SPC front kit. Bad product or do I need it?

I think I am ready to buy the KW v3 coilovers with appropriate spacers for the wheel wells. I was going to order the front kit along the rear. However

Default SPC front kit. Bad product or do I need it?

I think I am ready to buy the KW v3 coilovers with appropriate spacers for the wheel wells. I was going to order the front kit along the rear. However in further reading, one of our sponsors will NOT sell the fronts. So I read up on the 350z.com forum and it looks like he might be right.

Questions:

anyone has them on the 370z?

If my drop is no more than 1", do I need the fronts? I do put 60 miles on my car per day.

Do I need the rear kit?

Again I do 60 miles/day.


Thanks

You don't need the front camber kit. Just the rear camber/toe kit from SPC is more than enough for a 1 inch drop.

Go for a bigger drop....lol

Camber kit in the rear should be fine.. let us know if we can help with dialing the ride height in conjunction with corner weighting, if you're planning on leaving your setup in for a long time (aka not adjusting things constantly for track days, etc.)

Always nice to dial in ride heights and alignment with driver via corner weights..

Corner balancing is my number 1 requirement. Almost a year ago I posted my concern about why people never talk about corner weighting. I think most members were not concerned about it...... I guess I am one of the exceptions!
