I'm using tein s-techs. Didnt need a camber kit. I think the drop is about .6-.7 all the way around. Not a slammed look but perfect for me....drew

Did they get the alignment to factory specs or was it "close"?

1 inch drop will need toe correction for sure...no way around it, even with stock wheels. Camber will be more than stock, but not bad.

RSR was a good option, but cannot be had, at least for the time being till they are reorganized. S Tech's are a good option and work very nicely on the Z

The Nismo spring and shock setup does not need a camber kit at all. I got it aligned to almost factory specs.

+1 For the GF210, fantastic spring. Almost a year with them on, no issues whatsoever. Has the perfect drop. Do a search on them, have yet to see a negative review.
