Gosh, I almost wish I would have gone with G35 htechs, but I just ordered a set of of Tanabe NF210's from Tony at riverside. Its supposed to be very similar drop wise to the 350z h techs, but slightly softer. I hope I can get somewhere near factory specs

g35 h-techs are hardly even noticeable though, thats why you are still in specs, z htechs are a much better option

Has anybody ever tried G35 H-Techs on the front with Z H-Techs on the rear to get a more uniform drop?

hey i was just wondering... i was planning on putting a front lip on my 6mt and installing the eibach sportline springs (-1.6"F,-1.4"R). are the springs adjustable in the front so that i get a balanced stance? or will i most likely have to lose the front lip? also, does anyone have any experience with a good camber kit? i know ill need one for a 1"+ drop

Springs are not adjustable unless you cut them down, which you can't get back.

This is the very reason I am selling my springs and going for coilovers.

If you can find them, the RS-R 350Z springs have a great spring rate and drop.

If you want full adjustablity in drop for front and rear to level it out like it sounds you want, then imo go with coil-overs.
Yes more expensive just springs, but in the long run a better long term investment and better handling performance.
Dampeners are adjustable as well as damper pre-load on coil-over set-ups.
Just my .02.

I'm going with Z-H-Techs when My 20's come in. I've seen them in person with the 20" and the look was right up my alley

2nd choice would be ebach..but..camber kit is not what I'm looking for
at this time.

coilovers when TT gets done..but.. first things first

just my $.02 beans

wait for the coilovers.

but if you can't wait, tanabe df210's provide the perfect drop as far as springs go (for my tastes).

They are only $140 but you WILL need camber kits front and rear on that drop, so add in $600-1000 to the cost
