Well he sorta does have a point.

Tanabe GF210 Series 350Z
336/375 (progressive, softer initial rates unkown)
Stiffer then 2003/2004 oem by F+7% R+10%

IMO the bigger deal vs spliting hairs is where he's from. He may be used to typical JDM tuning, spring rates so high you might as well have solid cylinders of steel vs springs.

And this is coming from someone with the name 'Mr Drifter'....

And you are judging this from??
Your experience driving with these units daily?
If NO, then perhaps you should shut your trap.
If YES, then perhaps you are the "dumb" one.


Gsedan35,
Im commenting this based on experience with almost every Japanese Suspension including Ohlins in my cars back in Aus.

haha seconded. A lot of people subsribe to the notion that unbearably stiff is better. I like my GF210's, they're definitely stiff enough to make a noticable improvement in handling, but compliant enough to keep traction on less than perfect roads. Good springs + shocks FTW!

There are stiffer springs out there, but I doubt there are any aftermarket dampers (agx, d-spec, etc) that can safely handle those uber high rates short of going up to a full adj. coilover setup.

I got back within a degree, according to the alignment shop so I'm happy. A little extra camber on the rear is actually preferable for me.
