anything over an inch drop and you'll have pretty bad toe in out back - you'll need the SPC kit to fix it. Not horrible on stock wheels (unless you have a track), but gets even more pronounced with the typical wheels we run out back (wide with low offset)

only 1.1" in the rear??
My G35C has a 2" drop right now on Tanabe GF210s, and I wanted to at least be dropped 1.5" on the Tein Basics. Are you sure about the 1.1" max drop in the rear with the Basics?
*EDIT: Nevermind, I'm looking for the answer in previous discussions.

Yeah, the site says 1.0"/1.2" drop for the 350Z. But I'm in a G35, so the drop is more like 1.5"/1.7". My car did settle a lot, as after 6 months I was unable to make it through the car wash.
In any case, I was rounding off - my rear drop is definitely well over 1.5" in the rear.
