Default Dropped Roadster on......

I was wondering if anybody has Tein H.Tech's on their Roadster. I search hi and low for some pics, but did not prevail. Tein has the same drop on all their pics on their website and not of the roadster which a different spring rate and is already lower than the coupe. I just ordered some this morning, and Im really anxious to see how it looks. Thanks in advance.

Got the Tein H.Tech springs installed last nite. Haven't got to wash it nor able to take pics yet. I will definitely take some pics tomorrow and post them up asap. I can definitely tell its dropped. Considering the Roadster is pretty low already, especially compared to the coupe, the minimum drop is not as subtle as I thought.

I'll take some more pics from a leveled ground because that parking lot has all kinds of different levels.

How is the ride on the Tein springs? The eibach springs I have make my car sit a little low, and are on the harsh side. Would prefer something a little softer, and that brings the rear up slightly.
Thanks
Chris

The ride is pretty comfortable and soft. I think the rear stock springs were too stiff and its definitely better now. I was gonna get some Tokico D-spec shocks later, but we'll see. How's the Eibach's? I was gonna get those instead, but I was worried about the 1" drop.

Default Eibach

The eibach springs are a little stiff, but the drop looks very good(in my opinion).

The Eibach drop looks pretty good. I think if I was to go the springs/struts on the next Z, I would get those. I might go w/ Tokico D-Spec Struts in a few months. That hopefully will lower another .25" to .5" more.
