good point, the 350z h techs are a little softer. i wonder if the fact that the front is stiffer makes up for it.

Anyone notice a loss of rear control?

im sure you can figure out which is which

FYI

This is a deceiving pic as the drop is not as low as it appears. The reason being the guy who put the G H-Techs is running bigger/wider rubbers on the rear tires, thus the finger gap is less than it actually would be on stock size tires. I found this out while searching thru posts.

jdmeg21, thanks for the DIY, (That should be in the DIY section!)

I did my car last night....




These are the only pics I've had time to take. The weather is sucky here, so maybe this weekend.
Just for those who are intrested in the stats,
06,
Tein S-tech for G35,
Sevas S22, 20x10 and 20x8.5, 285s on the back. +25 offset

I rolled the fenders (Big Props to accordfreak for the DIY!) , just in case. I didn't want to find out the hard way that it rubbed... It looked like it would though, besides, i'd let the heat out of my garage if I went and drove it...

One quick note about the DIY, If you set the entire front end up on jack stands, the sway bar links come out like cake, vs doing one side at a time...

Also, a little hint, I used painters tape to hold down my speed sensor lines. I taped them to the lower control arm, with a little slack so if you need to press down on the rotor to get out the strut, (you prolly will) you won't pull on the line.

Otherwise, That was friggin easy! (try doing a Scion tC.)

Great DIY!
