to low?

lookin around at lowering springs....noticed that you can get springs with up to a 1.6" drop...you think thats to low? i mean i was looking at Zcarninja's car and it looks pretty low with only 1" drop...

okay, for the rear camber, i will try the motorsport auto rear camber kit, which is 45 dollars per wheel. The 1.6 drop is pretty low though, so i might hane to fab up a new camber kit (maybe adjustable?!) for the rear. For the front, Z31.com says ground control makes camber plates. I couldn't find any info on ground control's sight, so custom plates might have to be made there too. AS for shocks, the stock ones will have to work for now, but I plan on going with Tokico Illumina adjustables.

Oh yeah, my springs are on a boat over from europe right now. On that boat there are 3 sets of Z31 springs. At the time that I ordered, 1 of the 3 sets were reserved. I reserved another set, leaving 1 set left, and B&G apperently doesn't stock them in the US.

Yeah, It might be best to wait, but I am going to go ahead and order the 1.5 for both wheels. I hope that thats enough, otherwise it will be a long winter.
