all a matter of opinion, but looks good to me. from the hotchkis website.

 

looks perfect to me!

 

The catch here is the fact that you want a drop and not spend a lot of money.

Now if you want a larger drop than the hotchkis give, you need to spend, what I think is a lot of money - money on front and rear camber kits, as well as money for new absorbers.

Yes, you will definitely notice the drop that you get with these springs. I would suggest going with the tull TVS setup, though it is up to you. You can always get the sways later, so you don't need to make up your mind now. I just want to point out, what was said earlier in this thread about all the positives being heard in regards to the sways.

 

yeah, im asking around vendors to see if they can hook me up with good price. im think im just gonna go with TVS kit. i like the fact that it comes with everything you need.

madd probs to zivman! i dont think i could of done all this with out you man. thanks

 

Stay away from Tein springs. They're no good...

palepony you too! madd probs. thank you so much. much help!

 

Thanks for the help everyone. Just ordered the stage one kit. Wont ship until Nov 7th, but when I install them i'll have new pics. Rob

 

The 406 + shipping is about what GSC has it for. Last time I called, I thought they were 435 shipped The TVS ships in a HUGE box, so shipping is easily 30-40 bucks

 

When talking about G35 H-tech's and S-tech's I understand your comment, but this is a 350Z board and you seem to be saying that all Tein springs are no good including 350Z H-techs and S-techs..

 

Gsedan35, are you testing the Truechoice Koni setup? Or are the "Koni coilovers" in your sig another system? Thanks.

 

this thread is very helpful...i have to 20's though...read my sig for the offsets and widths...will hotchkis work for me?...thanks in advance

 

FYI...intense motorsports has the tvs kit for $399 free shipping and springs only for $149 plus shipping

your welcome !

 

You're right. It's only their G springs that suck. I clarified in another thread, guess I forgot about this one...

 

So if I were go get the Tein S-tech's, would I need to buy anything else, I see they only drop a max of .7", and I've heard that .8 is the safest you can go without needing new stuff, but I just want to be sure.

s-techs have the drop you listed and shouldn't need new alignment hardware.
however, s-techs have spring rates (386front - progressive; 402rear) that will not optimally be handled by your stock 2003 shocks. really you should buy new shocks with these springs, as mentioned in your other thread.

what would be the way to go for a 1inch drop all around (spring only)? im upgrading from 17's to 19's and would like your input.

i should add that i dont want to make the ride any bumpier then it already is. i jiggle enough as it is.

this current thread and this linked thread will help answer your question https://my350z.com/forum/brakes-and-suspension/150617-lowering-spring-suggestions.html

you can't really do a 1" drop with springs only. if you want OEM alignment then you will need aftermarket hardware.

by the way, the "bumpier" comment you made about your ride is your shocks not the springs. the 2003 OEM rear shocks don't properly dampen the rear OEM springs. the hotchkis would be a good choice for you as well - a 0.6" to
-0.8" drop (not quite 1") that doesn't require more hardware since they reduced the rear spring rates.
