which will work best for 20's? and also look the best

 

I have 19's and I install my Tein S Techs recently. I love the drop. I think its perfect and the ride is alot smoother! A++

 

Dropped my car with Tein S at Street Image and it looks great!

 

G35 and 350Z Tein lowering springs have very different spring rates.

 

are you able to see the difference in the rear? some say you can not really tell that the rear has even been lowered? i am considering getting the S Tech, but i do want to see a difference in drop. do you happen to have any pix? thanks for you help.

 

I have them and the car bounces like hell on the freeway and I'll scrape the tail pipe once in while and my alignment is completely shot to hell. To correct the alignment I need to get a camber adjustment kit, which runs between $700 and $1500.

It looks fantastic lowered and it handles like a dream. I'm probably going to switch to the Teins so I won't destroy my tires.

 

murrman100,

That's the exact reason I started this thread. Great discussions like the one you provided. It's exactly why I'm going with a set of springs that don't drop my car more than an 1" front/back EVER and for the life of the car. One reason I'm still very interested in the RS*R, Hothchkis, and S. Tech.

 

even though it bounces like crazy, it still handles great? as far tein goes, are you able to do an alignment on it? i really agree with you on the tires. i plan on runnin some 19's, but man dem tires are expensive. i am doing my research now so i won't that dis problem. hey thanks for you help.

 

nexstage350,

I talked to a guy at a meet that had the S. Tech installed, waited a little while for them to settle, then had his alignment brought back into spec using the OEM parts. IMO, his ride looked great!

From what I've read anything between .5 and .75 inches in drop can be realigned with OEM parts. And it doesn't give you that slammed look, but more of a 911 and M3 look.

 

really? i have been highly thinking about the s tech, but just wanted more opions. what is ur take on eibach pro kit? i had eibach b4 on my honda and they were great. now i have a z and i want to make no regrets when i lower my ride. my cusin has s tech on his is300, don't know too many people with them on z. hey thanks so much for help.

 

It handles great but its got some bump steering issues.
Performance Nissan couldn't get it back into alignment.

cannot be re-aligned...????

Tanebe Coils, Eibachs, or S. Techs...?

 

Tanabe GF. Perf Nissan said the camber was too negative and they couldn't adjust it out of the negative.
They said I need a front and rear camber and toe package.

damn, that sucks...

Well I'm putting my new rims on my baby in the morning I may or may not have to drop. At this point, imo, the stock front wheel has an even gap between the fender and the wheel all the way around. The rear fender to wheel gap is a little uneven at the top and makes the wheel look smaller than the front, an illusion Maybe it's just my eyes, ha,ha,ha. Anyway, my new rear wheels are huge by dimension (295/35/19) and may just even things up visually on their own. I guess I'll know by tomorrow afternoon

I'll be sure to post pics in my "fattest tires on a 19" rim thread".

 

I know this thread is old but did you ever pick a spring Zquicksilver??

How is it?

I decided to go with the RS*R. I'm getting ready to order them soon. I'm going to put them on in the spring when I swap my wheels. I'm probably going to have to shave my rear inner fender for clearance, but that's OK. I'm going with the 0.6" drop because others have and used their OEM suspension parts to bring it back into spec. I don't want to have to spend another $900 in extra re-aligning parts for half an inch. Not worth it, imo.

RS*R $205 shipped

F_0.6" drop spring rate 345lbs.
R_0.6" drop spring rate 417lbs.

Cool, you will like those RS-R spring.

and judging by your offset and size of the wheels, you might need to roll your fenders.

 

Post some pics when they are installed this spring, I'm planning to get some as well!

 

Where's the pics

Speaking of RS*R. Are the Ti2000 a superior spring as compared to the RS-R Down Sus. spring? Im assuming the titanium spring will out last and out perform the latter, thx.
