I wanted to lower my Z32 and have absolutely no knowledge of lowering things lol.

What do i need to purchase to make this happen?

oh and also i wanted to lower it just enough so it barely makes it over a speed bumb without me angling the car becuz there are way 2 many bumps around here.Any of u guys know the standard height of a speed bump?lol im about to go and measure the one across the street

Get the Eibach lowering springs, they lower the car 0.8" at all four corners. But when you buy lowering springs, you need to either buy the 300 degree camber compensation kit, which puts the front wheels back at the factory camber after putting lowering springs on. Or you can go the better route and get fully adjustable camber arms, which I will do once I have the funds to buy springs, shocks, and camber arms.

If you're not looking to go too low....the eibachs are probably your best bet. Speed bumps are evil lol. Thankfully there aren't many around me.

i already installed an aftermarket adjustable camber kit by les schwab they ordered the parts.

will that compensate for adding the eibach springs?

If the kit provides camber adjustment, then I think you're golden.

I would suggest down the road to think about doing all the camber adjusting arms instead of the "kit" type stuff, not only will it stiffen up your suspension it allows for full adjustabililty.
