350z h-techs or g35?

 

Looks like the 350Z H Techs are the way to go.

What's the drop on the front and the back?

Can I find these on E-Bay

 

Yes the 350z H-tech on eBay are like $186 shipped! From what I been able to figure the drop should be .8-1" front and .7-.8 rear! I think I may get these! I want to get my car in or super close to spec with out buying camber kits or toe bolts!

 

When I had prokits.. it seemed like it dropped more than the rated drop. I'd definitely get camber kits if you went that route. Also, toe bolts are super cheap.. like under $40 for a pair.

 

350Z H-Techs with the spring mount mod...

 

h-techs are the way to go!

 

Thanks! What was the total drop with and without spring mount mod? Do you have a pic of the car? What size wheels are you running? Could you get the car in spec without camber kits or mods! Thanks so much for your help this is hard to find! Josh

 

Ok I found my answer! Tony from riverside is so helpful. Im not going with any 350z style spring! He was right when you think about it that the 350z is lighter than the g35 so the 350z springs may not handle as well as the springs for the g35! He told me to go with the NF210 springs with F 1" an R .6 and spring mount mod if i want to do that! He said the ride of the NF210 are better than the stiffer PRO kit! He told me softer lowering springs in some way really dont mean the ride will be softer! Just lowering the car will change how the car handle's so why go stiffer on a daily driver! You get the look and the ride quality. Just because the NF210 are softer the coils are tighter closer together and thicker. Its softer to keep the ride but its not really softer if you get what hes saying! So to keep the ride / look and handling he said NF210.

Now about toe and camber kits on lowering springs! He said about 3/4" should get you in spec without having to buy anything! Even at an 1" if it was still a little off why by a camber kits! He was like depending on how you drive your car IF it wore the tires 3000 miles fast and you needed $600 worth of camber its to fix it would it be worth it to buy the parts when the stock camber wears the tires anyways? He said even if you put it to spec are cars ware tires anyways you would be spending $600 to save 3000 miles! Thats a set or half a set of new tires! So how much is the 3000 miles worth + install $$ for the parts when tires are going to still wear!

80% on the boards would always say you need a camber kit to put it in spec maybe true. Now I could see after talking to Tony that maybe if you pushed it past an inch it would pay to have the camber kit! But with just a light drop you dont really have to have it as bad as if you did a 1.7" drop!

Thanks Tony its took 2 days of searching to not even get half the answers you gave me in 20 min! A+ for Tony at River Side Infiniti

 

I have G35 S-Techs that I bought on this board quite a while ago and never got around to installing because my car was leased and I only had about a year left and decided not to spend all the money on camber kits.

I will sell them for $165 if your interested

PM me... I have not posted for sale yet because I've been to lazy to take pictures...

 

Thanks but that's lower than I want to go!

 

^^so wat'd u settle for the tanabes or prokits? i wanna get either one also and no camber kit. i drive less than 5 miles a day anyhow lol

 

Well I think im going with the NF210! I have an 04 coupe on 20" wheels!
My buddy has an 06 coupe on 20" wheels and he got the pro kit! So where going to install the kits and drive for a few weeks then get an alignement and see who gets in spec or who gets close to spec!

His drop on pro's is post to be 1.1 an 1

NF210 drop post to be 1 an .6

 

did you ever get around to installing the nf210? im looking to lower my car too and might go this route also

 

I went with 350Z H-Techs! I didn't care for the nf210 springs making the car look lower in the rear! I went with the H-Techs Do to they give a nice stance and if you want the rear lower you can do the spring mount mod! With the nf210 the rear is all ready lower looking than the rear! There is no mod you can do to the front to even it out on nf210 springs but cut the spring to lower the front more! With the 350Z H-Techs on 20 inch rims with a 35 front and 30 on the rear series tires! I got a tight 1 finger gap front and a tight 2 finger rear. Im running a 1/2 shorted tire in the rear so with a 35 series in the rear i should have about a little over a finger! I may do a 1/2 spring mount mod and the car should have a even drop or the rear may look a bit higher! The car handles better for sure and the ride is a bit softer or the same as my buddies 06 stock sport suspension!

If you want around a 1.1F and 1.R drop my boy just did the pro kit install and the drop looks even! What i thought was nice is the car handles better but the ride is softer than his factory 06 sport suspension! Has a nice ride! He is running 20" with 30 series tires. theres like maybe a finger gap it's tight all the way around!

The 1 thing we found out is when you drop the car on factory struts with springs is the pass rear sits higher. You dont see it as much on my buddies car do to is so close to the tire! We checked and both mine and his is about 1/4 or so higher on the pass rear. We checked both cars to make sure the spring and mounts where sitting right and they are! So im doing the rear spring mount mod to level it out!

 

Ohh that was really helpful!
I might consider the pro kit now than, and maybe with some after market struts too. Is he needing a camber kit with his prokit? Pics of both cars?!
