GSedan35,
I just purchased the Tein STechs for the 350Z for my G35 per your recommendations. Is the drop going to be 0.7" front and 0.6" rear still? Or would it be more since these are made for the 350Z? I couldn't decide between these or the RSR but ended up going with the Teins because it's front rate is stiffer. I'll have picture taken too once I get them so you can see how the front coils are compared to the RSRs. If I kept stock wheels and tires, would I have more understeer with the upgrade of these springs? I have a set of Milanos coming in a couple of weeks but I ordered tire sizes of 255/35 up front and 275/35 in the rear, hoping to decrease understeer as well.

In that case, GSedan35 mentioned that if I get coilovers, that I could spend an extra $165 for 448 lb/in springs. Would it be possible just to buy these springs alone and not get coilovers? Or is it part of the coilover package? Would going from 402 to 448 make that much of a difference? I don't need to adjust height, otherwise, I'd invest in Tein BAsics. If I did go with coilovers, I'd go with the Tein CS with stiffer 448 lb springs in the back. However, I just don't have the money. I figured if I spent $150 on springs and another $165 on the 448 lb springs, I'd achieve a mild track setup that is better than stock, yet will work for the street. And later on when my struts go bad, I could spend another $600 on Konis, which would leave me at a total of ~$900 spent, still $500 less than the Tein CS. GSedan35, where are you?

The only way to get a different spring to run with oem shock's is to have them made. Eibach eludes to offer just that when you look ERS spring catalog they mention that if you don't see what you want to call them. But, that does get you to the

Well with the 350Z S-tech's only tranfering 5% roll stiffness to the front, just can't see they'd make a real differance to understeer. Your still close enough to the stock balance that you can work to tune out the understeer with adjustable sway bars. Though, going with the RSR springs as a understeer reducing move in of itself would make sense. If you cancel the S-tech order, the RSR springs are on backorder til the end of the month. I'm going with the RSR springs.

I plan on running the RSR springs long enough to test them, not really thinking about keeping them, but who know's. If they work well, their just might be a market for all those oem Z struts that never sell in the market place.
