consists of larger eccentric bolts for toe and camber arms I have these I like it better than the Kinetix arms for rear camber/toe adjustment, which I also have. Good luck with your suspension

As far as I know, H&R only make one set of springs for the 350Z. They're suppose to give you 1.1 drop in the front and 1.3 in the rear. How did yours end up 1.5 all the way around?......Just curious that's all.
