Hey guys, I just had my g coupe for 2 months now and (I know I ask alot of questions) I want to know why people put 350 h-techs on their g35's. its that 350z or 350 gt?

 

because it lowers it more.

 

but the page shows the drop of the 350z htechs as .28 and .16

 

the primary reason most people go with 350z h techs over g35 h techs is because z h techs have stiffer spring rates.

i also feel that i should mention that i've compared the drop between 350z and g35 h techs in person and the g35 h techs were slightly lower.

 

the rule of thumb is that z springs will drop the g ~0.5" more than the advertised drop for the z. however, i'm not entirely convinced that this applies to all springs. most people that have installed z h techs on a g have been disappointed with the drop, or there lack of, in the rear. as a result, many of cut the rear spring mounts (search the DIY).

 

thanks so is the application of them on a g that makes a bigger drop---but the g h-techs are still lower? correct? I am going to try the h-techs before I go put a bunch of money into any tein basics or cs

 

350z h techs give a bigger drop and stiffer spring rates. many people dont like the g h techs due to being too soft and also not low enough.

 

as a few above have stated, many people choose 350z h-techs because *the vast majority of the time* (according to calvin ) they are usually lower than the g h-techs, and they also have stiffer spring rates (meaning you get a more sporty ride compared to the slower rates of the g h-techs).

however, 350z h-tech springs do have a better ride than sport-tuned suspension'd g's.

 

yea z htechs are stiffer and i think the g htechs give a slightly more of drop but not that noticable...but the rear needs to go down more imo...but like calvin said ppl cut the spring mounts...you can see pics of my car with htechs and of course if u have cf and a light *** exhaust car wont be lower

 

350Z h-tech suppose to lower 350Z 0.3"(f)/0.2"(r) and the G-coupe 0.8"(f)/0.7"(r).

BUT in most case, it's more like lowering the g-coupe 0.8"(f)/0.2"(r), rear lowers just as advertised for 350z. That is why people cut 0.5" off their rear springmount to bring the rear to even.

 

That's right! you know it!

 

DON'T DO IT! You will not like the drop at all (if there is one). The comfort ride is good, but you will be dissappointed if ur looking more for aesthetics than performance.
