im thinking ov lowering my z does any1 no ov any good kits also i heard it will alter the camber and scrub the tyres off wots the best way round this.

http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=29517 is a good place to start off!

cheers for that m8

It does alter the camber, it does scrub the tyres, it makes it an arse to drive round town over potholes, speedhumps become you sworn enemy and you will have to see a chyropracter after a few hundred miles. But it does make the car look and handle a lot better, easier to control a drift as it stays flatter. Do it.

any suggestions how to sort the camber so it doesnt scrub tyres?

Hello Phil,

 

I don't think it happens to everyone. Mine has 18's on it and has been lowered and I have absolutely no problems with uneven tire wear.

hello ive had lowering kits on cars before and never had any probs like,

but someone told me if ya fit a lowering kit it alters the camber the man who i bought my alloys off had a z and the tyres were scrubbed off cos his was lowered too.

Hello Phil,

 

I agree it can happen but I was just saying it's not the rule. Anyways, this is what you'll need - http://www.courtesyparts.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=CP&Product_Code=Z32-ARM or you can buy cheaper kits that use metal shims and longer bolts :)

it does happen, mines been lowered and the front camber is negative by 2 degrees (which is alot) and thers nothing i can do about as the stock setup isnt adjustable, have to get new parts=more spending

so basically its gonna cost a fortune too lower it a 1" or 2

Yup, but nothings cheap on these cars!!
