I have been thinking about getting some Tein H-techs because I want just a modest drop and I want to even out the height and wheel gap between the front and the back. Anybody with a sedan able to make this happen? I look at some pics and maybe my eyes are fooling me, but it looks like some of them still have more wheel gap in the front than in the back. I have seen very different numbers for what drop to expect. I realize every car is different anyway, too. I've discovered that what's most important to me is that the gap be even with the back or even a hair less than in the back. I hate it being higher in the front. Does anyone sell just front springs? Help me out somebody!

 

Usually sedans deal with this issue by mixing and matching springs from different setups to drop the front more than the rear to even up the wheel well gap. A common setup is OEM 350z springs in the front coupled with OEM coupe springs in the rear, which usually leads to a evenly gapped sedan.

 

Equal wheel gap does not equate to a level car. At least on the coupes, the arch of the front wheel well is a touch higher than the rear (1/2" IIRC).

 

Front fenders have taller opening. You car will not be level with the ground if you match fender gap. Choose your poison

 

Oh my concern is totally evening out the gap. Height to the ground is secondary, or even a non-concern altogether. Unless there are mechanical issues. But I wouldn't mind a slight decline as you look at the bottom of the car from back to front.

 

Tokico springs are pretty good at evening the gap(dropping front more).
I can sell you mine, I swapped them for for 350Z springs

 

Who was the dude with a coupe that got springs and the rear end ended up higher than the front? He cut the little rubber bumper things on the top of the shocks in the back. Could I use those to bump my rear end up just a little bit? I'd like to lower, but the other day I was coming out of a store and scraped the ground just a little bit, and I can just imagine doing that to my Nismo bumper (when I get it) and passing out and getting T-boned in that intersection. So I think if I could just get the gap on the front and on the back to be even, that I'd be happy.

 

So how does one go about buying stuff from an individual on g35driver.com? How does a seller and buyer ensure that neither gets screwed?

 

what you're talking about is the called the "spring mount mod" where folks cut part of the mount to lower it more. You want to do that exact opposite so what you need is a spacer to put between your spring mount and the car.

Or you can look for springs that lower the front more than the back by 1/2 in.

Im a coupe and I ran tanabe DF210s for that specific reason.

 

Maybe you switched the spring by accident

 

hahah yea... like that would rally happen
