thanks for the input
i'm getting mine tomorrow, did you install it yourself and did you get the rear camber kit?

 

i just got it installed by another memeber 2 days ago. Still need to get alignment after a month.

 

As an update this weekend I took off my h-techs and went with BC Racing coils Here is the progression....

Stock height


350z H-techs


BC Racing Coilovers

 

looks NICE now!

 

Yes Looks Really Sweet How Is The Ride Is It Same As Stock Or More Harsh?

 

Thanks guys! Right now I've got the dampening adjusters set to the midpoint at 15. Settings go from 1-30 with 30 being the stiffest. At 15 it is more harsh than stock but I'm loving how it rides. I plan on switching today from 15 to 1 to see how that is followed by a few more days back at the midpoint then a few days at 30. I will report back. Got an awesome deal on these badboys and they are worth every penny!

 

okay keep up the update these are valuable information so let me get it the lower the softer the ride and the higher the stiffer the ride?

 

Correct, the higher the number the stiffer the suspension is. Here is a picture of what the little dampening adjustment **** looks like on top of the coil....



This adjustment has nothing to do with the height though. The height can be adjusted as high or low as you wanna go with no effect on the stiffness of the suspension. Here is what one front and one rear looks like....

 

those BC coils look awesome! how much did u get them for? also, how do you know what stiffness level you are on?

 

They are way awesome I'll shoot you a PM about cost and where to get them. I highly recommend them! To know what level I'm on I just turn it all the way soft until it stops and then count the number of clicks . There are 30 clicks between soft and hard.

 

Everyone says the ride is better on 350z H techs vs Stock Sport suspension, any truth to this?

I love my current ride bumps are good and dont want to sacrifice it feeling like a dump truck over bumps.

AFTER


I know a lot of guys like a lower drop, but I wanted the understated look. As far as ride quality goes, I really don't notice any difference bad or good. I think it's a little more flat in turns, but that's probably due to the lower roll center.

 

^nice drop, are those on Z H-techs as well? and if so, did you do the rear spring mount mod?

 

For anyone considering Z H-techs, the front drops nicely about 3/4". My rear did not drop at all. Zip, nada. Weird when you consider the Tein springs are almost an inch shorter than OEM. Supposedly they have a 10% higher spring rate but I still would have expected a drop in the rear. I hate the raked look, so like others on this forum, I cut 1/2" off the springmounts. The rear lowered 1/2". Now the car looks good. Ride is slightly stiffer than OEM from the slightly higher spring rates. No choppiness on OEM shocks. Great mod for those looking for a mild drop. For best handling I would still recommend coilovers.
