Default Greddy type s coilovers with hotchkis sways a good combo? Camber question..

I'm looking to get coilovers and sway bars for my 2004.5 track edition 350z.

I'm was doing some research on these greddy type s coilovers since I'm getting them for a good deal.

Some key points on these coilovers.

Mono Tube Shock Design
32 way adjustable dampening
Adjustable Spherical Bearing Upper Mounts? (Not sure if the 350z application has this to adjust camber)
10k front and 8k rear

I see they do have a thick billet upper mounts on a website. Does this mean I don't need to buy front camber arms to fix the camber?

As for the rear camber arms I'm probably going with SPC.

Now for the sways, hotchkis looks like its the way to go for street use and it's affordable. I'm not sure what are the specs on the front sways for the 04.5 track edition Z in comparison to hotchkis. Would this be a good set up for these greddy coilovers?

Please let me know your opinions.

Thanks

Eric

I believe you would still need to get camber arms (A-Arms) in order to adjust the fronts properly.

As far as the sway bar, I am not to sure what you are asking but when I had the hotchkis, I thought they were pretty good. Make sure you get the revised edition with the extra mounting holes.

Also if you are looking for coilovers and a- arms , let me know. I posted my JIC's up and SPC A Arms in the NE section.

The guy who I'm getting the coilovers from said he isn't running any camber correction kits (front/rear) and no camber wear on his tires either..

Well it would depend on how much of a drop he / you will be going for.

i ran them with rear spc camber arms and i had no problem with them. my tires don't have any major camber wear and the ride on the road was nice. they are great coilovers bro. you should look up member "finalforce" he is running the same coilovers and i pm'd him all the questions i had about the coils.

Ok. Great thanks for the info. So you didn't use any camber arms for the front?
