^^ you should've at least gotten the Z H-techs, the spring rates are higher and closer to the OEM sports suspension springs. when I got my Z H-techs, the ride hardly changed at all

i think you may have confused more people with your clarification, but point taken on running the risk of damaging your wheels in the process. Originally Posted by DRG35R

for those interested in having your tires demounted, moved to the other side of the car, remounted and reinstalled, it should cost you less than 100 bucks. a shop in socal quoted me 60 and per some other folks on the forum say it can be done for as little as $20-40.
in any event, i think he's better off getting the front camber arms and doing it the right way

Well I just decided to stick with the 350z H-techs..did the springmount mod today after a few problems, and I'm THROUGH with suspension for awhile..
btw.. since I jacked up the car will it take a couple days for the springs to settle back to where they were? I cut 1/2" on the springmount but apparently it dropped only about 1/4"
I was expecting to see immediate results so I can be satisfied with the work, but I'll be pretty disappointed if it stays the same :/
Anyways thanks everyone for all the votes and advice

Anyways, I'm riding on 350z Tein H Techs and my rears are in spec but my fronts are ever so slightly cambered....I just live without the camber kit.
If you have the G35 H Techs though, I heard they give you an extra .3" drop over the 350z H Techs....camber kit could be a necessity.

Is this true? I thought the 350z H-techs had a lower drop then the G35 h-techs?

If you want better spring rates I would get some RS*R Down 350Z springs instead of the Tein S Techs...
