Rut-Row, that was a late response

They are going to arrive TOMORROW! CRAP!

 

if you have the money... of course coilovers are the best way to go.

 

Wadd3456 Did you go with the 350z or G35 STechs?

 

he got g35 s techs

 

Yes sir

 

ANyone know anything about cutting the upper rubber mount when installing springs? I did an s tech install on my coupe, and the drop is no where near the advertised drop. I also did not cut the bump stop, i know that has nothing to do with ride height, but did i make a mistake somewhere? I read that you dont need to cut the bump stop, but the car droped 3/4 of an inch in the front, and i cant even notice the drop in the back. WTF?????

 

Did you get the G35 or 350z stechs? How long ago ..give time for them to settle. Did you install them correctly...if they are seated incorrectly you will defentally not get the drop...sorry i might be saying the obvious..I have the G35 s techs and the drop looks correct.

 

I have the G35 S Techs. I put them in on Saturday, i didnt get a change to drive the car cause its still in the shop waiting to be painted. Im pretty sure everything is done right. Im hoping that the springs just need time to settle. i didnt move the car much at all. Are you still on stocks? I have seen the same springs on many coupes, and none of drops look the same. User Nismoboy's car looks great, but my car is sitting no where near his drop, and he has the exact same thing.

 

Tried to get my alignment dont yesterday..but my car was to low for the lift..lol do you guys know any nation wide shops that can do alignment on lowered cars?

 

where are you located? do you have a body kit?

my friend with a kenstyle kit and lowered on coupe s techs was able to get on the lift at firestone

Your camber isnt great but not too bad. What do you mean by "how much is a degree?"

SAI is steering axis inclination. http://www.familycar.com/alignment.htm
