Hey guys,
I'm currently running Tein 350z H-Tech's and the uneven drop in the rear is making me want to kill myself. Looking to upgrade to HKS Hipermax RS coils at some point (I'm an HKS ****) but I'm not ready to drop the $ yet until end of summer.
Are there any springs in the meantime that will give me an even drop front and back without dumping the car or doing the springmount mod? My specifications are as follows
1) I can't have the front be ANY lower than Tein 350z H-Tech, there is pretty much no wheel gap for me as it is, and I'm happy with the front drop as it looks aggressive yet I can still drive it with my aftermarket front bumper almost anywhere.
2) Rear must be similar in that it eliminates wheel gap
Basically, I want to know if there are any springs that will give me the equivalent of a 350z H-Tech drop with the springmount mod. I am not comfortable doing the springmount mod and my friend who is a master tech at Infiniti also advised me that it was probably not the best thing to do.
Any ideas guys? Which springs?????

Both 350z and G35 S-Techs are substantially lower than 350z H-Techs, and the drop is also uneven just like the H-Techs. Originally Posted by RaginRaj11

If I could find a used set of Tein Basics for like $500 that would tide me over until I get some real coils, but this is Maryland not SoCal...people here buy aftermarket parts and they stay on their cars forever.

I know what you're talking about... Always annoyed me. I had the same problem on my Integra and G35. I'm not sure why, but the front and back "evened out" after replacing the struts. I don't know the mechanics of it, but I can confirm it worked on BOTH cars. In both cases I used Tokicos. Blues (non-adjustable) for the Integra and the adjustables (sorry forgot the name) for the G35.
BTW - someone told me the back is often higher to offset future weight being put in the trunk. Not sure how accurate that logic is.
Good luck!

I've recently had the springmount mod done with my Tein H-techs and the front isn't as aggressive as it used to be. The car has evened out and the drop is very moderate but effective. Once you find a way to lower the rear (I recommend the springmount mod) you will gain a little height in the front to help drive with your bumper and the ride wil even out. I take .4" off the rear.
