im hopefully going to do a review on the stance Gr+. As of now i've got the tanabe sustec springs that have lowered my car to about 3 inches. too low for me now!!! I'm going thru tires like crazy with no camber kit, and i've decided to do a good suspension mod and in turn fix my camber aswell.

My question is, since stance GR+'s have camber plates, will that fix my camber problem once i get it aligned at a shop? i have no camber kit installed on my car right now.

so far i've read that the camber plates are pretty much useless due to the double wishbone suspension.

 

I don't believe the GR+'s have camber plates. Some of their coilovers for other cars do but not for the 350Z.

How in the hell did the springs lower your car 3"

 

lol.... i originally bought the tanabe sustec springs with a 2.5 inch drop, now being 2 years over the have gone down a bit..... it sucks b/c whenever i go over a speed bump my car scrapes underneath ( freaky feeling).

I'm honestly really buying the coilovers b/c i want my car to sit higher and fix my stupid camber!!! (and the ride quality will just be a plus

 

I thought the Tanabes were like 1.7F/1.5R, that's crazy low for springs.

Haha my stock suspension was as low as Zs with springs with about 100k miles on it.

 

How much drop are you looking for? I would think that getting a set springs with the right drop and the camber adj. parts would be cheaper than the coilover route.

 

you think so? i was thinking that too, but will the camber plates help me on the coilovers? if they will then im set!

i want a 2 inch drop......

 

The Stance coilovers don't have camber plates.

 

i was thinking...

 

stance doesnt have camber plates? the shop that i'm getting them from told me they do.... now the problem begins......

 

Nope. The ones for the 240s do but not the 350Z. I used to own em

You can check the website and you'll see they don't have the adjustments on it.

 

so best bet is to just do stance gr+ and rear camber kit with alignment.....

 

Yeah if you want to go ahead and upgrade to coilovers. Pretty much what I did.

 

same thing i have. i love it

 

No coilover for the Z will have camber plates, you need buy front camber arms to fix the camber problem.

 

i have the stange GR+
you need front and rear camber kits with it.

Cost: very expensive compared to new springs and kits.

Spring route:
300 for springs
400+200 for front and rear camber kits
200 ish for intall... probably.
100 alignment

Coilover route:
1200 for GR+ (no camber plates on the coilovers...)
600 for front and rear kits
600 ish for install..
100 alignment

Stay away from the SPC camber kits. <--- horrible products.
Go SPL.


also, one more suggestion, springs on stock struts are a waste of money. Even though the GR+ will cost a lot more, save your money and buy those. In the end, lowering springs will destroy stock struts and you will have to buy new suspension.



ive been through the whole process.

 

what shop?
you know that TH motorsports is in Illinois right? they are a sponsor here. contact them/

 

Where you at in IL cipher. Are you part of ChicagoZ.

A bunch of us members have Stance's....okay not a lot but some of us. THMotorsports is where I got my GR+ Pro's and SPC rear camber arms. Great guys to deal with.

 

yeah chicagoz....... my buddy just opened up a new shop, he is actually hooking me up like crazy, im saving about $500 with the coilovers and installation combined. ok stance Gr+ it is!! is there still that clunking issue? i should have them on in a week.

 

+1 great guys.

but do you have front kit as well? if so is it SPC?

 

I don't have any clunking issues as I went w/ the OEM setup. Not the true coilover setup. The OEMs, as far as I've heard do not have the clunking issue.

I'm not running a front camber kit right now and I'm dropped damn low in the front and my tires are doing fine. The rear I have an SPC rear camber kit and toe bolt.

Can't wait to see pics man.
