So I want to go to 19" wheels next year, which means I'd probably have to drop my ride. Now keep in mind I live in New England, so I can't go nuts getting down low. Do you think the H Techs will drop the ride enough with 19s so it doesn't look like I'm driving a 4x4?

Also I don't need a camber kit with the H techs correct?

 

Get some 350Z H-Techs and do the "springmount" mod: https://g35driver.com/forums/brakes-suspension-diy/137046-diy-cutting-rear-springmount-aka-springmount-mod.html

You don't necessarily need a camber kit since this is a minor drop, but getting one would prolong the life of your tires. You may also want to replace/upgrade your shocks too.

 

where in NE are you? what ^^ said

 

Don't know if this helps since I have a Sedan but....

I'm happy with the ride quality of the H-techs and the increased stability and handling. Sometimes I DO wish it was just slightly lower but then I would have rub issues and I have to roll the fenders. When I got 2 people and my son in the car, its dumped. 1 more 150-200 lb person and ill be hitting the fenders. I didnt have to upgrade any more suspension but you might want to for the tires. Also I didnt upgrade my shocks, they are holding up very well.

Im running on 19x8.5-245/35 in FRONT and 19x9.5-275/30 in REAR.

Ive seen COUPES with H-techs and honestly I think it's barely noticable, but then again people can barely notice my drop also. . Any COUPE owners vouch?

Here's a pic of my drop:

 

RealZ1 - are you on G H-Techs?

 

Yes sir!

 

That's a nice looking drop on your sedan. But from what I have seen on the coupes, the G H-Techs barely drop it at all, almost not worth the trouble.

 

Thanks BRO! I dont get too many compliments on the drop.

Sorry, I dont wanna jack your thread!

 

I'm down in Providence, RI.

Nice write up on the DIY. Never done any suspension work, maybe I'll pop my cherry on this one. How tough is it to do springs?

I was just gonna pay the dealer the insane amount of money they wanted to do it.

 

My coupe is on G H-Techs. Its a mild drop, but in about 2 weeks you are going to really tell once they settle. Its perfect if your in pothole city....

 

Man, I'd like to go with the S techs, but the roads here are HORRIBLE. Plus as my daily driver I do like a bit of comfort.

 

i have 350z h-techs and no you dont need a rear chamber kit but i think i wanna go lower...

 

I was slammed in my Integra & it was bad on my tires, wheels, bodykit, & my ****...I said I would never do it again.

My EG6 was pretty dumped and I had to deal with the arms, axles, CV boots, shocks, uneven tires, etc. I would never wanna go that route anymore. When I had my G coupe I was pretty content with the stock set-up, although I did admire the look and styling of a lowered coupe, ONLY if it was done right! The sedan had way too much gap so I decided to go with H-techs to keep the ride nice while having a small drop.

Someone once told me, "We drive luxury cars now! No use dumping it and making it un-luxurious, we drive it for convention."

 

Anyone have any pics of a coupe with H techs and 19s? I'd love to see what they loook like.

I DEFINITELY don't want to sacrifice alot of ride quality that's for sure. But I'm looking @ the KenStyle kit so I gotta do something.
