Which springs give you lower drop?

Which S-Techs will give me a lower drop on a G35. The 350Z ones or G35 ones?

Spring rates in LBS 358/274 (final rates only, softer intial front progressive rate unknown)

I think they have pretty much the same drop. But the 350z's have stiffer spring ratings.

G35 sedan w/ too much money in mods
From what I've read Z springs drop a coupe 1/2" more than a Z. Same thing with coupe springs on a sedan.

Tein S-tech 350z (fronts are progressive, rears are linear) .7”/.6” drop on 350Z G35 drops will be higher
Spring rates in LBS 386/402 (estimated front intial rate is 327lbs)

Tein H-tech 350z linear springs .3”/.2” drop on 350Z G35 drop will be higher
Spring rates in LBS 358/375

Tein H-tech G35 (fronts are progressive, rears are linear) coupe drop .6"/.3" sedan drop 1.4"/.7"
Spring rates in lbs 324/260 (final rates only, softer intial front progressive rate unknown)

Tein S-tech G35(fronts are progressive, rears are linear) coupe drop 1.2"/.9" sedan drop 2"/1.3"
Spring rates in LBS 358/274 (final rates only, softer intial front progressive rate unknown)


I'm on 350Z H-Tech at the moment.
It looks like front G35 S-Tech have a same spring rate as front 350Z H-Tech

Maybe I should just put on G35 S-Tech on the front and drop rear by cutting rubber mount.

I don't really like other options, they make my rear end too soft or to stiff and make it slide all over the place.

Whatcha think?
