i know for sure i dont want to go with a 1inch drop...cuz im not really into the whole slammed look, just want to close the wheel gap...and im leaning towards the hotchkiss springs...0.6, 0.8. but then i came across these...never heard of them though? any comments, experiences, knowledge?

Stick to the hotchkis set.

 

for now i am, but why stick to hotch?

 

Tried and trusted mostly. Ive never heard of ST.

 

yeah....for that asking price....get the Hotchkis. moderate drop, and yes just like above, they are tested and approved. not just a knock off, Hotchkis was designed and tested for the Z.

 

Like the previous posters stated: sticking to Hotchkis would be your best bet. Trusted and tested product.

 

I don't think the 1" drop gives you a "slammed" look. It will definitely close the wheel gap, though.

Here's my car on Eibach Pro-Kit and 19" rims:


Oh yeah, and so I'm on topic: Suspension Techniques has been in business for a long time. I don't think I've seen any 350Z's running them, though.

yeah but 1inch means i got to get a camber kit and w.e. else is needed...and im not willing to throw down alot of money towards suspension right now...

and yeah i been through that thread, every page, about twice...seen the hotchkis on a couple different and results seem to vary.

 

u dont necessarily need a camber kit with a 1" drop. u wont get to "ideal" camber specs, but you can for sure get within acceptable factory specs without a camber kit.

 

heres my eibach prokit and 18's. i dont have hardly any wheel gap

On a serious note, I didn't need to get a camber kit but I went spending crazy last year after I got my income tax return and got everything at once (springs, shocks, camber kit).
Car rides as if it were on rails and it has a clean look to it!

 

Hmmm...I didn't know Street Beat was making parts for the Z. I know I used to get parts through them back when i had my mini (1998 Tacoma). That being said I don't think I'd trust them to make parts for my Z. Mini trucks and sporst cars are kind of at different ends of the R&D spectrum.

 

they are just springs! you'll be able to keep your factory alignment
without camber/toe kits. stop overthinking this.

 

this, I have just the s-techs, all 4 are within factory specs without additional suspension parts
