I haven't heard from the guy with Eibachs. His must have worked out pretty good but they don't drop the car as much.
yeah I had a chance to get some new eibachs on a group buy but i didn't think the drop was worth it. I really like h&r. Do you think I will need front or rear camber kit?

I'm fine with the 1" front and .5" rear on eibachs.

864Zbeast 04-10-2012 11:49 AM
Would I be able to see a difference on a non nismo?

Did you buy camber kit for your car and is it hard to install

I'm pretty sure clemsonwill has camber kit because in his signature it says SPC. Idk if thats front, rear, or both though.

With either sprint or H&R you are going to probably want camber arms in the rear if you want to get back to stock settings. Some have gotten it close without them. They are just going to have a slight bit of camber wear.

I have rear camber arms (no front) and no it's not hard to install.

864Zbeast 04-10-2012 01:32 PM
I kinda want to go h&r springs and get rear camber kit with my new wheels. My wheels are 19x9.5 and 255 tires front. 19x11 and 305 tires rear.


Ps every shop wants 400-500 install. :( I can't do that right now. Wish I could do it myself but I want it done right.

Is 4-500 just for install of the springs and camber arms? That seems high. If you have a lift and spring compressor, it should not take more than 2.5 hours. The rears take 5 minutes each.

My spring compressor wasn't strong enough for the fronts so we had to take the front strut and spring to a shop so they could swap the springs out. Only cost $50 each time. If you can find a shop that is willing to do it then this is the way to go. Just make sure you know the shop does good work and they get everything back together correctly.

864Zbeast 04-10-2012 07:12 PM
Sounds good will. I checked on z1 and SPC rear camber is $88 each side so $176 total. That sound right for everything I need? Also, do u think that my wheels/tires would rub with h&r springs? 19x9.5 255 front and 19x11 305 rear.

Yes, make sure the shop knows what they're doing. Or your car will sit in your buddy's driveway for a week. Right, Will? Haha

What are the offsets? I have 19x9.5 +22 with 265s and 10.5 +12 305s. Only rubbing i had was this little bump in the front fender lining. The tires wore it done and I have no issues now. So I'm thinking you will be fine given your rear offset isn't too low.

Thanks man. I'm really gonna try to make it to that mountain run and I want to have this done by then.

ClemsonWill 04-11-2012 10:05 AM
Whether you have it done or not you should definitely come out. It's a good time.

My_third_Z 04-11-2012 11:13 AM
You coming out tonight Jay?

ClemsonWill 04-11-2012 01:14 PM
I'm going to make it out for a few minutes tonight. I won't be able to stay for dinner but at least I can stop by.

Jeremy, You still thinking about doing the mountain cruise on the 28th?

Nice turnout tonight! Until all those damn Evos came out. Haha

stephen 04-12-2012 12:35 AM
No joke jeremy but they are nice just slow

ClemsonWill 04-12-2012 07:43 AM
Wow, I was impressed with the turnout. Even some ladies showed up. Good job Stephen! I wish I could have been there but I just had too much going on. Hopefully next time.

Spotted a red 370 on my way home yesterday. Of course I don't have my car because I am still waiting on new wheels, and it made me miss my Z that much more :(. It had sports package, black rear diffuser, jdm brake light, maybe lowered? Never seen it before around here. It was passing duke power in Oconee County on 183 and went into Keowee Key. Car looked like it belonged on the forums.
