Awesome. I was thinking about getting springs, and I'm thinking you made my mind up. Thanks man.

Did you have to get a camber kit? How long did it take for them to settle?
I'm asking because I just ordered the same springs.

Looks good. I was on the fence about getting prokits but I think I'm sold on them now. I like the minimal gap as I'm not real keen on tucking the tires inside the fender.

+1 Do you need a camber kit with pro-kit springs?

more often than not, yes you need a camber kit for the rear.

The only springs that 99.99999% of the time don't need camber kits are the Hotchkis and Tein S-Techs.

Varies from car to car. 9 times outta 10 you'll need the rear kit, the front you may get away with.

I'm about to migrate to the Eibach pro kit. I'm too low for the norcal roads (just moved).

Here's a video of the older version of my car on the Eibach sportline kit (with stock shocks). It's really low and requires a camber kit. Depending on your tastes and budget, though, you could get away without a camber kit for the pro or sportline kits.

Also, I second the notion that the ride is quite smooth with the Eibach kit and stock spring combo. The car retains the athletic feel that makes it the Z, imo.

Eibachs are not bouncy but they are very stiff, I have had experience with both Eibach and Hotchkis. Either way, nice drop man

Norcal roads are straight out of a disaster movie. Doesn't help that there is a budget crisis EVERY year.

G'day, good looking ride. Do you know what your offsets are on your wheels?
Cheers.
