350z H-techs

I am about to purchase Sevas 20" Rims for the summer, and use the stock 18"s w/ snow tires for winter. My main question is if I drop the car using the 350z H-tech springs, will the switch from 20's in the summer to 18's in the winter cause any problems? Should I install the springs and get them aligned w/ the stock 18's on. Or should I put the springs on and get them aligned w/ the 20's on? Also after every summer and winter, will I have to get the car aligned again? Thanks

Nope you shouldnt have any problems and the ride quality is actually smoother than stock except when you go over a REALLY bumpy road. And you should only have to align it, but wait about a month.

You mean I only have to align it when I put the springs on, or everytime I go from 20's to 18's and back?

I just installed the 350z H-tech's. I'm very happy with the ride quality. You shouldn't have any problems when u switch from 20" to the 18''. Here are some pics of the drop.

If you go 350z h-techs, do the springmount mod as well with SPC rear camber kits, looks much better IMO

If you don't install front and rear camber kits when you install the springs, you will have problems with inner tire wear.

The alignment won't change between the 18's and 20's. Choose the right tire size for the 20's and you'll have the same diameter tires as OEM 18's.

245/30/20 is the correct front tire size
