I'm thinking about buying springs, and I've came passed these cobb springs. I was wondering if you guys have any information about them? Are they reliable and all that? Performance wise, looks and feels?

 

I've had them for a couple years now and I love them. They will need a rear sping mount mod though to level off the rear and they lower a good bit too in the front. Combined with my Tokico D-specs, I've really enjoyed them and the communication and confidence they provide on the road and on the track.



With the spring mount mod:


Without the spring mount mod:

 

I like those wheels, i_Drive. Very sharp, especially in that color. I like the pics w/o the spring mount though - call me crazy, but I like a little bit of wheel gap

 

Yea, great car, thank you for the information. How many inches did you get it dropped?

 

Thanks for the compliments. I took out between .75-1 inch of material from the rear spring mounts, which is a good chunk. They're actually a pain in the *** to cut, so make sure you have a good, sharp hack saw.

I'll agree, I probably would have preferred to keep a little more gap, but I am very happy with how it looks and rides.

 

I like it with the spring mount mod... it's sitting at a good height

 

I've searched around too and these don't really seem to be very popular. Do you happen to have any more pictures? Maybe a little higher angle to get a better view of it if it was to be viewed in person.

These seem to be the only good linear springs that actually have increased stiffness. Everything else is progressive and really soft

 

I think me and iDriveMD are the only members who have Cobb springs

 

Lowered on 18" wheels..no rear spring mod

 

If only those stepped lip 18's didn't look so small haha. I know you got that a lot in your other thread.

Is yours without the spring mount?

 

yea

 

Yea mines will probably turn out like yours Skyline. As long as they seem good performance wise, I might just cop some. Debating on either Cobbs or Tanabes. I could only find Cobbs to drop about 1.7, the Tanabes I saw can go a little over 2. I have a huge "Mt Fuji" bump in front of where I live, so I'm not sure if I can even do 2.

 

performance is nice .. the car feels so much better doing highway speeds..it feels planted and i dont have oem sways but turns without much body roll is def a good thing. tanabe is a a really low drop.

 

Look into Swift Sport springs for the 350Z, also RS-R springs. Both have a great performance setup and a even drop from what I have seen. Both are also a bit pricier.

Also, I've always felt that a combo of Cobb rears with 350Z Tein H-tech fronts would be a nie setup.

Apparently there is an issue with the COBB springs not seating correctly and is actually to big. Can anybody chime in?
