Camber correction on small drop?

First off, Hello, new to the site and to Nissans.

Now, I want to lower my 240, but just with springs, not a big drop. And I was wondering can I get a camber kit that only adjust +-1 degree, or will I need more adjustment. Because the good, +-3 degree camber kits are kinda expensive. And as of now, I dont know what kinda springs and struts I will be using (any suggestions would be cool, for a daily driver). My last car I had coilovers, and they dont ride the best, I just wanted a big drop on it, so thats why I went with the coilovers. Now, on this car, I just want a nice looking drop, that will still ride really good. Thanks for the help.

Hi and welcome

I hear that Eibach (Sport line or Pro kit) give decent drop (about 2 inch) and decent ride (prokit almost near stock ride). Also tein s techs give about a 1.5 inch drop, but really nice ride.

As for struts/shocks, lots of people go for kyb agx's. They're adjustable and match well with many springs. Me, I wanna get koni yellows cause i hear they last much longer (lifetime guarantee, i think)

As for camber correction, i believe less than a 1.8 inch drop doesnt really need much camber correction. I'm not sure, I think I got that from the Eibach website.

I hope this helps

If you're like me and picky about allignments, PDM sells camber bushings that'll correct about .75 - 1.0 degree of camber. thats the least you could do to correct camber i think.

Ok, cool. When I do the drop, If I think the camber is too much, than I will get a kit. Thanks for the feedback.
