Thanks everyone for your inputs, I decided to go with the Z H.Techs for my g35 coupe. I bought them today, getting them installed tomorrow can't wait to see how it looks. One other question is, i read on top that the drop for the G with Z H.Techs are .8F/.7R, after it settles will it drop a bit more? or because they are linear springs they will remain pretty much at that drop? And for those with teh Z H.Tech on their G coupes, hows your comfort ride?

I'll post some before and after pictures once their installed tomorrow. only thing is how to figure out putting pictures up

They're way too soft in the rear.* They're the softest in the rear or any spring I've found out there.

* = I'm only referring to the Tein S.Tech & H.Tech for the G35c.

I agree with you wholeheartedly here but you shouldn't have said "neither" in your previous post. The original poster was talking about the G35 H-Tech vs. the 350Z H-Tech.

I'm curious to know for those with the 350Z h-techs, were you able to get the alignment back into spec without a camber kit? And if so, do you have stock or aftermarket wheels/tires? Thanks.

^ same question as above. does anyone with 350z h-techs and 20's have camber issues or can they be resolved by an alignment.

Hi guys, i installed the Z H.Tech on my G 04 CPE about three days ago, looking great, still waiting to settle, hoping for another .1-.3 ? maybe ( hoping ), for those with Z H.Tech springs on their G CPE's, do I need to get new struts ? or will my OEM be enough since its not an aggressive drop?

Gonna head out to get an alignment in about 1.5 weeks once the springs are settled properly. Hope it drops a bit more til then

Thanks

I was barley out of spec for the cambers after settling, toe was fine. I installed the SPC camber/toe arm in the rear and Cusco A-Arms in the front, where I got back into spec. If you are going to track the car you might like the aggressive numbers being out of spec with the handling of a little extra negative camber.

How old are the springs and how much are you looking for?

I have the 350Z h-tech on my sedan. I think they drop the rear too much!!! With the stock 18s and 235/45-18s on, the the front only had a 1 finger gap. Meanwhile, the rear had the tire right at the fender line.

I had to put some 19s on w/ a smaller diameter tire to get it looking right. As it is, the rear needs to come up about 1/2."

As far as the ride goes, it is much like the stock sport setup. just a tab bit firmer. Interestingly, I just tooka ride in an '05 TL; it's stock suspension is harsher than my lower G!!
