H&R Springs Anyone ?

My understanding is that toe is what causes most tire wear. The springs do really lower the front by 1.3 and I haven't had any problems scrapping but I drive

My understanding is that toe is what causes most tire wear. The springs do really lower the front by 1.3 and I haven't had any problems scrapping but I drive slow and carefully. You will probably scrap If you have steep driveways or the driveway that is curved. My z is my daily car too but I avoid steep driveways.

The picture in your signature is while you had the BC coilovers. Did the H&R springs take you as low as what it looks like in that picture?

Yeah, the H&R brought it to about the same height, maybe 3 mm lower.

Hey guys,

I am more than likely going with the H&R's. I am just concerned with the front camber wear. I had upper control arms on my G and it was all good.

I am pretty sure anything over an inch you should have front control arms. Can anybody report back with what kind of tire wear they are having from the front with these springs and factory arms?

I see most of you guys are not running the front kit but I just want to see if it is worth the extra money to save the tires or just get new tires sooner than usual.

Thanks in advance guys.
