Question about lowering my S13 - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Yo,

I have a 92 S13 bone stock and I'm thinking of lowering her soon.  The car's previous owner was crazy for OEM and had the car's shock replaced at 96K kms (about 50K miles) at Nissan.  The car now is at 100K kms, so they're brand new basically.  If I go for the Whiteline springs from  PDM can I just leave the shocks alone for now without ruining the handling??  After another 30K miles I'll likely swap out the shocks for KYBs.

Also, how bad is the negative camber afterwards? Will a 1.3" drop affect the camber? Will I need crrective bushings or will the car's stock camber adjustments accomodate the new springs?

Thanks
JZ
