Default Noob question for those on 20s

Just installed 20 inch rims on my Z which is at stock height. So far only a few monster truck references ...but overall it looks great.

So of course I want to drop it..at least a little bit. For those who are on 20s ..what did you use.. just springs (brand name) and then get an alignment?

I do not want negative camber or have my car look like how the delorean looked as Doc told Marty that where they are going..they don't need roads.

Appreciate the help. Thanks.

After looking at some... 2.6 in front 1.8 in the rear (give or take a .something on the front) is about where I want to be.

So, when buying coilovers or springs.. I assume when you buy them.. it comes with the whole kit..basically everything you need?

You are going to need camber arms and toe bolts as they do not come with your c/o package. Look to spend around 2K, unless you getting it second hand.

You should buy this setup.. the seller is kind of a d-bag though..

Umbrella Cup kit and KW V3 Coilvers

Seriously though I ran this setup for 2 years. Stock camber arms in front and spc camber/toe bolts in the rear. Was like -2.5 and -3 front and rear..

Wheel specs are 20x9.5 +1 with 225/35 and 20x10.5 -12. 255/35 Yokohoma S-Drives.
