Narrowed my choices between shocks and springs. Getting the suspension blues...
Thinking of getting the Tokico blues that is. The car is a 2003 AT coupe with about 54,000 on the odometer. My goal is to get rid of the gap but not go too low as I am going to get a lip kit in the future. I am also try to get the ride as "happy medium" between sport and comfort. I am not interested on coilovers because I never adjusted the dampening on my MR2 and the height on my civic. I pretty much followed the Ronco motto and set in and forget it. So I think it would be a waste of $$$ and time for me. I also didn't want to purchase a camber kit if possible with my set-up.
I narrowed my spring selection down to either Tein H-tech (.8"/.7") for the 350Z and Swift (1.3"/1.1") springs for the 350Z for meeting the height and linear rate that I was looking for.
As for the shocks I have narrowed it down to the Tokico blues, but which ones? The one for the 350Z or the G35? From what I have been reading the 350z have a short bodied shock? By .25" i believe? Are the dampening rates different? If I am going for a more stock ride should I go with the G?
Thanks in advance!
BTW my wheels will be the 18x9.5 +15/ 18x10.5 +15 SBC

if you get swift springs, you have to get the z shocks which are shorter.
i have 350z h-techs with stock shocks but if i could go lower, id do 350z s-techs with tokico d-specs.

Do you know if I need a camber kit if I go with 350Z swift springs?
you should get at least a camber kit for the rear with toe kit. lowering any amount with increase tire wear. if you get 350z spring id say get 350z shocks. swift springs ride nice, im very happy with them...did you get my pics?
