Pics of S Techs and H Techs?
I am thinking about lowering my car. I searched a few times and couldn't find good pics of SETTLED 350Zs with S Techs and H Techs. I want to see both for comparison. I'm looking to eliminate wheel gap without making the car sit too low for driving conveniently. If you guys can, please post up some pics of both types of springs from different angles. Thanks in advance!
Also, I know a lot of people have mixed feelings on running stock struts with these. Let me know what your setup is and how it is. I'd like to get out cheaper and use the stock struts, but not if I'm going to have to replace them after a week.

I am also running 19's with a Veilside V1 lip kit, It is just high enough to clear most speed bumps and get me through some bad NC roads. Anything lower I would not really recommend, I find it hard sometimes to clear some places with slopes or inclines w/o scrapping a little bit. Also take into consideration after the install it will sag more over time. My Z sits very close to what is pictured above.

I combined mine with the revised 2006 struts and shocks and it was like night and day. Ride quality improved greatly. Still I felt that it was not quite stiff enough. I recently sold the suspension and will be pairing up the H-TECH's with NISMO S-Tune shocks and struts. I think this will make a perfect combination of performance and comfort.

BTW, with the Tein S, I'm still using my stock shocks. It's a mild drop with the Tein S -- about 3/4" all the way around. It's dropped but not too low that you're scraping all the time. I've driven my Z to HPDE & autocross with no issues on the suspension.

^ i always thought that running spacers and racing would be kind of dangerous since the tire isnt directly connected to the car's axle...not shure if thats what you would call it. How many miles have u been on spacers, and do u have any rear shots of your car??

imo, spacers are fine as long as you keep a check on your lugs. After installing spacers, you need to retorque them after about 50 miles. They'll need it.
I've pretty much decided on the S Techs. 3/4" on stock shocks/struts is about what I need. Thanks for all the help!
