i bought tein h techs for my g35 and the drop isnt as low as i expected. i think tein s techs for the 350z would be better.

.7f and .6r

 

I would think so, I know of some that have installed the stock 350Z springs on their G35's

 

How long have you let the springs settle in?

 

its been a few days and i still have a fairly big gap. would stock 350z springs lower my car more than .6 front .3 rear?

 

No since oem coupe and 350Z springs are the same parts, the suspension's differ in shock valving only. Oem sway bars are the same as well.

2004 Z's built after 11/30/03 have a revised suspension ment to improve ride quality, their springs are said to be slightly stiffer and the shock valving is said to be softer.


You were supposed to be .6"/.3" lower with your G35 coupe H-tech's. Tein S-tech's ment for the Z are supposed to drop the Z
.7"/.6". Some have reported that Z spec lowering springs used on the G35 drop a smidge more because of the G35's extra weight. But I don't see that as a guarantee that you'll get the drop you really want. I certainly do see the Z S-tech's as having much better spring rates if improved performance is one of your goals from you lowered car however.

Did you measure the ride height with a tape measure before you dropped the car and after to see how much you actually dropped? Let's say you did get the .6"/.3" drop their supposed to do, looking at your car, in your own eye's, how much of a drop do your guess you need to be happy to get the look you want?

 

^^thanks for the reply.

Well, the front is pretty much what I am looking for. A little more wouldnt be bad, but I wouldnt want more than 1 inch drop in the front since there is not camber adjustment for the front wheels.

The rears however pretty much only dropped .3...I was hoping that it would sag a little over half an inch, but it doesnt look like it. That .6 with the stechs for the Zs would probably be what I'm looking for.

The thing is that I already got an alignment done, so if i do get new springs, I would have to get another alignment and I'm not sure if i really want to spend that extra money...

My friend is only gonna charge me 65 drop it again and its like 50 bucks for a one time alignment and 139 for lifetime alignment.

I really messed up this time...haha

I'll probably wait another week to see if the htechs sag a little more. It seems to be looking a little lower than day 1...
