I think its pretty much the same. The h techs are the most mild lowering spring i think.

You'll end up with about another .3-.5 drop in the front and just a .1-.2 additional drop in the back.

The stance is great and the wheel gaps are almost identical. Check my profile on G35driver.com when it is back up and running to see pictures of the H-Techs for the 350Z.

G35 coupes use different oem springs then the 350Z does. Because of this, when 350Z specific lowering springs are used on a G35 coupe, you will get a additional mount of lowering. Coupes that do not have rims and tires that are the same height as oem, will see differing results depending on how they differ from the oem tire heights. Under normal circumstances, any 350Z lowering spring should lower a G35 coupe a addtional .5" front and rear. Adding is that amount to the published 350Z drop, is a safe bet.

G35 sedan's are the same exact way, but the added drop amount for them when using 350Z oem springs or aftermarket 350Z lowering springs is +1", not .5" like the coupes.

Unfortunately wrong. The camber is out on 3 of my 4 tires by 0.25 degrees. This means that if the camber range is from .25 to negative 1.25 degrees, then I'm at negative 1.5 degrees. I was going to buy camber arms, but have come across a deal on a pair of Crawford headers that I just CANNOT refuse...

FYI, toe and caster is perfect, but your mileage may vary.

Question

G352NV....Did you cut the front rubber bump stops???
I'd think it is not necessary with the 350Z stiffer spring rates.

Has anyone else had the same problems as Neffster with the Z H-Techs on their G35?

Isn't it good to have a small amount of negative camber for road racing?

When I put mine in, I think the rears were at about -1.6 and -1.7 camber. Couldn't tell you about the fronts because my installer tried to correct the camber off the bat, cause the adjustment on the kinetix arms is pretty labor intensive.

The front looks much better, the rears look just a slight touch lower than stock. And the left side is slightly lower than the right. Apparently this is characteristic to G35s on springs. I'm happy w/the drop and I rarely scrape, usually it's due to speed bumps that are too tall.

Thanks for posting the pics. Looks good with the nice, subtle drop. Had a hunch it was you, but I wasn't certain. See ya at Fusion.
