Default Lowering my 350z - what do you recommend? Pics available

Hi, I recently got Axis 19x9.5 installed in my rear, and I now have a whell gap because I got low profile tires.

I would like to lower my car by changing the springs. I've been looking at either Tein (.6 inch rear drop) or Tanabe (1.2 inch rear drop) .

I'm leaning towards the Tanabe's because I think the gap is big, but will such a drop mess up my cambers? What do you guys think I should get and why?

I have attached pics of my car.

Hotchkis-chances are you wont need camber arms/toe bolts to get back into alignment spec and they are designed to work with stock shocks. Little under 1" drop, look good and for around $135 they're like a sore d!ck you cant beat it....

it looks like you're running the "wrong" profile tires...what tire sizes do you have in the rear? They look smaller than they should be...the standard size should be 275/35/19...

I would go with Swift. It's a Japanese company. It's gonna give your a .8"F and .6"R drop.

Reading this page sold me on Swift:
