Default Need some advice

Im going to be ordering some 19s for my 03 350z and want to drop it an inch, Id like to know not the cheapest but a less expensive way of doing it since my funds arent exactly that great at the moment.

cheapest way to drop a car is to cut the stock springs but I really wouldn't do that. You have no choice man, just shell out the $$$ for some nice springs. If you can afford some 19" wheels and tires then I don't see how another ~$150 would be out of reach.

Springs are the cheapest way to lower the car.

Invision Performance is a forum sponsor, and sell one of the best springs IMO for 150 shipped (Tanabe GF210). Then when you can get a rear camber kit. You can get them just about anywhere.

Please post pix as soon as you can. I've been debating between the 280s in titanium and the 279s in Hyperblack. What color are you getting? It seems like the only ones who have them and have posted pix have had the chrome version, which isn't my style. Also, where in NC are you? I'm in Winston-Salem.
