rsr 350z springs

so these are the last set of springs ive settled on...if i cant figure it out, im just not doing springs.

eibach pro - progressive rates and would require camber kits so no.
350z h-techs - perfect drop but rates way softer than my sport tuned susp so no.
rsr 350z - very close to my current rates, drop appears similar to h-techs.

now here are my questions...anyone have these springs? any pics of the drop? alignment issues - camber kit necessary? where and how much did you get these for? any other feedback? makin my fronts stiffer and rears a little softer - how would that affect my current ride/handling?

info on the springs -

Oem springs G35 coupes 2005/2006 only with oem 19’s only 350Z 2004.5 to 2006
Front:314 Rear:427

RSR 350Z linear springs .6”/.6” drop on 350Z G35 drops will be higher
Spring rates in LBS 345/417
Stiffer then oem by F+10% R+22% (see note at very top)

Here are some images. The front is fairly low. I will occasionally scrape a speed bump unless I go over it very slowly. I like the look though. The car holds the road a bit better while the ride is just as comfortable as stock. I'm using Tokico D-Specs which are set just slightly firmer than full soft. I definatley need a camber kit in the front and could use it in the rear. I'm waiting for the SPC kit for the front. I'd say the front went down about 1.2 inches and the rear about 1 inch, but it has been a while since I did the drop and don't remember all the numbers. I bought my springs through this forum so I don't know where to purchase them originally.

Just out of curiosity, where did you get your information on the stock spring rates for the 05-06 g-coupe?

I had RSR Ti Springs on my Evo and loved them.
After reading this thread I will be looking at the RSR 350Z springs when and if I lower the G. I have sport suspension and the RSR rears are right where I want them.
