Question then, if the Z H-Techs make your car bouncy, will the G H-Techs do the same thing? Or is it the difference in spring rates from Z to G? I just got G H-Techs and haven't put them on yet, I got them because I didn't want to have to get a camber kit, but the last thing I want is the bouncy mini-truck look.

Bounce ususally has to do with shocks, not springs.

I can't understand one bit how the Z H Techs would make a car bouncy. They are almost exactly the same in terms of drop and spring rates as the revised 350Z OEM springs I have on my car right now and those are great.

I have experienced bounce before when I had OEM shocks with lowering springs--here the shocks could not compensate for the lowered ride and things got bouncy when going over undulating pavement.

I have Tein 350Z H-Techs with Tokico D-Spec adjustable shocks and the ride is great. I didn't have any issues with a bouncy ride with the oem shocks. The drop is slight at approx. 0.7", but didn't want to mess with camber issues and cost. Th alignment is very close to factory specs with even tire wear.

What model D-Spec did you go with? DSP-7 or DSP-9? What settings are you using front and rear? Thanks.

I think the 350z H-techs give the G a perfect drop. The only issue I have with them is the fact that the rear doesnt drop as much as the front; The rear drop isnt noticeable.

I also don't like the fact that the Stock Sport Tuned Suspension has better spring rates than the Z H-Techs (atleast for the rear).

If I had to choose between all the Techs, it would definately be the Z H-Techs, followed by the Z S-Techs.
