So I've been searching around the forums and couldn't seem to find too much information about the affects of using stock oem shocks with the 350z eibach pro kit. Keep in mind that my car came with the OEM 18s. I've heard positive experience from people who ran tein s-techs along with their stock shocks. How would the 350z eibach pro kit compare? There isn't very much information on this. The eibach pro is quite stiffer than the s-techs and I like the 1.5" drop. The s-techs 1.2"F and 1.1"R is a bit too high for my liking. My ideal drop is 1.5". Thanks in advance.

Yeah I've looked at those but many people complained that those springs were too soft

 

Haven't looked it up but would imagine that the spring rates are stiffer for the Z so it would wear your OEM shocks out faster. I would at least get OEM Z shocks to go with the Z pro kit.

This ride is on Eibach Z Pro Kit springs and Tokico D Spec shocks for the Z (DSP-9).

^ what do you think about the gf210 ? It's not as stiff and drops the car pretty low. Will that greatly damage my oem shocks?

 

If they get you low and that's what you are looking for then go for it. You should know that aftermarket springs will wear your stock shocks out more quickly that OEM springs. That is why I recommend just getting coils from the start, you'll be able to dial in your ride height exactly how you want and have a spring/shock combo that was intended to work together. (This is coming from someone who had Eibach Pro Kit springs and Tokico D Specs prior to coils).

 

Do you know how much faster the shocks will die? I'm planning to get some tokico shocks later but I'm a poor college kid. I'm not looking to mess with the height or stiffness settings even if I had coilovers because I think that's just a ***** having to have an alignment everytime after you mess with the settings. That is why I'm trying to just find the best drop possible. Do you know if I can use the tokico HP instead of the d-spec? What exactly is the difference between the two. The HP is a lot cheaper and I'm leaning towards that since I'm kind of on a strict budget. Thanks again.

 

Btw, do you have a coupe or sedan ? Do you have any pictures of your car when you ha the eibach pro ?

 

I have a Sedan. Here was my car on Eibach Pro Kit springs. It was a 1.1" drop F/R, definitely not anywhere near low enough.

 

Oo alright thanks yeah the rear is still kind of high compared to the front. Sorry, what's the difference with the tokico HP and the D-spec ? The HP is a lot cheaper, can I run those?

 

HPs don't have dampening adjustment whereas D-specs do.

 

Oh alright thanks a lot for all the info!
