Lowering the 350Z
I have some questions about lower our cars...
1) is it ok to just use a spring ex: eibach, tien, etc.?
2) how will just a spring effect the suspention?
3)Where can I get a good deal on the Nismo suspension set-up?
4) how will the camber be effected on our car?
thanks for you help guys

Tein S-Techs, love them. No camber issues. Camber issues come up if you lower the Z more than 1inch, then you'll need a camber kit.

the teins it says will lower you .6 in the rear and .7 in the front. But my car already looks fine in the front and just looks like it needs a little in the rear. Does anyone have pics of a car with the tein kit on?
here is my car now

man the hotchkis are way cheaper and they are like the reverse of the teins, lowering about .6 in the front and .75 in the rear. Why are they cheaper is there any trade off?
