Default Eibach pro-kit

Can someone tell me about this kit? I want to lower the car a little bit and get a smoother ride. I dont want it to be low enought that i worry when going over a speed bump. Is this the right kit?

Try the Tein S-tune springs. A friend had the Eibachs but had problems with the speed bump in his area. He changed to the Tein and didn't have any problems but still got a nice dropped look.

I'ver got Eibachs and haven't had any problems with bumps.

If you get the Eibachs, you will most likely need a camber kit.... TEINs should give ya a subtle drop, I don't know how low you want to go tho..

i think if u get the eibachs and dont lower more than an inch, u should be ok without camber. might need to get alignment, but probably not.

camber is the degrees at which the wheel tilts to perpendicular. they sell camber kits to adjust it. i think for the z, 1inch is the max before needing a camber kit
