I am going to be lowering my ride with springs. which one should I go for? looking to lower 1 to 1.5 inch all around. any recommandations? conside ride quality and all that, thx!

 

H&R's spring kit lowers around 1,5" front and rear, or there's hte kg/mm racing springs which lower around 1.2"

 

matix! which do you recommand in turns of ride quality and performance? do i have to go for new shox or coilover eventually?

 

I personally think the kg/mm's are a better choice...I dont think you will need to change the shocks with these.

 

go for sprint springs. i love them! they lower the car 1.8 inches all around and the ride is MUCH more comfortable than stock.

 

For the record, notice the difference between peak rates and the stock rates. Enough to warrant thinking off possible shock upgrading, especially the DRacing springs

Stock spring rates
F/R in lb/in
350Z and G35 coupe: 347/419

DR21 super sport 15mm drop
260/419 front 266/431 rear
DRacing 30mm drop
266/478 front 266/507 rear

Kg/mm springs for 350Z

You're right...I was thinking about the supersport springs instead of hte racing springs...the supersports you shouldnt need new shocks, but the racing ones you should look into it.

 

I am also thinking about getting the veliside 1 lip. will 1.2 drop + lip be to low on ground clearance? if it is I might as well go for HR for a lower stance!

any pics of kg/mm or h&r lowered Zs?

btw matix can you quote me price on kgmm/ h&R and veli 1 lip, thx~

This is the only pic I have if kg/mm springs....these are hte supersports though, which is a .6inch drop, so hte racing springs will be little more lower (check your email for the prices)

I vote kg/mm DR21 Supersports. I was thoroughly impressed and would purchase again and again.

 

Espelir, Eibach, Tanabe and Tein.

 

I went with the Tein. Nice drop, and good for daily driving.

What springs can I use on stock shocks without getting camber adjustment rods...etc. Basically I want to lower my car without ruining the shocks or tires, and without buying a bunch of extra crap.

 

The Kg/mm supersport springs would be a good choice for what you're looking for

 

Thanks! Do you know where I can get some? And how much do they lower?

 

We carry the springs, PM me if you'd like to order them. They lower the car approximately .6 inches
