Did any of you lowered your coupe that originally came with sport suspension (sports package)? I really like how my G35 handles with the original sport suspension, but would love to lose about an inch all around. I'm looking into putting tein s-tech + camber kit, and would like to know if it will handle as well or better than the original ones.

Your looking at the wrong S-tech, you will not get what you want.

Your oem spring rates
314/427

Tein S-tech G35 coupe 1.2”/.9” (fronts are progressive, rears are linear)
Spring rates in LBS 358/274 (final rates only, softer intial front progressive rate unknown)

This is the S-tech kit to get to get what your after. Much better spring rates.

Tein S-tech 350Z springs 1.2“/1.1“ drop on G35 coupe (fronts are slightly progressive, rears are linear)
Spring rates in LBS 386/402 (estimated front intial rate is 327lbs

Regarding front camber kits I don't think it's really nessary. I for sure got the spc rear and did the springmout mod.... Just get a good alignment and you're good.

its necessary if you go s-tech, especially 350z

you can barely squeeze by with z htechs... and not everyone can.

Thanks. I've been doing alittle research myself and I do agree with you. Now I'm thinking, with the springs, new shocks(most likely needed), and camber kit, it would be better/easier to go with coilover. I know it costs more, but if I add up all the things I needed to get springs done the difference wouldnt be that great. Not to mention better result.

Your only other option would be to go 350Z h-techs and then do the rear spring mount mod.
Then just slap on the rear spc camber kit.
The front still might be in spec with the h-techs.
But if u have the cash u can go the coilover route.

any idea how much of a drop Revised 350z springs will give me on a sports suspension coupe?
