everything needed for a drop

hey guys. i had a quick question. im about to purchase a set of stance coilovers for my 2008 g37s. i plan on going pretty low with this set up. my question is, what else besides a camber kit, would i need for a proper set up that would allow me to bring my specs back to factory settings (or as much as i can) when i get an alignment done..thanks in advance!

Front and rear cambers will get you back to spec no problem. SPACERS to push the wheel out for looks (If that's important and you like the flush look)

Maybe custom made? If you have a lot of money to burn get some custom ohlins or something. My cousin has them on his evo and they are top notch

depending on how slammed you are. you may or may not get your camber back into specs.

the Stance coilovers is available for the Nissan 370Z and will work for our cars.

What weiboy said. If you slam the **** out of your car your wheels will get really tucked, so if you straighten out the camber of the wheels youll start to rub. I dropped mine enough th have about a 2 finger gap between the tire and fender. Before you slam it try that, it makes the car look way better and you may like it more then a slam

OP, if you plan on slamming the car, it will be difficult to ever get back to factory specs, but with the camber kit and a good alignment you can get close. Also, my boy, Tomie (TomieG), is slammed on Stance GR+ coilovers...
