Question Any Springs to Run on 2006 Coupe with OEM Shocks?

I threw on some 245/35/19 tires up front and I really feel like that made my front wheel gap even MORE than it was before, lol. I don't really want to drop my car with shocks and springs and have to get camber kits and all of that headache. I know it looks 100x better I've lowered every car I've ever owned, lol.

Anyway - are there any springs that drop the car maybe 1/2 - 3/4" and that I can run with the OEM shocks? I would even throw on some front only springs to help kill some of that ugly front wheel gap. The rear doesn't seem to have the same type of gap.

Thanks!

I'm just wondering if I pick up some Tein H-Tech springs for a 2006 350Z will they fit perfect with OEM shocks? And not make any noise? I've read they seem to ride softer than the OEM springs?

if u get the teins for a G, the drop is less... you can always get a used set of 350z springs and you should be fine.

MJH, sounds like you just installed some Falken 452 tires. I just got these new tires and like you, I don't like the front gap due to the lower profile 245/35 tires. I have done my research and I believe you want to install the 350Z Tein H-Techs for a subtle .8" front drop and .3" rear. I'm looking at doing the same thing. Don't want a too extreme drop where I'll be scraping speed bumps/parking stops/driveways.

Rear spring mount what does this mean? I really just want my front and rear to be about even, so maybe I should just install the Tein H-Tech springs and not do anything extra?
