omg! another spring question!!! I want a DF210 drop, but higher rate!!

so I am set on having my car dropped with the look of DF210's!
1.7 and 1.3 from what I have been reading.
but I have also read, that it is still around stock rate.
I want a higher spring rate but the same drop the DF210s offer.
so I am thinking a 350z spring. what spring can I use that will equal out to 1.7 and 1.3 but give it a higher rate?

thanks for your help and patience!

yea, unfortunatly I think thats the only choice I have. I have been research all night last night and tonight, and that stickied thread in here with all the rates helped, but I was just looking for someone who maybe had some experiance.
I think your exactly right tho, I just cant afford to spend the 900+$ for the coilovers, I dont really need the adjustability, I just want the right drop and the right rate, I dont need to change it at anytime.
grrr this is frustating.



(thanks for the input tho man)

Hey bro, I had the S-Techs and now I have the DF210s. The rate of the springs is about the same on both from what I can tell. I aslo upgraded my shocks for Tokico D-Specs and that's what actually changes my stiffness. I love the DF210s but if you are not ready for that kind of drop I would just go with the 350Z S-Techs and from what I can tell is what you are going to enjoy more and is actually a pretty nice drop too but at the same time is not too low.

I would appriciate pictures of both, and I do think I am ready for a df210 drop, all of my previous cars have been lowered, but I am still alittle in the air, I am just about sold on the Df210's, but I just got a data front lip, and I dont know how well that will go with a drop as low as the df210's, but I love the wheel gap (or lack of) that df210's give. so Idk if I would be happy with the S techs, I dont want to talk myself into the S techs and regret not getting the df210's esp since you tell me the change of shocks can help with the ride I want.

You can see that much difference but there is. I love the DF210s and they ride awesome for been that low. You will need a camber kit front and back for the DF210 but for the S-Techs you only need a camber kit in the rear.
