while having Z springs in the front by adding rear coupe springs wouldn't the coupe springs sit higher up than if it had Z springs in the rear ?

just wondering becasue I saw people say they get coupe rears to level the car and I have Z springs in all 4 corners and my car sits up just a tad in the rear ???????????

Yup.. the coupe springs will make it sit higher than the Z springs. But if you read in earlier posts or other threads... the rear wheel well of the g's are cut smaller so it appers that the rear sits lower than the front. So if you put z springs in back it will be technically even but it will give it that saggy, tucked tire look. The coupe springs in the rear will give it an "even" apperance even though it's actually sitting a tad higher. Looks MUCH better IMO being that I have seen and experienced both the coupe and z springs in the rear.

I'm gonna revive this one from the dead...

Would S-techs for a 350Z, give me the 1" std drop from a Z, PLUS the 1.5" drop from the Teins?

and the best price i can find for a full set of Z springs is $120 shipped right now.... so if i DO get them, I can always use a 0.25 or 0.50 spacer to raise the rear... right?

The Tein s-techs for the Z do not provide a 1.5" drop, only .7"/.6", so it will only yield you a total drop of ~ 1.7"/1.6" on a sedan

I have never had the springs out of a G, so this may be a dumb question... but is there enough room to use a 1/2" spacer above or below the coil to remove a little of the drop?

Seems like an easy way to customize the height...
