Default Question(s) about lowering my Z???

I just bought 20 inch wheels and I want to lower my Z. I'm getting Eibach lowering springs. I'm planning to lower it 1 inch. What is the lowest I can drop it without getting camber??? How many inches should I lower it so that it would look clean??? I don't want it too low that it would be merely impossible to get up driveways. If anyone could help me out I would greatly appreciate it, THANKS!!!!

The stock Z has negative camber especially in the rear. So if you lower it, you will definintely increase the negative camber. I think an inch will increase it a little if you don't want to alter camber too bad I recommend the tein springs.

+1 for max 1" drop w/out having to buy extra parts to fix camber issues.

for a clean look, it's also going to depend on your rim (width, offset) and tires (width, profile)...since you're not wanting to lower it too much, you could get a slightly larger aspect ratio to reduce the wheel gap; not sure what they'd be w/out more details...
