hey guys, i know i dont know much about this but looking for exatcly one inch drop on my g coupe. what do you guys recomend to be the best. I am looking for ride quality more than anything (if there is any difference between them)

 

The H-Techs are very popular. I went with TEIN G35 S-Techs and I absolutely love them!

The ride is actually MORE luxurious when compared to stock, and the drop is perfect.

 

^ oh and do some searching this topic is totally played.

 

the eibachs will ride smoother, they have progressive springs. Your handling will be worse than with the h-techs, which have stiffer linear springrates similar to stock. The eibachs are softer than stock

 

Don't the eibachs pro's settle to a little stiffer than stock?

 

no.

 

thanks redlude. Ii I am not mistaken, for better ride quality then the eibachs are the ones?

 

yes, at a cost

 

what cost? the handling?

 

yep

 

Lol I'm such a suspension noob. So redlude, you'd go with 350z S-tech over g35 eibach pro-kit, but what about g35 sedan S-tech vs g coupe eibach pro if they were the same price?

Just asking for opinions since I'm about to get a sweet deal on a coupe eibach pro-kit, but I want performance over anything. Ride quality and drop is worthless to me.

Sorry for hijack naci24.

 

Any one got pics of the eibach pro drop and 350z s-tech drop?

 

If handling is what you want then save up and buy some coilovers...

Springs aren't really going to do much but give you a drop. Also your stock struts will go sooner if you're using aftermarket springs.

 

You sound like me apx. 1 and 1/2 months ago.

I wanted a luxary drop (apx. 1") and after researching this forum - night and day - I finally decided to go with the 350Z H-Tech. I find that the S-Tech would be way to low - cost way to much in camber kits etc. -.

I purchased them from a source on e-bay and the service there was great. I believe his website was www.HighPerformanceOutlet.com

Charged me $179 (USD). I live in Canada - but my brother lives in the US. I had it shipped to him. I expect to recieve it within the next week or two and will let you know how it looks installed. PS. I drive an 2005 Black Coupe
