Maybe I missed it in this thread, but why don't the Tein S/H-Tech spring rates on the first post match the spring rates listed on their website?

Ok I'm confused. I'm wanting to drop my car. From reading posts on here, most ppl say that the 350z version of the tein s-tech springs drop the car lower than the g35 version... but looking at the specs on this website, it seems like the g35 s-tech drop lower...

http://www.gripmotorsports.com/pi~pn...ings-1504.html (350z s-techs: Front drop of 0.7 inches and rear drop of 0.6 inches)

http://www.gripmotorsports.com/pi~pn...ings-1475.html
(G35 s-techs: RWD Only; Front drop of 1.2 inches and rear drop of 0.9 inches)

So I guess the g35 s-techs drops the car lower?

 

no the 350z version do
you have to add ~.5 to z springs to get the equivalent drop if you were to put them on a g35

 

If you have a sedan the drop is 1 inch lower than the stated drop for 350z's... if you have a coupe the drop is 1/2 inch lower than the stated drop for a 350z... hope this helps...

 

after reading this thread i am assuming i can use a set of revised springs on my 03.5 sedan with my stock struts and i will be ok?

 

Question for the experts, can i put the Tokico DSP9 on a g35 with tein s techs? I know the rear shock shaft is shorter, but what would that do for me?

 

i am having problems with my suspension. i want to slam it in the rear but dont know how,. i think its on the lowest setting and its still not that low. does hks make a lowering spring for the rs coilovers. i know tanabe makes a different spring for thier sustec pros

 

very interesting I got an 06 g35 6mt w. 19's was gonna do the bilstein p99s but the spring rate isn't that much higher. any rec. for aggressive street setup and not a crazy drop?

 

Zeal Function Xs with Swift Springs. Just dropped my '06 1-inch...nice !!
Will be installing H & R Spacers...will post pics when this happens.

 

Update:

Edited info on D-spec (I found my notebook with first hand measurements) and Bilstein shocks

Added info on new Koni Race series shocks

 

Anyone have the Specs on Ohlins DFV for the G35 & 350z?

Adrian

 

Cleaned up first page in many areas, also added Ohlins PCV and DFV, Tein MonoFlex, MonoFlex JDM, and Tein Super Racing coilover specs.

Added new Zeal coilover info, and cleaned up page 2.

 

Looking at the Tein website and found this info on 350Z Convertible H-Techs that I didn't see listed here. Thought you might want to add to your amazing list.

Same spring rates as other H-Techs but:
F: -0.5
R: -0.3

Also a question:
I'm buying a set of coupe 19's for my '05 6MT sedan as I type this. I was planning on the 350 H-Techs as this seems to be a popular choice w/stock sport shocks. These made for the convertible would get me a touch lower around -1.5/-1.3 vs -1.3/-1.2. I don't want to slam or be rough, just want get it a little lower and even. Think I'll have problems or should I go w/my original plan? I already realize that I'll probably have to roll/shave the rear fenders.

Thanks and what a great comprehensive list.

 

The part number is the same as the 350Z fitment, so they are just showing the added drop as a result of the roadsteers greater weight vs the coupe.

Staying on oem sport shocks will work, but it's just ok. When thing's get demanding, you don't have a lot of shock piston stroke or shock dampning to keep you off the bump stops. I'm back on a oem sport shock/ oem Z spring setup myself as a temporary setup so that's where I'm coming from.

 

Wow, makes sense but I didn't realize the roadster was that much heavier.

Well I would be OK with the drop from a stock 350. It is just weird that after installation, some of them look even and some of them look really high in the front. Maybe I will start with them and see how it looks. It's sensible and I can always resell them...
