Has anybody ever purchased these springs...
if so how were/are they?

- Thanks

 

They are really stiff springs created for use on car's running T2 track event's. Unless you invest in Koni shocks, or much better TcKline Koni shocks you'll be in for a not so great ride and drive experience. Just to say it, spring rates are well above the range that Tokico D-specs can handle, since Tokico themselves recommends a 450lbs rate cap.

You can find the springs mentioned most in the Autocross forum and a few times in this section of the board.

"NISSAN MOTORSPORTS race spring kit for the 350Z/G35. Could be used with OEM dampers. Spring rates are 690lb/in each. Please allow 30 days for delivery after purchase as these parts are special order only and not in stock."

"COULD be used with oem dampners", oh wow that is so not the thing to say, they'll fit alright, car will drive awfull, oem shocks only deal with 314-342/427 spring rates, not 690.

BTW, I work in Turlock.

 

yeah i didnt know how they were gonna be with the oem dampers...

Thats cool, what car do you own?

G35 sedan 6mt
Crawford pleneum
High flow cats
Custom Injen TD exhaust
Hotchkis front sway with Nismo adjustable end links 350EVO rear sway
Megan racing coilovers
Enkei RPM2 rims

I'm content with the sedan, but wish my wife would have let me buy the Z I brought home in 03.

 

How do you like those megans? Quality wise, and ride wise. Im afraid to buy from that company, but you definately know what youre doing interms of suspension. Also, where did you get nismo adjustable end links. AND LAST Q! Are you supposed to drop the car down to tighten down the sway bar bolts to the endlink?

 

The quality of the parts that make up the Megan coilovers are fine, nothing bad and nothing super outstanding, just the kind of satisfaction you get when nothings wrong and the price you paid makes sense with what is laid out before you. Ride wise, I run them with very high dampning settings in order to bring rebound control up, would prefer less compression dampning, but I can't stand the poor rebound performce I end up with at lower dampning settings. As it stands now, around town is perfectly fine. As speeds increase they still have some issues when bumps come in a series, single bumps are a non issue at any speed.

Mynismo.com sell's the end links, though I would recommend finding some of the most recent end link threads and look into other product offerings, IMO they don't measure up because of design related issues(bent bolts that lock sleave bushings into place to name one issue). I have read that your supposed to tighten the sway bar bolts to the endlinks with the weight of the car resting on them. I don't bother with that, but don't write that advise off, use your own judgement.
