Question Suspension MOD Choices?

I have read several posts that suggest that lowering my Z more than .8 creates a real problem with the camber. Having said that, Now I am looking for a good set of springs to lower my Z.

I am somewhat budget minded but do NOT want to reduce the handling of the stock suspension. There are many inexpensive springs on the market. I guess my question is how do I know which, if any, of the inexpensive springs are good quality.

Has anyone done any research on this and if so please share what you have found!

Thanks
Scott

i am running eibach prokit but it may be a bit more than a .8 inch drop, plus you can do a search there are a lot of topics on this.

Are you using the factory shocks or did you have to replace them to use these springs?

You may be on a unrevised suspenison, so the Nismo kit will also do away with your oem shocks and the bad behaviors they are known for. Unless your car has the revised suspension.

My car is a 2006. I think the tire wear issues were resolved with this model. So I am fairly sure I have the new suspension.

Ok then, sorry I was going by your Join date of apr 2004. I wasn't talking about tire feathering but 03/04 ride quality issue of excessive bounce and freeway porposing. You of course do not have those shocks.
