350z S-techs or G35 S-techs

Tein 350z S-techs or Tein G35 S-techs.

So i feel that i've read a ton of posts on the suspension forum now, and have i narrowed down to one of these springs, but need to figure out once and for all:

MY CAR: 06 G35 Coupe, with Sport Suspension package, OEM 19's, with 25mm spacers for all the wheels. Will one day possibly upgrade to 20" wheels, but for now that's what i'm running.
NOW: Questions:

1. Which will lower my car more.

2. Which will give me a better, more comfortable ride.

3. Anything else I need to know about these springs?

Anybody with pictures of your car on these springs would be great.

thanks in advance for the help on this.

1. 350z stechs
2. G35 stechs
3. The 350z version has better springrates and offer better performance with a ride similar to stock. The g35 stechs have significantly softer springrates than stock, and are more comfortable at the cost of handling performance. You will likely need front and rear camber kits for either set of springs if you are concerned about tire wear

based off of what? Its widely accepted that 350z drops are more than g35 drops. Also, how would that change my second answer?

i always thought that the 350 s tech didnt lower as much as the g s techs just from the searches ive done but i found this other thread that shows all the drops for all the different springs and coilovers so i guess i was mistaken... but theres not a hugh difference when the difference is only about .2 inches i guess

check the suspension sticky. 350z springs lower the G half inch more than they lower the Z.

I like the 350Z S-Techs better because the spring rate is a little firmer than stock and drops the car a little lower. Why put softer than stock springs on the car?
