Question about springs and lowering.

Which springs would give me the biggest drop?

I was going to get some tein S tech springs but recently I've been seeing "350z tien H tech" in peoples sigs.

So do the 350 H techs give a bigger drop than the G35 S techs? I'm looking to get the biggest drop w/ springs without having to go with coilovers.

I'm planning to lower my G w/ M45 19" rims so I don't want to spend my rim money on coilovers...

Thanks!

H-techs drop less than s-techs and buy less I mean the car sits higher on H-techs

I have M45 19"s on factory springs and Joker has them with H-techs so check out pics of both of our rides and see for yourself if you like it

Ahh.. Man it was both of those coupes that make me want to get the M45 rims.

Both are hot but i'm definitely gonna lower.

So, basically are the G35 S techs the lowest drop you can get? What about the 350Z s techs?

300 bucks a rim brand new isn't that bad.. Those are real OEM too not replica.

remember $1200 for the wheels isnt bad but what about tires? I know the OEM bridgestones go for ~$245 a piece...your best bet is to find someone selling used

You can drop more with Tanabe's than with Tein..but at that point youll be needing camber kits front and back..

Just to bump this thread... What is the benifit of running 350z springs on the G?

What is the lowering difference between the G35 S-techs and teh 350Z S-techs? Are the Tanable's still lower than any of the Teins?

Any aftermarket spring for the Z will lower the G half an inch more then a aftermarket G spring will

yes thetanable's are still lower than any of the Teins

Also, the s-tech Z-springs have a higher spring rate than the G springs.

Hope you're factoring in camber correction costs with those springs

And it's settled about another third of an inch.
