Default Help with Tein S tech springs

hey guys i recently bought some S tech tein springs. When i bought them the guy said that they were for a G. But just about every spring that i have looked at will fit a G or a Z but i have been looking around on the G forums and alot of the G guys are saying that the G S techs will not fit a Z. I was just wondering if this is true. Most springs i seen will fit Z or G they basically have the same suspension. Thanks guys

DO NOT INSTALL G35 S-techs on a 350Z

Yes they will install, you will get .5" less drop then the published G35 coupe drop, but they have rear spring rates that have no business on a 350Z.

Oem 350Z spring rates 2003-2004
314/342

Oem 350z spring rates 2004.5"
314/427

Tein S-tech G35 coupe 1.2”/.9” (fronts are progressive, rears are linear)
Spring rates in LBS 358/274 (final rates only, softer intial front progressive rate unknown)

My advice to you is to sell them on G35 driver and buy the kit ment for the Z, much MUCH superior spring rates

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)


Errrr, you do have a 350Z,....correct?

You are lucky the first response to your question is from gsedan35. My advice to you is "take his advice and call it a day". That guy knows about the
Z and G suspension like a guru.

Yes, though I don't know anything about what you want out of the suspension other then the drop.

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