i'm gonna be looking at whats going on while i change my brakes next weekend.....anyone else with these springs feel the same way?

p.s. by all means whoever is thinking about getting this please do so, youwillbe happy it is a good drop just i am picky about little things.
Rides better than stock IMO.
You should be experiencing a softer ride. The Z H-techs springs are a bit softer than your previous Sports Tuned Suspension set-up, which comes standard on your '05 6MT w/19" OEM rims.

too bad that wasn't my experience. or maybe I need a second opinion.

dude after you get your alignment done, let diggy1 know your results. He had the same springs done on his ride, but his camber's way off. He has aftermarket wheels, 20" all around. He thought by doing the springs only he would not have camber issues. You have stock wheels so you should be within range of factory per the research done by other coupe owners.

his rear looks lower. are you sure the springs arent upside down? or maybe they need turning? sorry im not an expert, these are just things ive read before.

im looking to getting the same springs. thanks for the pics. they look exactly like what i want. congrats!

did you consider the S-tech? I know the spring rates for the H-tech is A LOT softer then the '05+ G35 w/ sport suspension. the H-tech for Z is 375 spring rate while OEM is 427. thats why i want S-tech which is 402 but 386 up front, oem is 314.

just worried the S-tech Z will lower the G too much. whats others opinions on this?

looks nice. can u get some lighted side shots with the front wheels not turned? I'm trying to decide if I should go with the 350z or the g35 H teins. How much of a drop are these after they sag down?

Finally got around to getting my alignment done. The results are similar to what others on the board have been getting, with rear being close to spec, but front a bit off (not adjustable). I'm not too concerned though, since my rear tires are already wearing at twice the rate of my front tires anyway.

Can you post what your alignment numbers are for both front and back?

Thanks
