Anyone with springs less than a 1" drop? Pics and recommendations are greatly appreciated.

I have the RS*R springs they are .6"-.7" lower and not much stiffer than stock. These are linear rate springs, NOT progressive.

 

The Kg/mm DR21 supersport springs are an excellent spring....they lower the car 15mm (.625 inches) Here's a pic courtesy of Daytona.

 

How's the ride on those? Also, what's linear vs. progressive mean?

On Tein's website, they show the H.TECH has 0.2" - 0.3" drop..

 

The Kg/mm's increase ride stiffness, but stil allow for a comfortable ride

 

I'll check it out. I want to maintain a relatively smooth ride, nothing too rough.

Do you need new shocks with that???

 

The NISMO G-Attack lowers very little as well. I couldn't tell when I saw a Z equpiied with it.

 

The Nismo S-Tune only lowers .8" IIRC..I just got mine installed today. Here's a pic

 

KJY9,

How about a S-Tune report?

 

Well I put new rubber, the cusco sways and the S-Tune on all inside the same week....it's tighter than a ...well you know LOL
I didn't know what everyone was saying about "the bounce" until after the S-Tune went in. I drove 5 hours home from Dallas today after install..mostly in the rain. When I got home and back in my neighborhood I got to play a bit...I'll tell you what...my azz end doesn't slide like it used to...I throw it around corners and the azz end just follows it right around. The S-Tune still retains some comfort, so it's not like riding a go-cart.
What more can I say until I get a chance to "really" drive it. Unfortunately we're supposed to get snow dumped on us tonight

 

How much do the Nismo S Tune and G Attack run? Something tells me they're pricey!

I got the S-Tune on sale at Courtesy Nissan for $1,300.00...they only had 3 left after I ordered mine. They might be all gone at that price...give them a look?

Check with www.hotchkistuning.com the 350Z Silver powder coated springs height is taller than my Eibach Pro ( it's too low ), and just perfect with 19" rims and tires. I enjoyed my tour at Hotchkis.

The stock springs have four winds of coil. The Hotchkis have eight, if I counted correctly.

Cheers Amy -
About $200 a set of four.

An more 350Z stuff to come.

 

They've still got 3 left at $1,300.00, down from $1,800.00
