got H&R springs

edit these are lowering springs..

edit : first off their h&r springs (#53050) made for a 350z ...
lowers a 350z 03-and up
1.3 front 1.0 rear


now im not sure if its a good idea to just mount them on with the stock struts ..

i hear its ok .. to use them on stock struts

&

i hear it will kill your stock struts in a few months ..

eventually i was thinking on koni yellows or billsteins

what to do what to do ..

wait till i get new struts

or

from what i hear if you have sport suspension you will be ok

I have also heard that if you get shocks from a coupe or 350z it will be even better due to the shorter shock stroke.

Would be a cheaper option than the koni's

Have you mounted them yet? What model name H& R's is that?

I hear that when doing Z springs add .5" to the drop

so it would be like 1.8" in front and 1.5" in rear

Talk to Da Mayor he has them on his sedan and what I remember he has z struts/shock. I would get the revised struts/shock, also look on my350z.com for maybe some tokico d-specs or koni. Find them alot cheaper than new.

Having tested 350z Tokico D-spec springs with Koni's and tracked how limited the amount of shock piston stroke was even with MUCH shorter cut down Koni progressive soft bump stops. And they don't drop as much as the H&R's your running 1"/1". Do something as quickly as you can to kick your oem sedan shocks to the curb. If the Koni's I was running would have had the ability to adjust more then just rebound control, I might have been able to make things ok. So, in your case that rules out Bilstein's too. The only choice I would go with would be D-specs ment for the Z, they are double adjustable for rebound and compression dampning. Knowing what I know about shock travel issues, I have Truechoice phase IV front shocks with shortened bodies and piston rods. Getting the bump stops way too envolved in everday wasn't cutting it.
