Hi, I have an 08 touring coupe Z, and I am looking forward to dropping it a little, NOT slammed

First thing is first, I don't know if anything changed from 07 to 08 in suspension.

So, after searching and reading many posts, I have decided to put up my own Q for an 08 and seek an advise.

1. I would like to avoid a use of camber kit, so, it seems like my best bet on springs are hotchkis or s-tech.

2. for shocks, I would like to keep it stock, but if I were to change it, I would prob go d-spec. (or even HP blue depending on some advises in advance )


My thoughts.

1. hotchkis spring + d-spec/HP
2. s-tech + d-spec/HP
3. hotchkis spring on OEM shocks
4. s-techs on OEM shocks.

At the moment, my Z would be my daily driver, and I do not plan to participate much in autoX/track events (at least for now )

thanks,


Jason

 

Well you than have answered your own question. Good luck.

 

Lmao....

Every car is aligned different. Your best bet is to install it and see what camber you end up with in the back, if your close to -2 you should be ok. Some people need a camber kit and some dont. By the time i realized i needed a camber kit for my IS250 it was too late all my tires were eaten up in the inside in about 5000 miles. I had the eibach pro on it.

 

How are new Cobbs spring?
they sound quite suited for 07 with stock shocks with a nice drop,
AND prob not need a rear camber

can anyone verify this?

 

Mine is down about .8" from stock, looks awesome, hotchkis sways but KW Variant2 coilovers did the trick. Great cornering, rides like a sportscar should. By the way, outside of the new red, there is absolutely no difference in the 07-08.

 

i ended up with cobb springs.
for me, it is a perfect drop and
also a great enhanced feel since i am not into too much competitive tracking at the moment.

i would infact get sway bars as my next mod when i get some $$

 

This system is proven to be the most effective and inexpensive way to get the lowered look you may be looking for

This coming Saturday I am installing S-Tech + Tokico HP (blue). I will let you know how it turns out! I have SPC camber/toe kit, but we will see if I can get in spec without it first (likely, S tech is only .6/.7").
