It got in while I was on vacation. Will install it this weekend if nothing else comes up.
It is D-Spec with Tokico springs. Why mix and match if Tokico did lot of R&D on that?

 

sweet,..be sure to post pics once they are installed.

 

Looks great, def. post pictures when installed, I am sure we would all love to see.

 

how much.....

 

Are they the G35 coupe setup or the 350Z setup?

 

G35 setup
I got them on ebay from jdmwerks. Cannot post price here, look him up

 

too lazy to check if tokico revised their spring rates, but from what i remember reading, those tokico springs were not the ratings i was
expecting them to bring out....meaning, they did not do their homework.

but if they updated from watever that rate was originally, then great.

 

And your statement is backed by..? Being R&D engineer for Ohlins or Koni? Having F1 or WRC title? Or just because you have four digit post count?

 

Ya know, sometimes it's smarter to do a itty bitty search on a guy's username on a page or two of their previous posts before you go harpooning their integrity here. Ken is a very helpfull member that know's what he's talking about. Really your reply was totally uncalled for. Not to add you your misery, but I have to say Ken is correct, he was remembering the post below, his backup is below. BTW, as further backup. The rate Ray give's for the 350Z Tokico springs, is within 1lbs of what the springs actually are, I know because I am currently testing them.

 

It's all just numbers. Quoting and expressing your dissatisfaction about them is same as bench racing. Kit must "fit the purpose" and no matter what numbers are it does. Stiff springs do not necessarily result in better handling.
I do not intend to start discussion whether "stiffer is better" or otherwise in this or any other thread, so don't bother to prove your point.
Thanks for write up Gsedan35.

Anyway,it is installed and i am very happy with ride. I didn't have time to play with settings(it's at 5 front and rear) and was careful about throwing car into corners, but results seem to be very promising. All those slight oscillations are gone and ride reminds me of BMW. Drop is barely noticeable.

Some tips to future DIY.
1) Raise both sides. This will remove preload on sway bar and no effort to remove that bolt.
2)Before even starting to take everything apart try to break loose strut center nut-with quick sharp action. If it starts spinning along with strut rod, you are SOL-I took assembly to friend's garage to take it off.
3)Check out my gallery on how to remove rear shock center nut.
4)Rear spring perch may stay in place even without support from below. Just hammer it down(do not hit aluminum parts with hammer, use wooden block) and keep your head away.
Entire job took 6 hours, I did it alone.

When you want to know why 240lbs spring rates in the front is a poor choice in actual application, even with North american road condistion's on this platform, I will happy to deliver a very rational and experienced anwer in a non threatening way. Though if you all you want is comfort and will never push the car to it's handling limits, well at that point a explanation is rather mute.

A itty bitty part of me does say that in spite of confirming the specs on the 350Z D-specs springs,......240lbs on the "G" kit springs just doesn't make sense given what we know on the whole.
