Im not trying to steal the thread or anything, but would the g35 coupe h-techhs eventually damage the factory sport tuned suspension? Also, would the g35 h-techs DECREASE the handling performance from the stock sport suspension springs? I know most springs will eventually ruin a suspension but I was wondering since these are such a small drop if it would matter.

g35 h-techs won't ruin the sport suspension since the drop is only .3" in teh rear. It will ruin the handling of the car however due to the extremely low rear spring rates( about half the sport suspension). Don't get the g h-techs if you are on the sport suspension. You are better off getting a set of revised 350z springs which barely drop the car but have the same springrates at the sport suspension package.

^ i was gonna buy the prokit also but like everybody else on here, ive become a tein zombie...i already have a car thats lowered ( acura rsx ) with some tanabe df210 and to be honest, it drives like crap with all the bounce and bottoming out, but the drop looks great... im not going that route with my G, so tein seems the best mix of looks and performance

just installed my 350z htechs and G Dspecs...love it! But i'll have to do the rear extensions this weekend. What do you dspec owners have it set at? I currently have it at 2 1/4 turns from the firmest setting.

My install took way longer than I expected because even though I had power tools...just seemed like i was running into ****.
First the struts wouldn't come loose...it's like they were stuck onto the bushings...and the rear springs gave me hell. The bottom spring cushion or whatever its called, didn't sit right, it would shift to one side when I compressed the spring. So yea, that x2!! Took me about 5 hours...first time is always long, but if I have to do it again for some reason next time, it shouldn't take long.

so wat u are saying is that the 350z h-techs will not damage the sport suspension even after like 12 years and will not hurt performance?

What does revised mean?. Thanks

Almost any shock will be work after 12 years, as far as hurting performance, its kind of a tradeoff, lowering the center of gravity helps performance while the slightly softer rear springs can lower performance. The added camber will also help with performance. I however haven't noticed a difference in performance between the two so i would say the only benefit to the h-techs are the lower stance.

Revised springs refer to 350z OEM springs on 04.5+ models, they got stiffer springs that match the springrates of the coupe with the sport suspension package. Its said that it will lower the car .5" if used on a coupe, but the few people who have swapped the spring only ended up with ~.3" drop. Hardly noticeable, but you don't give up the stiffer rear springs.
