So if one were to use 03 350Z springs with D-specs would a camber kit be needed?

I am looking at some shocks on ebay for replacement but I dont want them to be the same as my stock ones in 2 months.. What is a good shocks, good price but will work with lowered 350z's?

You might be out of spec in the front, but you should be within the G coupe's slightly more aggressive specs.

OK....here's a question...and sorry if the info is out there, but I searched and couldn't find anything.

Here is what I am running:

Front 245/40/18 x 8.0 +20
Rear 275/40/18 x 9.5 +20

If I get the Hotchkis TVS I will I have and rubbing issues?

Is this true? Ive been looking into a Eibach 1 inch kit, the stock ride height looks like my worst nightmare and coilovers arent in my budget. I live in florida and twisties are not popular, mainley just light to light and highway riding.

Thanks a bunch guys. -chris-

Just make sure you don't have to replace any Tanabe parts....because they WILL SCREW YOU!!!
