Prog35..Tell me how you like the springs. I know that alot of BMW and Benz uses H&R springs to drop there rides. I'm just wondering why not alot of members uses H&R. Maybe the drop is not what there looking for.

They are not listed in the list of avaliable products for two reason. H&R refuses to give out spring rate information. They don't believe in informed buying decisions. And they are progressive springs, I know that's not fair but I guarantee if they were linear I'd get around their little don't ask don't tell policy by buying a set myself and testing them for spring rate.

Sprint springs are not listed for the exact same reason.

thanks for the replys guys...Im still debating should i go with Eibach Pro-Kit or the H&R Sport Springs. Will the H&R work well with the D-Spec DSP-7 shocks? Does anyone know how will the H&R rides like?

I cant speak for the G35c, but the rest of the world (BMW, Benz, Porsche, etc.) loves H&R.
The drop looks great. I think that is the same drop as the Eibach Pro-Kit.
I will read around for more reviews.
Does a drop of 1'' require any camber plates, or other suspension/alignment tools/hardware? Sorry I am new to the G world.

And does anyone know which spring rate is stiffer between the H&R and Eibach? Thanks!

As I mentioned in my post above, H&R refuses to give out their spring rate's.

I myself have owned H&R springs on another car. While I liked them a great deal, if the car was pushed past 8/10th's, I ran out of spring capacity. So I'm with the rest of the world in that regard, but I'll also point out that when their desires go beyond mild increases, they also pick a different product.

At the .8" drop mark, coupes start to not be able to align back to oem specs. Pretty much guarantee that a 1" drop will not align to spec. At which point some will say, "but it's not out enough for me to be willing to sped $$ to fix", at which point it's totally up to you.

I am also very curious to know how is the ride on h&r springs, i have seen Rauls car in person & the drop looks awesome. Currenly i have 350z H-tech & to be honest i hated, that damn thing is too bouncy. Anyways after the installing my TS bumper, i may jump on H&R springs.

Dang.
I am not hearing great things about any single spring. I thought I had it down to H&R or Eibach. I also like the drops they give.
I will search more now, but can someone quickly tell me which parts are needed to get the alignment back? Camber plates? I read some "arms" somewhere but now forget which they were (A or Controller). Seems expensive to drop this car.

If you lower the car 1'' on coilovers, will you also need this alignment hardware?

Sorry. S2000s have all of this standard so when I dropped mine on Buddy Club RS Coilovers, it was all capable of being adjusted back. I'm in a new world now.
