Ok got my wheels and tires on. Now it is time to lower my Z . I know two people selling two different types of lowering kits for 350z. I just want everyones opinion on what would look/feel the best. Keep in mind I have 275/40 and 255/40 on Rotas. Thanks

 

Do you care about the handling of the car significantly?

I just finished installing Koni sports, cut rear spring seats and Tein tapered fronts with new lower mounts. .5" drop and improved handling. If you are concerned more with looks, Tein S-tech springs on the stock shocks, or Tokico's, or Koni's, would be my pick.

The S-techs have decent spring rates.

 

Hi

could you give more details on your front setup and exactly what springs and springrate you used.....and how you did the mounts?

sounds interesting.

thanks

 

< Just ordered the s-techs....

Was thinking about NF210's or Eibachs but im not too fond of Eibach and the NF's go 1.2 which is alittle too low for me. If your looking for a minimum lift without having to buy a rear camber kit or shocks, go s-tech or Eibach pro. Nf's and MAYBE GF's and your pushing on possibly needing the above.

but no telling until the car sits after springs but your safe wit s-techs.

IMO, Z's already low as bawls, S-tech gets you better handling and look without pushing too hard on stock setup/camber.

 

Another option is RS-R .6inch drop front and rear

 

Ya was recently reading on these also. .6 all around and good reviews. Also Hotchkis offers min drop and good springs as well.

 

Hotchkis are soft, hence me not even looking there.

I have Tien tapered springs wiht just a flat plate lower mount (cut the inside diameter to match the Koni's, the outside to match the spring.

I bought them used from GSedan35, he could give more info but there isn't much to it.

Its a 450ish lb/in front, stock is 430 lb/in rear. Drives well, Tein S-tech is close to this, sortof.
