I'm looking to drop my 05 coupe. i've read many many post. i pretty much just want a drop with some added performance. i want to do this safly (not going to blow anything) and "inexpensively". i've desided on the tokico d-spec shocks with tein 350z h springs, or Tein basic coilovers. please help me deside. thanks!

 

I went with the D specs and Tein H-Tech (350Z) as well. Should be here any day.

 

Same setup I have..just do it

 

I just installed my Dspec/Htech(350Z) and I love it, I have it 5F/5R for now and it feels almost like stock with its ride comfort but turning is a blast, but I have the sport susp. package so it's already stiff at stock. I love the drop!!! it's perfect and look great (don't have pix yet). I paid 650 for both combo and you can't beat that price.

If you're planning to get the Tein Basic i'll rather get the Dspec/H-tech combo. The only way i'll get a Tein is if i'm getting the Flex or any higher model, plus Tein Basic will me much stiffer ride.

 

Which D-spec did you guys go with? The 350Z one or the G35 ones?!?

 

post pics when u get please!!! how much did it drop??

 

I got the 350Z version for both, the specs on the G and Z are the same as far as i know except that the G is a little longer, I think The drop is noticeable but I dont have the before Pix to compare.

 

i also went w/ dsp9 and 350z htechs

 

what is the difference between the 350Htech and the G35Htech??


Thanks

what do u mean by the softest setting?

 

does anyone know what this means?
Ride height drop: -1.5"FR -0.9" RR.
Ride height adjustable range: -0.7 to -2.6 FR and 0.2 to -1.2 RR.

whats the differnce?

 

DO NOT go with Tein springs for the G. Make sure you get the Z versions, as the G ones are too soft in the rear. I'd suggest going with the DSP-9, the Z version of the D-specs as well.

 

Exactly. It's a matter of personal preference really, some people, myself included, could care less about dampening adjustability, but we want zero body roll and zero wheel gap. You can't get that with just springs and shocks. If you want a softer ride with a minimal drop, get the D-specs and springs.

 

^ what if you get springs that drop as much or more then the tein basics, with the d-spec?

 

Alas, the drop itself doesn't tell you much about the spring rates and handling capabilities of a spring, i.e. if your car is slammed on springs with D specs it doesn't mean it's going to handle better than the basics. In a coilover kit the springs and shocks are made for each other.
