WTF?!? $790 to install springs??

i hope that 0 at the end is an accident and its $79. if youre getting them installed for $79 then woohoo for you but if youre getting them installed for $790 then youre gettin JIPPED

spring install should range from 150-225. some places will even do it for a 100 but thats rare..

I had all 4 corners, shocks, springs and struts replaced on both my wife's maxima and my G35 sedan for $200 per car at Woodlands Performance and Suspension. Shop around before you give your money away.

So, you really shouldn't need any kind of camber kit for the G35(htech) springs, but with the 350z(htech) springs you might need a camber kit? If the drop all around is close to 1 inch .. that could lead to some uneven wear, no? Someone please correct me if I'm wrong. Also is the $139 shipped price for the 350z htechs or the G35?

thanks in advance.

you should not need a camber kit for either. the general consensus is that you do not need a camber kit for any drop less than an inch. gdup35sedan works are firestone and was able to get a coupe with 350z h techs back into specs. anything more than an inch youll definitely want to consider a camber kit. oh, and i say you shouldnt need a camber kit because every car out there is different. no one car is the same and its possible that you may need one, but its unlikely. most people with 350z h techs can get by without camber kits.

jscspeed <--site sponsor. i think the site is jscspeed.com

give them a call. ask the price for 350z h techs. they should then ask you if you heard about a special price somewhere and where. either way, if they ask or not, tell them youre from g35driver and the should give you the discounted price of 139 shipped. unless that was a limited time sale that was going on..but i think that price is good as long as youre a g35driver member.

youre welcome

oh, funny thing at speed and truck world yesterday, they were saying that nobody on this forum knows what they are talking about, because the G35 is heavier than the Z,i should put G35 S-tech instead of the 350z h-tech..

Well the G35 S-Techs are 18% softer than stock Coupe spring rates:

Tein S-tech G35 coupe & sedan (fronts are progressive, rears are linear)
Spring rates in LBS 358/274 (final rates only, softer intial front progressive rate unknown)
Stiffer or softer then oem springs by R+14% R-18%

I don't think most people are happy with softer rear springs. There are a LOT of people on this forum running Z H Techs (hopefully I'll be one of them soon), and I have yet to find anyone who's NOT happy with them. FWIW.
