Need help picking suspension - newbie

I;m really new at the suspension part of the mods and I would like to upgrade from my current setup to something really similar. As of now I'm just running Tein 350z H springs with stillen sways. I like the stiffness of the 350z H but just dont like the rear drop so is there anything comparable to these in coilover rating? Would I be able to buy adjustable struts with damping (if there are any??) to adjust the ht and ride and still reuse my tein springs?

have you looked at the s-techs for the g35. when you buy springs for the 350z the drop isn't as much as if you ordered them from a g35. search for spring rates and compare between h-tech and s-tech. just don't forget to order them for g35 if your looking for more drop

You will not be able to reuse the springs if you want to lower the car more. If you are only looking for a little bit more in the rear you should try trimming the spring mount. It is a cheap part $40 for both and takes not very long to complete it.

You have that backwards, if you buy 350Z springs and it states 1" drop on the Z you will get 1.5" drop on a G35 coupe and 2" on a sedan. Always add .5" for the coupe and 1" for the sedan when looking at Z springs
