TEIN S.TECH Lowering Springs Questions

I just purchased the TEIN S.TECH Lowering Springs on impulse and then started thinking and noticed that im not sure what kind of prep i need for the springs. Im on 20 inch rims 275 in the back 245 in the front. Do i need any sort of prep other then a alignment at the end? Please let me know from experiences and what not.

Offsets will help. Mostly likely you'll have to shave the rear bumper bracket and possibly some of the fender well lining in the rear as well. If worst comes to worst, you'll have to roll your fenders. If your wheels still don't clear, you'll have to go with a less aggressive offset or get a set of springs that aren't so low such as Swift or Eibach.

You also might need camber kits so you don't wear out your tires on one side, depending on the drop, I think anymore than 1.5 inch drop a camber kit is recommended.

Depending on offsets but more then likely you will be just fine, I had the S Techs and they were fine just don't like that once settled the rear is SOOO much lower then the front, i took my rears out and put in OEM 08+ 350Z rear springs and it was a perfect drop for the rear
