bodyboarder Posted January 31, 2010 Posted January 31, 2010 Hi , i havent got a zed yet but when i do the first thing i want to do is get rid of that gap from the whell to the arch! Had a quick search on here and it seems that its not as easy as just putting on the springs ! What is exactly needed and how much will it cost ? If anyone has a pic of a zed with pros on is it possible to put it up? Thanks Quote
M13KYF Posted January 31, 2010 Posted January 31, 2010 with standard wheels, just putting on some wheel spacers will help fill the gap. Eibach 20mm is the norm around here. CS a trader here supplies Quote

If anyone has a pic of a zed with pros on is it possible to put it up? Thanks I know what you mean mate same thing I did. First get your eibach springs. Then you will need rear toe and camber arms. They are £150 for a pair. CS supplies them well worth it. It sounds stupid but lowering springs completly change the look of the car. It looks so much smoother. Handling wise I got uprated ARBs so Im not sure how much it helps. Quote
bodyboarder Posted January 31, 2010 Author Posted January 31, 2010 Ok thanks for that mate, now at least i know my plan of action Quote
Gaz Walker Posted February 1, 2010 Posted February 1, 2010 Have a look here at the Spring Kit, Camber Arms and Pro Spacers http://z-store.co.uk/index.cfm?currentp ... gory_id=39 All very popular mods with 350Z owners Quote
Chris`I Posted February 1, 2010 Posted February 1, 2010 As the others have said, spacers and springs for a start. You wont have to fit camber/toe kits, some cars get away with it depending on how aggressive you want the camber, but be prepared to need a kit just in case Quote
MITZ@CougarStore Posted February 1, 2010 Posted February 1, 2010 CS fits them too. Thanks Martin…. Let me know if you need any information, we’ve supplied/fitted a few, so plenty of photos available on the forum to see the before and after photos… Quote
bodyboarder Posted February 3, 2010 Author Posted February 3, 2010 Hi again i have tried to find some pics of a zed with eibach pros on but to no avail. Any chance some kind person could help me out? Would really like to see a pic with just 20mm spacers on standard suspension ( rays alloys if poss) and another with eibach pros and the spacers as well. Also are people putting the spaces on the front and back or just the back? Sorry for all the questions! Oh and whats the ball park figure i should expect to pay to have the springs and arms ( if i need them) fitted, many thanks again Quote
Stew Posted February 3, 2010 Posted February 3, 2010 Look for my pics. I have pics on Rays (no spacers) and with my summer wheels on. Quote
M13KYF Posted February 3, 2010 Posted February 3, 2010 mines with 20mm Eibach spacers and rays wheels Quote
bodyboarder Posted February 3, 2010 Author Posted February 3, 2010 Thanks Mike - those spacers really do make it look so much better! Its the one thing that really did put me off the zeds when they first came out, should have bin like that from the factory. Thanks Quote
bodyboarder Posted February 3, 2010 Author Posted February 3, 2010 Oh also is that 20mm spacers front and rear? Quote
M13KYF Posted February 3, 2010 Posted February 3, 2010 Thanks Mike - those spacers really do make it look so much better! Its the one thing that really did put me off the zeds when they first came out, should have bin like that from the factory. Thanks they do really do make a vast visual difference. The 370z suffers with the same problem unfortunately Quote
M13KYF Posted February 3, 2010 Posted February 3, 2010 Oh also is that 20mm spacers front and rear? yep all round. bought from CS Quote
Stew Posted February 3, 2010 Posted February 3, 2010 Here is lowered on Eibach pros with NO spacers. Our survey says mmmmmmuuuuuhhhhhh mmmmooooooooohhhhhhhhhh The spacers make a hell of a difference. Quote
ryan21 Posted July 7, 2010 Posted July 7, 2010 How do the eibach pros affect the ride comfort compared to OEM springs? Quote
bodyboarder Posted August 9, 2010 Author Posted August 9, 2010 Hi ryan - I think they are pretty good just a little harder, but not too crashy. The problem is that it seems that if you slap the springs on you MIGHT have to do all the a arms / bolts and stuff to get the camber/toe right , so could end up costing quite a bit. This is why i have bought the coilovers as i am hoping that i can lower to the point of where i dont need to mess around with anything else. Hope that all makes sense Quote
1973safc Posted September 14, 2010 Posted September 14, 2010 mines are great... love them did you just fit the springs without doing anything else with camber and the likes?? Quote
Neilp Posted September 14, 2010 Posted September 14, 2010 mines were fitted by nissan when the original owner ordered it. I'm unsure about the camber set up but im sure the original camber arms will do as they are still adjustable if im right. Stew is running them aswell so he might be able to give you more info. Quote
JoshC Posted September 25, 2012 Posted September 25, 2012 Dragging up an old thread! Is it really neccasary for this camber kit if I'm going to fit say 20-30mm lowering springs? If I fitted coilovers instead are they not needed? Cheers! Quote

SteveW Posted September 25, 2012 Posted September 25, 2012 You can just about get away with the Tein springs and not need new camber arms because the drop isn't as much. I run the teins and the car just sits in the camber spec right at the top end. You don't need the camber arms if you don't mind running a lot of negative camber but that has some adverse effects. Quote
JoshC Posted September 25, 2012 Posted September 25, 2012 Has anyone got any pics of one lowered on springs without the camber arms? Also, anyone got a link for the caber arms? Cheers! Quote
