Default Initial set-up specs

I am having my bc coilovers installed along with my rpf1's and new Dunlops (275/35R 255/35F) next week.

I went to the shop and he was asking how much drop I wanted to run and he was looking up(but never found) previous 350z specs.

I will be DD'ing as well as tracking a few times this summer.

What is a happy medium for front and rear drop w/camber specs(rear) to accomplish the above and look right?

EDIT* I also have endlinks and sways which were insalled last season. I know it has no bearing on looks, but just thought I'd mention the full suspension set-up.

I take it you on 19's do to tire sizes posted. Since your tracking your car do not lower it much, over about 1 inch drop starts to screw up geometry badly. Roll center, camber gain etc etc, 3/4 to 1 inch seems to be a good compramize is looks and handling.

I run my car dropped about between 15 to 20mm

18's actually. 255/35 front 275/35 Rear Star specs. 275 i think is the widest they go, but it is a wider tire than most 275's
