Lowering Springs on a Nismo?

yea im trying to save a buck. I know I'll do coilovers eventually but have some other mods I'm sinking my money into right now but still want to drop a lil and was just curious if anyone had tried just springs on the nismo

Thanks for the input i ordered the Tein S Techs today, It's supposed to give about the same drop as the eibach but not as drastic as the H&Rs

Is it necessary to get the camber arms with H&R's springs?

Yes. In order to achieve the correct alignment specs (camber and toe) it would be the best idea to have the adjustable camber arms.... especially with the more drastic lowering springs like the H&R.

I didn't..I want to let it settle for a bit before I get it aligned..I'll update to let u know if I get in spec without the arms..honestly I REALLY don't think u need them but we'll see.

this setup is low..prepare to scrape everything..looks to be about a 2inch drop in front and 1.5inch rear..its perfect!!

Drama, lemme know how the Stechs go. I'm very interested in them as well. Thanks!

Had them installed yesterday and couldn't be happier. Not sure how they'd be with stock shocks on a regular z but on my nismo they feel better in every way. And the drop is exactly what I was lookin for... Noticeable but not too much. Goin with an FI exhaust and didn't wanna risk scrapin... Not to mention I live in Indiana where the roads are anything but flat. Hope this helps let me know if u want more info. Oh I found sets on eBay for $198 free shipping so check that out.
