Default So thinking about some upgrades

Well i shouldnt say thinking about upgrades. I already bought a set of eibach lowering springs that say its about a 1 inch drop. and i picked up a typhoon cold air intake, reason being that they were being sold for 125 bucks...for both of them! So i told myself back when i bought the car, i wouldnt touch it, but here i go again!.....


also, i need new front tires, and im keeping my stock wheels, im thinking about falken 452, i believe thats what i have on the back





i have a question before i mod



After an eibach lowering of a inch or even less, will i need to worry about my camber? i know the guy prior to me didn't get a correction kit





i have included pictures of my previous car that i moded haha

350z's love a lil bit of negative camber, so go with what you like and performs best for you. i have the same springs you do but i'm going to buy a camber kit just to play around with for better set-up during track days. if you want some really nice tires i used Yokohama advan neova AD07's on my FD3S OUTSTANDING TIRES!!!! pricey but with a tread rating of 144(i can't remember) they were very sticky street tires! if your looking to save some green go with the Kumho's! also great tires just not as sticking and sidewall feels a bit softer but overall you get what you pay for!

so but so far, your camber with the springs on hasnt given you trouble with pre-mature tire wear?

Thats kinda a trade off , when your looking for performance.

Please dont mod you Z like you did your civic.
