Default H&R Install

Installed H&R springs and spacers last weekend and had the alignment done at the dealer this morning. Results aren't that bad as both front and rear camber are off by only .5 from stock. Fr -1.7 (stock -1.25) Rr -2.5 (stock -2.0). Caster and Toe are all within specs. Looks awesome and rides like stock. I could use stiffer springs though. The other mod that I did was trim the flaps (the ones in front of the front tires) by an inch to compensate for the front drop. Thanks to Josh and Margaret at Stillen for the parts and great customer service.

I was too lazy to bring the car out of the garage but hopefully these give you an idea... Spacers are 15 fr/ 20 rr.

You'll love the H&R set up. No offense to Eibach and Swifts spring users but the H&Rs I think give the best drop on this car.

ummm see I am actually most like going with H&R spacers front and rear, but for springs I was thinking TEIN springs or full coil-over setup, <- I have used TEIN sports on my 300zx in the past and loved the results!!!




lol picture happy haha

To OP: your stock camber/alignment was negative? Anyway, I love your setup as I have the same one too except I had Stillen put a rear camber toe kit installed.
