G35 Coupe "Sport Package"

Tokico springs for the Z advertise a drop of 1.0F and 1.5R, so I expect an even 1.5 F&R. that should be perfect for a spring.

I had 350Z Tein H-Techs like you have now and it dropped more than yours, but still not enough. yours look like they never settled.

If you would like my RS*R Ti2000 for the Z. it will drop your car much more that you are now based upon your pic. we could work something out. they are like new since my car is a garage queen and is driven less than 5K a year...2005 coupe with only 40K.

I have gone from Eibachs for the G, Tein H-Techs for the Z, Tein Basic coils (hated), RS*R Ti2000 for the Z and will be on Tokico's for the Z next.

you are right. no real difference from OEM Z springs, which is not much of a drop.

I had Eibachs for the G and was not as happy with the progressive rate spring feel versus linear rate springs like H-Techs, RS*R, Swift, Tokico. I am not an aggressive driver, but just noticed a different feel to the car especially driving around town...not on highway.

good luck with getting the right drop from a static spring. I am hoping these Tokico Z springs will be the last ones for me.

Yea man,the H-Techs are softer then eibach...Ive seen how even the pro-kit drop is..should go well with the better rebounding 350z Tokico blues i have...Ordering the Eibachs and rear Spc camber kit right now...At least the springrates are better in the Eibachs vs Tein H-Techs...The ride will get stiffer then what i m working with right now...

I must say I am not too happy with the g35c s-techs handling. Thinking bout putting on rear oem spring and cutting the perch.

Just do you research on some better springs...Teins are soft, Eibachs have stiffer rates...Also struts factor in with rebounding....Teins s-techs and h-techs give uneven drops as well...

I got lucky and have an even drop all around. eibachs are softer upfront. tein s tech is the hardest front final spring rate if I'm not mistaken before goign with 350z springs, or some brand out of the usual, as well as a drop too low as I'm not running front camber arms. the oem rear spring is harder than the rear s-tech.

Now what springs would you guys recommend for an 03 G35 coupe with 20s on it. Swift spec R springs or the eibach springs. I'm looking for a 1 inch drop all around or maybe 1.1 or 1.2 all around. I don't really want a killer stiff ride. Just want a nice little drop so my car sits good with the rims (tired of the monster truck look) and still comfortable to daily drive and the occasional speed handling lol

^^^19s or 20s? My S-tech it seems to drop a millimeter everyday. I like the Vossen CV3, but would be happy with factory 19s for a while. Im afraid 20s would be too big and expose alot more wheel gap.
