a lot of people have got away without a camber kit with the 350z H-techs. If your planing on doing the spring mount mod you will probably need to look into a rear camber kit.

Sounds like 350z H-techs are the way to go from what everyone is saying. hope mine will be able to get back into specs w/out camber/toe kit.

350z h-techs will give approximately a drop of 0.8 F and 0.7 R for the G, i think im not going to do the sping mount mod. It is hard enough to get around already...plus i dont want to roll my fenders.

most people don't get .7" drop in the rear though, which is why the springmount mod is needed. Usually the rear drop is only .2-.4"

i think you should get the 350z Swift springs..drops aprox.1.3 front and 1.1 rear..and the spring rates are close to stock spring rates for the G35

I need to drop my 04 coupe about 1-1.25" in the front and dont need to drop the rear at all. I am sittin on 20's as well. Would a camber kit be needed with the 350z swift springs? Also how is the ride on them compared to stock? Thanks in advance.

After I had my stereo installed my rear now sits where I want it to be, i dont like the tucked look so a 1-1.25" in the front I will be fine.

that would be a nice drop but then i would have to deal with camber issues? leaning towards 350z H-tech. Anyone know where i can get some good deals on those springs?

I found someone on this site selling their H-techs, brand new in the box, and got them for a great price. Your best bet is to check the vendors on this site, they will give members good prices on lots of great parts for our car!

For all those with coupes, the safe route is with 350Z H-techs. The better looking route is going with 350Z S-techs. Both drop the car very similar in the front but with the H-techs, the rear still leaves a gap that the S-tech can eliminate. The issue with using S-techs is you will definitely be required to get a camber kit thus resulting in higher cost overall. I have the H-techs and I'm satisfied for now. If I had the chance though, I'd probably would have gone with the S-techs. A simple solution for me now is doing the spring mount mod and getting a rear camber kit.

I agree, I got the H-techs. I really like the drop they give but I'm defiantly going to do the springmount mod and I got some rear camber arms on the way. Over all the drop is perfect IMO and I wont have to worry to much about scraping everywhere I go.
