Who makes the lowest springs?
Hey guys, I tried searching but couldnt find a real answer to my question. Who makes the biggest drop for springs on a 350z? I have the tanabe GF210's but they arent low enough. I'm thinking if I cant find springs I have to get coilovers. Any suggestions?

Not true:
There are a number of "lower" springs.
I currently have the GF210's, also going to go lower.
Tanabe is good, they make the NF210's, which are a confirmed lower drop than the GF's.
H&R's also drop about 1.5" all around.
Cheaper, lower quality springs such as "Dropzone" drop an estimated 1.7" all around.
Vogtland are also a confirmed 1.3-1.5" drop.
Eibachs are far from the lowest, LOL. They settle to about 1.3" after a long time, but still not the lowest as you can see.
Me personally? We'll find out soon. Look for some of my future posts, I'll show what low + decently driveable means.
Peace out, btw still got the connect on the hks's? =P

I wish I had a better pic online but this is all I can find right now. My car has the H&R which lowered it 1.5" I'm very satisfied with them however the rear could sit slightly lower.

you might wanna read up before you just slam your car like this. your going to want to replace your shocks and get a camber kit if you go more then 1". plus alignment. you really want to spend another $800 on top of springs to drop your car that much?

Get coilovers. Going past a 1.2" drop mean's less bump travel and the bump stop kissing that was already going on is only going to get worse and that is NOT a good thing ride and drive wise. Coilovers will have the advantage of shortened dampner bodies and won't have the same travel issues. I don't recommend all cheap coilovers, but Basics do come to mind.

i heard that sprint performance is the lowest drop with 1.75in all around (44mm) ive been researching the same thing being that coilovers are so expensive. if you look right you could find them for $250 with shipping even tho they retail for $329 plus shipping. if anyone have these spring let me know if they drop that much and hows the ride
