YES! after a week of waitin my springs came in....WooOHoOOo gettin install on thursday...i'll try to post some pictures up onces its slam to the ground...1.5" drop..does anyone have any picture with this drop?

 

1.5 inch drop springs without matching struts and a camber kit are pointless

 

okay i guess...ur stoptech slotted rotors are pointless without the matching stoptech big calipers... since u made a point there...

 

ROTFLMAO...good stuff. Keep em coming.

 

"JEeNYUS"!!

 

there is no reason to get a camber kit unless you want not as good handling in the corners, or if you are going to be drag racing... but then again if your drag racing any of the lowering springs available are too high of a spring rate and you would have to go to 0 camber on the rear...

If your concerned about inner tire wear then see this thread...

i thought with anything over an inch drop is going to create too much negative camber and wear out the tires. At least that was my experience with my last car, tires were toast in 15k miles or less.

 

oem replacements were around the same price, and yes the rotors are basically pointless. I plan on doing the rears also along with ss brake lines and dot 4 fluid since im going to be doing track days next year. Doesnt change the fact that drop springs without matching struts are going to do nothing but ruin the ride in your car.

 

check that thread...

15k miles on the inside of the tires, and then almost another 15k on the out side you can get...

if you do this process once you see inner tire wear start to really happen, then you should rotate them...

 

Wooooo Hooooo!!! Group Hug In the Showers Tonight!!!

 

how much do you charge to do that?

 

 

I lowered my z with the tanabe normal feeling springs and I think it rides better than stock. feels more connected to the road and looks amazing. I didn't replace my struts either. I highly recommend them

 

seems like u need to learn more about ur cars before u give out ur lovely comments... ...buts its coo who am i to say...i only have a "degree" in automotive....hahaha im just fcukin wit ya...tats wut u get for tryin to give me a hard time in the other threads....

 

Congrat on ur new stuff...!

I'm getting the GF210 soon...

But i thought the gf210 spring will lower the Z (Front 1.0" and Rear 1.2") only...

why 1.5" drop??

 

i dont need to learn more, i know what im talking about when i make these comments.

 

Except lower your center of gravity... and give you less body roll, nose dive, and lift. And the GF210s will not ruin your ride at all. In fact, I like the ride in my car better than I do a stock Z. I thought it felt more "floaty".

 

Tanabe GF210 Series 350Z progressive springs 1”/1.2” drop on 350Z
Spring rates in LBS 336/375 (only peak rates are published, softer initial progressive rates unknown)
Stiffer then oem 2003/2004 springs by F+7% R+10%

1. We are not talking about peak spring rates that are all that much stiffer then oem.
2. The springs do employ a progressive design to better allow themselves to work with the oem shocks in a trade off. Less performance for the sake of gaining as much ride comfort as possible. Keep in mind that pretty much all current aftermarket springs were R&D'd on 350Z's that have the original suspension specs. Car's built from 04.5 on have a revised setup designed to improve ride quality.

The flip side.

Progressive springs can make the car act disconnected as you transistion between soft inital rates and the higher peak rates, can get weird if your at the limit of adheasion.

No matter what oem shock is on the car, Tokico D-specs will offer much superior control. But that is not to say that the Tanabe's specs mean replacement is required.
