That's what I mean. I'm considering getting the kit which means both the springs AND the struts. However if the drop from the springs after they settle in go too low, I'm thinking of just purchasing the struts and using my stock springs with the D-specs.

 

I think we both got confused about what was posted and replyed to . I don't know the drop on them, and really couldnt suggest a drop spring for the 06+ Z with the revised springs. I feel they are better than most aftermarket drop springs.

Personally i would start with sways , and if you really need a drop , buy coilovers or study spring rates on drop springs and figure out what one is right for your needs.

 

I thought about getting H&R sway bars, but when I researched some more I found out that the 06+ sways are actually about 17% stiffer than the earlier years. Due to this I think that I'm not gonna spend money on the sways right now, especially when I don't feel any body lean or see a drastic sign of losing control on sharp cornering and sudden movements. As for coilovers, I don't track too much and I'm more of a street type of guy, that's why I think I'm just going to stick with a set of aftermarket struts and springs when the time comes.

 

Your Z looks good. I love those wheels.

 

thanks for nice comments!!

 

How much did you spent on this set up am also interested since my car has already 60k.

 

^^^ i dont know if that question is for me. But i bought it last year for $680. I think it was part of a group buy then.

 

Where did you get that hex tool? I was only able to find it on-line.

 

I ride full stiff front and rear....full stiff isn't really that stiff at all.

i am using RS-R springs....

funny thing though is i started out at 4 turns front and rear as the OP stated...right away i went to 3.....and then 2 front...3 rear.

after a couple of days it seemed to not feel as stiff as it was...so i adjusted it to 1 turn from full stiff up front and 2 in the rear....by a week and a half....i had to up it to full stiff all the way around.....it felt hard for a day and then got comfy stiff....

wonder if anyone else's struts felt like mine

the Tokico springs are 375 front and rear....my RS-R are 345 up front and 417 in the rear...but only a .6inch drop compared to 1.25 inches....



anybody know where to get the springs only???? i may want to switch
!!!!!

 

You can get it at sears

 

Thanks I just noticed that they were craftsman and headed down to sears to pick them up. Was going to post then noticed you were kind enough to answer.
By the way they are on sale at sears for $14 for the hole set of extend Hex tools.

 

This setup is FTW!! got it on my 06 just with tanabe springs. just like what everyone else said, rides just like stock..just a bit stiffer. only thing im disappointed in is trying to adjust the rears. will most likely have to buy the extension.

 

anybody had experience with these shocks making squeaking noises over bumps and dips on the road after a while?

 

I got mine a couple of weeks ago and iam getting a loose metal noise. But on a second look nothing was loose. Iam thinking endlinks but really not sure. only coming from the back, on bumpy roads.
