With Eibach, you will need camber kit since it lowered more than .8 inches.

you are kidding right??? you are going to let gas station installed lowered spring for you????

I think it's the best if you can find a experience tunning shop to do that for you. I will not let gas station do this type of job, most of them never even heard of Eibach. I will not let dealer do aftermarket installation also, unless they are very experienced with aftermarket product, like performace nissan in CA.

I had mine installed about 2 -3 months now. I had camber adjusted as much as it will allow via OEM cambers. It's not bad. handles great. I would take it to NTB - for 120$ you get 3 years of unlimited alignement. that means that if you choose to buy camber later, you can get it readjusted for free... good luck!!

Any decent mechanic should be able to install your springs. The 350 is actually one of the easiest to do.. Also, you will need to get an allignment after you drive on the springs for about a week, and you can get the rear camber just about into spec without camber rods even with the 1" drop.

From a historic review of owner spring installs, the vast majority of owners cannot return the Z to be within oem alighment specs when lowered past .8". Add to this the fact that Eibach has a long history of dropping car's equipped with their springs past the amount their specs say they drop the car, that history has shown up on Z's and G's alike. But since we have a owner here that states he won't do any aftermarket camber correction, he'll get what he can get using the oem adjustment system. Which is doubtfull will be within spec. But certainly getting the car aligned is a must after the spring install.
