Hey everyone, I figured i'll take the cheaper route and just buy some springs to lower my coupe eventually. I'm rolling on some rimes that are similar in width to the 19' oem ray rims, but 1in larger in diameter (245/35/20). What spring would you recommend for a low enough drop where fender rolling wont be necessary, no rubbing, and about 1 (possibly 2) fingers fitting in between the fender and tire all around....

I'm thinking of going with the Tanabe df's....

Any advice would be awesome!! Thanks

 

Depends on the year of the car but I think for 03-04s the 350z OEM springs would be a great fit.

 

Do you have a coupe or a sedan?

 

I just order some 350Z HTechs for my 20s on 05 Coupe. After doing so much researches I decided to go with Tein with a Moderate drop. I don't want any rubbing or rolling fender as well as dealing with camber issues. Z HTechs is the way to go.

 

You will still need a rear camber kit (SPC works.)
Otherwise, plan on replacing threads often.

Hopefully, you ordered the Z H-Techs, they are pretty close
to the rear spring rate and fronts are a little bit stiffer then OEM
sport suspension.

 

I just ordered some Tanabe DF210 springs. Drops: front 1.7in & rear 1.3in . I have rear cambers so that should be good. You think I might need front cambers as well? After adding the 20's, it did lift the car up slightly so a 1.7 inch drop won't be too slammed. What do you guys think, would I have to order some front cambers? Cuz unfortunately I recently sold some I had ....

 

Yep.

 

Yep, I ordered the Z H-Techs. How long you think the threads is going to last if I don't have rear camber kit? Hopefully it won't wear out that quick becuase I might sell the GT-C along with ok tires threads.

 

You dont even need a rear camber kit for the Z H Techs, i have them and im rollin on 20's. My rear camber is perfect, it's the front you gotta worry about.

 

I would definitely do the spring mount mod for the rear. Otherwise your rear will be up and not leveled. After that I would be extremely surprised if your camber was perfect. The fronts really have no adjustment so you will be out -1or2* You may be fine without the mod but doubt it.

 

im dopped on z h techs i did not do the spring mount mod and i car has an even dropp.

my alignment was able to be put back to stock setting all four wheels

 

I hope mine can come out like yours but we'll see.
