WOW that's actually a bigger drop than I expected, more than advertised for the Tein's... that's for sure..!!

Would you still recommend these springs if you had to do it again, since these actually offer one of the mildest drops around.

That seems like an aweful lot 1.5", and I just ordered mine..

Did you use a camber kit in both the front and rear or just the rear?

soooo your saying you lowered the front and the camber didnt change??? how can the factory height be set with perfect camber settings, and still be "perfect" after you lowered the car??

after my tein drop my front camber is now -1.6 degrees w/out camber adjustability. just sayin

The tech, which by the way a lot of modded cars go to, showed me the screen. The alignment was right on spec with the OEM specs. I told him initially that I might need Camber Kits for either front or rear, and just try to get it back to spec as much as possible... ended up not needing the kits after the alignment was done.

I noticed no one with a non-nismo Z has posted alignment results for the Tein's so I'm assuming that has something to do with me not needing new arms.
