Espresso & surfwb86 do you have pics of your drop? I am interested in htech's for the front and was wondering how much of a drop you guys got and would you say the ride has changed?

Is there an option where I wont need any camber adjustments and getting just a 1" drop from just the front end?

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.
The problem with that route is the super low springrates the g35 s-techs have which will result in poorer handling compared to the 350z h-techs with the springmount mod. If you are going to s-techs, get the 350z s-techs, and expect more drop

redlude, as the Springmount Modder-ator, I have a quick questions for you:

If someone has 20x10 rear wheels with +30 offsets and 275 series tires, do you think it will be necessary to roll the fenders if you're dropped on 350z Htechs AND do the springmount mod?

I'm planning to do the springmount mod, but don't want to mess around with the springmount mod if its going to lower the rear to the point where I have to roll the fenders. Any advice is much appreciated. thanks man.

I was looking around and found this..

TEIN S.Tech Lowering Springs (SKP30-AUB00) Infiniti 03-06 G35 (2dr Coupe, V35) Our Price: $156.40

* Avg Lower: F(1.2"), R(0.9")
* Spring Rate: F(358 lbs), R(274 lbs)

How does that sound price wise? With just going with front springs can i avoid going with a camber kit? Also how will the ride quality be compared to stock? Thanks in advance I appreciate the help

Redlude97 mentioned on this page (the g35 s-techs have super low springrates which will result in poorer handling compared to the 350z h-techs). As far as the price, I think that is a reasonable price for the S-techs new. You may want to consider getting a camber kit for the fronts with that drop.

Those spring okay since he's only going to use the fronts, the rears are the ones with really crappy springrates

For the people who already have the Zhtechs installed, how long did you guys wait before getting alignment? 1 month? Where did you go to get it done and whats a reasonable cost?
