1" drop and no camber?
I don't really want a 0.6" drop with the Teins as I don't think that i'd even be able to see something that subtle. I was thinking of geting Tanabe 210's, which apparently drop by 1.0". Question: am I gonna be ok without a cambet kit? I don't really feel like spending any more money. Also, how is the quality of the Tanabe's?

Searching would show you that you shouldn't need to worry about camber when lowering a inch or less. Should still be able to be within factory specs.

diabolic - i'm on the same boat as u and i've read pretty much every tanabe gf210 post there is out there and it seems like camber issues with those springs are really case by case. some say yes, some say no. but my impression is that ppl WITH camber are slightly more than ppl without. so i'm currently considering going to hotchkis and playing it safe. ur choice.

cars are like fingerprints...no two are the same
no one can tell you that you will or will not need to realign. Remember, the factory specs that are "acceptable" vary from Nissan...meaning that the car can come with a variety of specs that are still considered in a normal range by Nissan. What's more, you are also then assuming the car was properly aligned from the factory (which I can tell you from experience is not the case). The ONLY way you'll know if you need to realign is put it on the rack post suspension installation. Anything less than that is a pure guess

The Z historically will show greater and greater instances of being out of spec when drops go past .8".
