S-techs are lower than H-techs...so basically, how low do you wanna go?
s-techs lower the car 1.2" in the front and .09" in the rear. H-techs are .06" front and .03" rear...a very subtle drop. I have had both on other cars. I started with the H-techs and then swapped them out for the S-techs. I vote for the S-techs because you may not be satisfied with the other.

These are the s-techs:

To begin with I'd go with the Tein 350Z H-Techs and you can check them out at www.tein.com for the exact drop or you can take the advice from a member that runs a leather bra.... Keep in mind springs are just the beginning when you lower a G35. Needed so you don't eat tires are toe adjusters out back and adjustable a-arms up front along with a four-wheel alignment. Find a competent independent brake/alignment shop in your area, don't bother with dealerships....this needs to be done right!

Not if you have my KurumaZ front bumper, with Tein S-Techs I couldn't get in or out of my driveway and speed bumps would be far more hazardous than they already are....

That's why one of our members spent 4 hours at the dealership while they attempted to do his alignment. My shop gets it done correctly, all 4 wheels in 40 minutes. He isn't rushing he just knows how to do his job, can't say that for the dealership....not to mention and higher cost!

HAHAHA! That was the pic and specs I got from TEIN's web site. Pretty funny comment though. I agree, leather bra=LAME.

To add to what he was saying, I've seen a lot of guys opt for 350 springs over the ones for the G35.

well i cant account for other dealers that cant do the job right, but mine does. anyone that goes through bradshaw infiniti will get the job done right. yes, prices are steeper than that of a regular shop, but....it's the dealer. and i do alignments in around 25 min on average on Gs, FXs, Ms, QXs take a few more for caster adjustment. and for aftermarket suspension adjustments obv there will be more time, but i agree.....4 hours is rediculous....esp if he was waiting on it.
