New Wheels/Tires, need lowering spring advice!
Hey all,
I have a few questions for you all. I just got a new wheel setup on my 03 Z. Picked up some 20" TSW Thruxtons, in the following sizes:
Front: 20x8.5, offset 20
Rear: 20x10, offset 35
I have the Falken FK452 tires, in the following sizes:
Front: 245/35/20
Rear: 275/35/20
After installing the wheels (and I knew this going into it) my Z sits a little higher. The wheels fill the wheel wells pretty good, but it is definitely going to need to be lowered. In my car's case with the big wheels, I think that too much of a drop wouldn't work, so I am looking for advice on some lowering springs that will work with this setup. I was also wondering about this "camber kit" I keep hearing about. I know that I will need an alignment when the drop is done, but will I need an aftermarket kit for adjustment or can it be done stock? Thanks in advance guys! A pic of my car is below...

pick up a set of coilovers and see how low u can go.. if u get springs and it is too low.. then u gotta take em off and sell them. with coilovers u can find the exact height u need. 1" drop looks good for those.
