so i just ordered my new wheels and tires and am now contemplating the teins for a little drop. anyone here used JUST the springs without camber? i am under the impression that with these springs since they offer a minimal drop ishouldn't have to? any help will be greatly appreciated
btw i ordered the enkei pk6's (18) and nitto 555's in 245/40

 

I have the Tein S-Techs installed on my Z and the drop is about the same as the NISMO set-up. Everyone that I've talked to said that they have been able to get the car back into specs by just getting an alignment. I still need to take my car in for an alignment before I start to get tire wear.

 

Put mine on two weeks ago and I'm about to go in for my alignment. I'm hoping everything stays in spec....

 

You should wait a week or two before getting that alignment so the springs settle to their normal wear position.

 

they cant spec it because its lower, so the factory settings will not apply. i have these bad boys, have had them alligned and they look very good, no ugly camber issues, there is a little camber difference on the back, but all of the tread touches the gound and wears pretty evenly. id say go for the teins.

 

how long have you had them on?

 

is the pic in your sig before or after the springs? please let us know how it comes out after alignment!!

 

Had mine on for a while now without problems. Alingment was able to get everything back within factory specs.

 

8-9 months, and i have nothing but good things to say about them, i think they are the perfect drop height.

 

cool, thanks a million!

 

I have been considering these for a while now, I have 19" wheels. On the front the car is already prety low, I would say I could fit a finger, and on the rear I am able to fit about two or three.

TheTeins S.Tech is that they lower the car 0.7 in the fron and 0.6 in the rear, and thats my main concern, the car is already lower in the front, these spring would lower it even more in the front thatn the rear...

Here is a page with a great price for these: http://www.intensepower.com/tessp35.html

 

I've heard nothing but good things about the teins, the drop is just enough without any major alignment issues, I just ordered these so hopefully they will work out. Sounds like it will from the reviews on this board.

 

it does drop it a bit more in the front, as to accentuate the natural lines of the z. as you said you can fit 2-3 fingers in the back gap (lol). sorry mind in the gutter.. and 1 in the front. well loweing the car evenly on all sides would mess up the higher in the back, lower in the front look the z had to begin with. this is why they did it that way.

 

Good point thanks for bringing that up, I think im going to get my order in too.

 

Does anyone have pics of a stock 350Z with stock 18s on Tein S Techs? Thanks
