your on z springs?

 

i did. all the springs you listed have a lower spring rate then stock besides the stock z springs which is looking like my best bet

 

looks good i think im going to go this route. how much should a set of stock z springs cost and no camber issues right?

 

None for me.
You can get them used for like 50 bucks, it's how much me and a few other local guys here with g coupe's got theirs for. Check my350z they should have a few for sale.

I'd get the revised 350z springs, I believe they are 07-08s... they are the ones I have.

 

Yeah, GTRACER, I have Tein 350Z H-Techs.

And I had the same concern, i.e., im looking for springs to get a slight drop .5-1.0 inch so i wont have to really worry about camber and can still go over speed bumps.

But it's fine, as I go over a patch of uneven road, with a raised pothole at its highest point, that I was able always blast over - or shall I say bounce over 9ever so slightly) -every day.

Still do.

In fact, shock-spring relationship seems better.

I don't grasp how they work in concert well enough to explain; look at the attachment, which is one of the technical explanations I've seen.

Point being - and someone correct me if I'm wrong - I understand that 6MTs are stardard-equipped withthe sport suspension package..............which includes upgraded shocks, to properly balance w/spring rate increases.

That's why I studied spring rates so that the shocks don't require automatically changing also, if we're wise (to Tokico HP Blues or Tokico D-spec Adjustables).

Still plan on getting the HP Blues, but I'd done Eibachs I would've immediately changed shocks (their spring rates see overly stiff - in the 400s, front and rear).

Seems to reason that even the upgraded Infiniti shocks would wear out sooner if you exceed the manufacture's spring rate by alot.

PROBLEM? My alignment guy told me that the Eibach - depending on how the car sits after installation - could require $600-800 worth of camber adjustments.

Well, filthy rich or not, on a $400-500 installation job?

Possibly twice as much, up to a 200% increase on the total job?

To me, that doesn't make sense.

Granted, the Teins are slighltly more expensive ($400), the total job was $550 + $50 for alignment (standard price, any vehicle).

 

Tokico information page would not attach........here's some:

*SUSPENSION Tires and suspension make up a complete system, which is designed to manage vehicle dynamics. The figure shows some of the key components in a typical strut-type suspension. For maximum effectiveness, tires, wheels and suspension parts must work well together. Changing any one part can affect the way in which the other parts interact.

CAUTION Suspension travel is not an actual component, but adequate travel is critical for proper suspension function. Too little travelcan result in a rough ride, excessive bottoming, loss of adhesion and chassis or suspension part damage.

*SPRINGS Springs can be considered the heart of the suspension system.

• They support most of the weight.
• Determine ride height.
• Affect ride quality.
• Affect chassis stability.

If you wish to change your springs to lower sport springs, it is important to consider how you will use the vehicle. For street use, a moderate drop is best. How rough are the roads you will use, and will you be driving in winter conditions? These are a few of the questions you should ask yourself. If you lower the vehicle too far, it can cause a rough ride, poor handling and even chassis damage. The roads and driving conditions in New York are very different from those in Florida, Texas or even California. Since shocks or struts must control the springs, it is important to use performance type shocks or struts when using sport springs. And it is important to replace the original springs with only quality well designed performance springs.

CAUTION Increasing spring rate stiffens the suspension. Up to a point this can improve handling. But a spring rate that is too high will cause ride harshness, a lack of adhesion on rough or slick surfaces and it can even cause stress cracks in a chassis.

*SHOCK & STRUTS If springs are the heart of the suspension, then the shocks are the brains. depending upon the surface and vehicle speed, the suspension has to deal with large amounts of energy.
It is the job of the shock absorbers to remove and manage excess and unwanted energy and motion. This is done by providing resistance to motion called damping force. Proper damping force will do any or all of the following:

• Help reduce body roll
• Improve traction
• Improve braking
• Enhance steering response
• Improve cornering ability
• Reduce pitch and dive

Shocks and struts should control, but not over-control, the suspension. This means having the correct amount of damping force for each situation. Well-designed adjustable shocks/struts allow the vehicle owner to change the basic balance and behavior of the car for a wide variety of situations.

 

I dunno...I got 350z H-Techs and im not near factory spec on camber. Over -2 in the rear. I can post pics for proof haha. They seem to have dropped my car alot more than advertised.

 

yea thats why i want closest to stock spring rates or just a little firmer so it looks like the 350z springs are the best path to take anyone else have them on their g?

 

yea the 6mt has the sport suspension and 19inch rays but the only reason i dont like the h tech for the z and g is the softer spring rate then stock in the rear. i want same as stock if not slightly firmer which is why im looking at the stock z springs and i will install them myself

 

Did you ever get around installing the Revised Z springs? Also interested in doing the same for my stock 18" which I plan on putting spacers as well

 

Interested on this any updates?

 

Cool, brother. Makes sense for your desired setup.

Oh, you're just up in Boca?? Sweet.

Well if you see me in the street..............HOLLLLLAAAA!!

 

Thread revival!!!..

Will the oem springs off a 2004 350z make any drop diff on a 04 coupe??
