Do you know what the specs were? Or did they just tell you ya need a camber kit?

Yea I was helping them with the alignment I'm friends with the guy that owns the shop. Front camber was -1.5 on the left and -1.1 on the right. Rear camber was -2.5 on the left and -2.5 on the rear. OEM Nismo specs are -.58 front and -1.58 rear.

I recieved my SPC camber kit but haven't taken it in for the install. I'm waiting on a few other things to come in so I can have it all installed in one trip to the shop. probably sometime next week

cool, good luck. please fill us in.

ive decided to install my springs this weekend then give them a week to settle and take it in to get an alignment. i have a 3 year wheel alignment with NTB im going to take FULL advantage of.

Ive been thinking of getting these springs as well, but I am worried about my F.I. exhaust system. A buddy of mine dropped his 370z low with the F.I. exhaust and now one of his cans is oval in shape :eek: Hopefully for myself, just doing the Tein springs wont lower it too much so that I can still drive around without scraping my beautiful exhaust.

Your signature says you have a F.I. exhaust but your pictures say otherwise, if you havnt gotten it installed yet, keep me updated on how it drives with the springs when you do.

That is beautiful. It looks like there is a good balance between ride height and driveability for the sake of your Nismo fascia! Did you get an alignment done afterwards? You definately got a steal on the labor rates though.

Wow big difference with the drop and wider tires! Nismo Z is looking good!

I just installed my F.I. exhaust last friday... No scraps yet at all. if i do scape I feel the front splitter is more troublesome than my cans... I've pulled into a few driveways and went over some speedbumps without any issues

Yea shops around here are pretty cheap. Paid an exhaust place $75 for HFC install and $75 for my F.I. exhaust install. Most of the mods I've done I've noticed I've paid considerably less than most people here on the forum.

christian370z 07-27-2010 01:21 AM

No kidding, I would pay that kind of labor rates just because it is so cheap. Lucky for you though, even better of an excuse for more mods!

Alright good, I've been waiting for a test dummy to come along with a F.I. exhaust and the Stech springs to make sure there are no issues :tup:

I guess I know what my next mod is!

Oh btw, on the topic of installation costs... I paid $60 to get my F.I. test pipes and exhaust installed :)

exhaust is easy. springs and shocks are a bitch. i would have charged ya $50;)

CFZ 08-03-2010 04:21 PM

Aren't Teins spring rates almost identical to the stock nismo rates?
