so would u get the stechs or prokit, considering that the eibachs will give a more even drop, at the cost of softer springs and sagging over time, while the stechs will be stiffer and wont sag but wont give as an uneven drop?

I'll be getting the front A arms in the future if tire wear is way too bad

FINALLY, will using the htech front springs and stech rear springs be ok?

thanks again dude, i got so much help from you even from the problems with springmounts if u remember? duno where id be without this forum....

 

BUMP!

 

The drop with the s-techs and springmount mod IS even, you problem is you are looking to lower the rear more than the front, which I will never recommend to anyone, it shifts the weight balance of the car around and can mess up the handling characteristics, which were already messed up by you running a tire in the rear that is too short. You keep trying to fix something that isn't a problem, and not attacking the correct source, the rear tire size

 

hmmm ok i didnt know the uneven drops would mess up handling.. still a noob at all this..

but makes me question how the previous owner treated the car if they ran some retarded tire setup..

lol and garyc i wasnt purposely trying not to listen to good advice..guess I was trying to find the cheap way out..lol

thanks again guys..guess ill be changing tires soon..

 

running almost the same setup 35's in front, 30's in back (bad advice from a homie) & i got g35 h-techs. u need to change the rears to 35's. but switched to pro-kit first. the drop is lil bit lower than the s-techs without the big camber issue (should be fine). but u do need to invest in a 35 tire for the rear eventually.

 

how much did ur prokit drop? I think ill run into camber issues up in the front with those given my 350z htechs dropped that low. and yea gonna be switching tires asap..maybe even 40's for the OEM rims

 

1 inch front / 1.1 back (will sag some eventually)

 

I am interested in why you think the springs will sag? good springs wont sag. especially Eibach which is one of the best brands/quality of springs.

The spring mounts will settle in a little but not much.

Also, I am not sure which Eibach kit you are looking at but the ones for my car are progressive and match spring rates of my stock springs initially and then get hella stiffer when compressed. Are the Tein just really stiff compared to Eibach?

 

The sagging I was just referring to other members who have had problems with that in other posts.

I am also looking at the prokit from eibach with springrates 229-337 for the front and 274-463 for the rears. I have the sport suspension which gives me 314 front and 427 rear LINEARLy so the initials of the prokit arent even close to my stock springs.

Currently have the Htechs which are very close to the OEM spring rates, and Stechs are a bit stiffer than these

 

Cool.


I was noticing that the front wheel arches are larger (higher) than the rear on my sedan. Is that one reason people think they have an uneven drop?

Here is mine on Eibach pros. its more than a 1.1" drop because its an X.

 

Yes, this is why people use Z springs in the front and coupe springs in the rear

 

I've got NO idea on sedan stuff lol. Redlude's the man

 

How are you off 4.4% in the rear with the VDC not lit up constantly? I would have thought that'd be enough to make it very unhappy.
