If you'll be lowering the car you'll eventually need more parts than you think.

- camber arms F/R to get the numbers you want
- sway bars are nice to have
- If you get stiffer sways and lower the car, you'll need endlinks because the stock ones can't handle the angle/load. I belive it's mostly the front ones but I changed F/R anyway.

It's like anything else, once you change something, you end up having to change other parts because of it.

But I'd suggest that you could get a better coilover. Cusco Zero2 for $1050 shipped. https://my350z.com/forum/suspension/360361-cusco-zero-2-suspension-and-volk-gt-m-wheels.html

just a suggestion...as mistico stated, you'll have to change out a lot of things when buying coilvers, but this isn't the case if you go with the nismo s-tune suspension. You could have pretty good handling AND you can be worry free about replacing camber arms, end links, etc. The downside is that you can't adjust the height of your ride with the nismo, and the drop that you do get isn't very substantial (0.6 inches all around).
