Lowering 85 300ZX

I have an 85 300ZX I want to know if i drop it for aboout an1" drop do I still need a camber correction kit, has anyone done it?

yes, you will need a rear camber kit....

what springs are you getting?

I was thinking of putting a Suspension Techniques, but I saw another brand called Intrax and it drops about 1.5". Do you think that camber kit will still work if I drop the car that much? What about the front don't I need one?

here's the scoop....

Intrax springs will lower your car nicely, but they are known to sag after awhile on the rear.

Here are some springs that work nicely on the Z31:

1. Eibach-lowest amount of drop, .8" progressive

2. Suspension Techniques-approximate drop-1", these are Linear springs.

3.B&G spring-1.6" drop, Progressive springs

4.Whiteline Suspension-1.8" drop, biggest drop,these are Progressive springs.nice and tight rear springs.

you can get the ST springs really cheap from JC Whitney....

Also the Eibachs can be had for a nice price at www.shox.com(RD Enterprises),they also stock B&G there.

whiteline suspension springs have to be imported from Australia if no one in the USA has them...

it's best to get a camber kit for the rear for the biggest drops i suggest 1.5 degree camber kit.

the front camber is adjustable to a point.

Thanx for the info you gave me. What about the camber kits can you suggest where can I get one with good quality of course and in reasonable price. there's one I know, www.zcarparts.com .

Any pics of camber kit installation... I got one ( from Motorsport ) but don't know how to get it on place :confused: ...sorry, off topic
