Hotchkis: slightly too mild of a drop for me.
Tein: dont like how it lowers more in front, also too mild.
Eibach prokit: good drop, but been hearing camber issues? more roll than stock?
tanabe gf210: good drop also, but heard theyre good only if upgrading shocks and struts?? plz help me out on this one.

i'm looking for approx 1" drop. this is mainly for looks, but dont wanna ruin performance. i'm leaning towards the GF210, but im not upgrading any other suspension stuff. so basically, i want something that wont create any problems, wont require additional upgrades and will work perfectly on a stock Z.

thanks!

I'm also in the market for new springs and I'm leaning toward the GF210's. My brother has them on his Z with stock struts/shocks and hasn't had any issues so far. I'm just trying to get rid of the factory 4x4 look.

I have the GF210 and I did not do any camber/toe adjustment mods. All you will need to do is an alignment back to factory specs and you will be fine. I would recommend to do a second alignment after the spring settles.

GF210 drop after springs are settled

how long after should the 2nd alignment be done?

I have the gf210 they ride GREAT!!! perfect drop imo

let the springs settle for about two weeks or 1000miles then get the alignment

everything was to spec when my car was aligned no camber issues

I just bought the GF210's yesterday and I'm awaiting delivery. From what I've read and the experience of my brother you can run these on stock struts and shocks and they can bring it "almost" into spec with a 4 wheel alignment. I'll let you know as soon as I get them installed.

andy or blackzero

please post a scan or copy of your alignment.

all the experience on this board is that a drop of 1" or more will have alignment issues with the stock components, except for a few posters like yourselves. More members post problems with that drop than those that don't.

I am not saying your wrong. With all respect, I just want to see proof.

thanks

i just had an alignment done, my rear was around -2.4 and -2.7 and the toe was out, they werent able to adjust the rear camber, it was all the way out. They put the toe back in to spec and the front was still in spec

Hotchkis are also worth looking into
