When I did it dropped my camber down to -3.5. If you have a very aggressive offset it doesn't look too bad but you'll get very bad wear. The toe will also be way off, which you'll need the aftermarket toe bolts to fix.

The front drops down to around -2.5 camber but the toe can get back into spec with factory hardware.

Hmmm..... Im putting TE37's with a +22 offset its not that aggressive.

Basically i want the GF's but i dont know if im going to need the camber rods or not. I know for sure the camber kit is crucial but i wasn't sure about the rods, but oh well. As long as it helps camber they wont hurt..... well, as long as the price is right atleast. Sign me up

Actually Im going to have to back out. Unless I can get some different springs. After thinking it over and reading about another members problems with the amuse and diffuser with these springs, Im going to have to go with the tein s techs or the hotchkis springs. Miguel, let me know if he can get those

What I meant was that when you have a 1" drop in the front with the amuse bumper and the diffuser you are left with about 2" or so of clearence. I kept reading comments on how every three months they need to repaint the lip and bumper because of scraping causing the diffuser to make the bumper flex at the mounting points causing cracks in the paint. I would actually rather not lower the front of the car at all since I think it sits pretty low as is. But I think a mild drop in the front like .6 or so, and may a combo of the hotchkis springs lowering rate of .7 I believe in the rear along with the spring mount mod would allow a good look out back, and yet have some clearance in the front for the diffuser to not hit as much. I dont know. Im sure Rob will talk me into going with the gf's again.

I'm going to throw my 2 cents in on this situation you guys are having.... I used to have a TA before the Z.. That thing was Slammed, like you wont believe.. My front end, barely had two inches of clearance, and the sides, you couldnt even get your foot under the car.... I know my front end had some chips in it because that is normal wear and tear on a car... If you take care of the car and dont drive crazy and are careful when parking, you shouldnt have a problem with it other than normal wear.... I mean I have the same problem with the Nismo with chips...... Its all normal....

Im not saying that Im not used to that, I had a eclipse that had about 2" of clearance and it was a pain in the ***. I could not go over speed bumps in some places, I would have to go on the grass around them. I would just rather not go a full inch in the front. Im still thinking it over...
