Thats what I hope for, eventually I want to get a Top Secret or Kuruma Z front with some ings +1 sides and I'm hoping that I can still drive it without being too low. That would suck if I scraped on a speed bump.

 

I have 350Z S-Techs, and while the drop is nice, driving on Jersey roads really sucks....they are quite stiffer over OEM.

 

How is your OEM height 2 fingers?

My Stock 03 6mt had a 4 finger gap in the front, and 3.5 fingers in the rear.
I installed 350z H-techs and that brought me down to 2 in the front, and 2 in the back (more snug in rear).
I wish I it was a little bit lower but as it is, I can just barely clear my driveway.

 

What are th offsets on your rims? And what tire size? Dis u roll your fenders?

 

how long did it take for your springs to settle in? cause my rear gap is still pretty big?

 

Usually take around a week (i have g stechs) and i'm going to do the spring mount mod to level it out. The rear on mine is also a little higher than the front.

 

i have the z s techs and its been 2 weeks or so. and it still looks kinda high

 

those are some SHINNNY TIRES!!!

 

Might be a silly question, but why do people put 350z stechs on their g instead of g35 stechs?

 

Because 350Z S-techs give you a lower drop than G35 S-techs.

 

^Actually, I think their drop is pretty equal b/c the s-techs only will drop the 350z about 7" all around. I chose the Z s-techs because their spring rate are much closer to the stock sport suspension versus the G s-techs which actually decrease the rear spring rate substantially.

Rabbit - I don't have mine installed yet b/c I'm waiting for the threat of snow to pass. I'm curious about 2 things: 1) how would you compare the ride versus stock and 2) how did your front end alignment end up without a front camber kit?

 

^^^If you use the 350Z s-techs on a G the drop will be about .5" more than if installed on a Z.

If installing on a G35: G35 Tein S-tech have a slightly lower drop when compared to 350Z Tein S-tech. The difference is minimal but still there, the biggest difference is in the spring rates.

To answer your questions:

1. The ride on 350 S-techs is very similar to OEM sport springs, I did not notice too much difference. The front was a little stiffer and the rear was smother, but it took alot of paying attention to notice any difference.

2. My front end alignment was offl, I waited 2 weeks for the springs to settle and got an alignment. Then shortly after I got a front end camber kit since my camber was still off. You can get away with not doing a front camber kit, just know that your tires will wear out faster on the inside. I would suggest doing the front camber, rear camber, and springs all at the same time. The general rule of thumb is use a camber kit if you lower more than 1", and the 350Z S-Techs + springmount mod is more than 1" drop all around.

I no longer have this setup since then I have switched to Coil-overs.

 

What kind of front camber kit did you go with? I'm looking at the ichiba kit but was wondering if it would get me back in spec.

 

SPC front and rear, I don't know much about the Ichiba someone else will have to chime in.
