Just wondering if anybody is using these springs and your opinion about them.
Also Would Like to see some pictures.

Thanks

 

*crickets*

 

 

ummmmm

 

Im confused about Crickets but I will do a search on Vogtland Springs---Iv never heard of them but WTF

 

Vogtland Springs ---Made in Germany and a 1" Drop for the Z, 230.00 range

Sounds good to me ---Not priced too cheap or too high, German Products as a rule are well done and they are particular about their steel and a 1" Drop is cool

 

thanks for doing the leg work on that one

 

First up, your oem baseline

2003/2004
314/342

2004.5/2007
314/427

Most of the springs below were R&D with oem 03/04 shocks in mind. Keep in mind that 04.5+ cars have very different oem shocks (softer on bump) vs previous cars.

Eibach 350Z progressive springs 1”/1”
Spring rates in LBS initial/final front 296/384 initial/final rear 316/421

Eibach 350Z sportline progressive springs 1.2"/1.2"
F: 239/400 R: 257/435
Very wide spreads between the softer initial rates and firmer peak rates.

RSR 350Z linear springs .6”/.6”
Spring rates in LBS 345/417

Hotchkis 350Z Linear springs .6”/.8”
Spring rates in lbs 340/330

Tein S-tech 350Z springs .7“.6“ (fronts are slightly progressive, rears are linear)
Spring rates in LBS 386/402 (estimated front intial rate is 327lbs)

Tein H-tech 350z linear springs .3”/.2”
Spring rates in LBS 358/375

Progress Technology progressive springs 1.0”/1.0”
Spring rates in LBS 425/385 (final rates only, softer intial front progressive rate unknown)

Tokico D-spec shock & spring package 350Z - DSK512 -
Spring rates 375f/375r - Linear Springs 1"/1.5"

Tanabe GF210 Series 350Z progressive springs 1”/1.2”
Spring rates in LBS 336/375 (only peak rates are published, softer initial progressive rates unknown) Not much stiffer vs oem, IMO Eibach prokit is a better choice because of that springs higher spring rates which should help keep you off the bumpstops more often.

Tanabe NF210 Series 350Z progressive springs 1.2”/1.2” higher
Spring rates in LBS 314/353 Not much stiffer vs oem, IMO Eibach prokit is a better choice because of that springs higher spring rates which should help keep you off the bumpstops more often.

Skunk2 350Z progressive springs 1.3”/1”
Spring rate in LBS 238/381 237/395
Very wide spreads between the softer initial rates and firmer peak rates.

Swift 350Z linear springs .8”/.6” drop on 350Z, G35 drop will be higher)
Spring rates in LBS 336/364

Swift 350Z Spec-R progressive springs 1.2”/1”
Spring rates in LBS intial/final Front: 291/392 Rear: 280/448

Nismo T2 350Z Linear springs 1”/1”
Spring rates in LBS 625/700
Do NOT run them with ANY OEM shock, Tokico D-spec (450lbs rate cap), Tokico HP, KYB GR2. Koni sport or Bilstein HD should not be used either unless revalved. TcKline DA shocks were specifically made and valved for the T2 springs.

Vogtland 350z progressive springs 1”/1”
Spring rates in LBS initial/final front 257/354 initial/final rear 285/422
Front rate spread isn't that bad, but the rear is somewhat wide. Prokit or Progress would be worth considering in comparison

Kg/mm springs 350Z DR21 super sport 15mm drop
Spring rates in lbs initial/final front 246/398 initial/final rear 252/409
Very wide spreads between the softer initial rates and firmer peak rates.

Kg/mm DRacing progressive springs 1.2”/1.2”
Spring rates in LBS initial/final front 252/454 initial/final rear 252/482 rear
Very wide spreads between the softer initial rates and firmer peak rates.

Espelir 350Z progressive springs 10mm drop F&R

H&R sport progressive springs 350Z 1.3”/1” drop
Spring rates in LBS 370/400 (peak rates only, softer initial rates are unknown)

 

Well I guess I'm going to be the experimenter on this one got a set laying around and am getting sick of sitting stock on my ZR. I was going to save for coils but my new top just set me back $1300... I'll get some pictures before and after and give you guys the short on how they perform. Should have it done within the next month.

 

I've run Vogtland springs on 2 other cars, but they weren't 350's, so all I can tell you is that they're a quality spring. They actually wind the springs for many race teams and other big name manufacturers who charge a lot more money for them.

 

Yea im running their 40mm drop springs on my 01 Sentra SE and love them so far. Plus my brother in law is running their springs on his 06 vdub gti all in all they have been amazing. Im just hoping the Z springs are as amazing... we will see I'm just saving up for the front camber arms and i'll be putting them on in a couple months.
