There is a very noticeable drop. .8" front and .65" rear. Before the spring install I drove on a rough road in my neighborhood to get a good feel for the stock sport suspension. I then drove it on the same road after. I am very surprised to say that it has a very similar feel to stock.I would say it has a more firm feel to it.I am extremely satisfied. This was on Sat. This morning time for sways. I put the front on soft and the rear on med. I drove up to Idyllwild on some roads I ride my motorcycle on and the car has much less body roll than before and it does feel more "planted". Again, I was concerned that the addition of stiffer sways would cause a harsh ride.It still had a comfortable ride. I know I set the front on the soft setting, but I am curious how the med setting would feel. I also plan to get d-spec's in a couple months which would allow more adjust-ability. I will get an alignment in 2-3 weeks to see how out of spec it is. Some say springs settle and others say they wont. I don't think a couple weeks will hurt. Tomorrow my HKS exhaust should arrive and I cant wait. Too bad I have to work. Wheels will be here in a couple months.I want to thank all those I spoke to who gave me valuable info and advice including Gsedan35. UPDATE: Gsedan35 advised me to set my front to med. Did this on 4/8/2006. Reason he stated is for more even tire wear when driving a lot of canyons. Still has a great ride, front end stays very flat in corners. Needs less steering input.

 

Great! Sounds like you are off to a fast start with your mods. Glad you are enjoying yourself, thus far. Hehehe . . . Wait til you get your new exhaust installed. Enjoy!

 

I just might take it to a shop and have it installed today. I work a lot of hours and I dont want to wait until friday. (My day off)

 

i also installed h-tech g35 springs. firmed the ride up with d-spec setting & still a firm comfortable ride, but can take the corners faster with no body roll.
i don't fell you have to go to the s-tech 350z spring to get good performance.
didn't wanna feel every bump in the road here in the NE.

 

Had a shop install it today and it sounds amazing. Only charged $60.00. Deep ,throaty and clean. I only wish they would have used buttonhead screws instead of sockethead for the tips. Thats something I can change. Now my next mod will probaly be the m-rev, and or intake.

 

Did you mean to say "I also installed H-tech 350Z springs" ?

 

Your welcome on the advice. But reading the text I do have one important thing to say. Soft front bar setting + med rear bar settting + aggressive cornering = good by to the insides of your front tires. You really want to run more front bar to reduce the mount of front roll your going to get. I know I tried the whole oem front bar aftermaket rear bar thing and it was when I was testing the Z H-tech's, ate up the inside front's of my tires in a hurry. Learned my lesson on that one.

 

no I did install the g35 springs. sorry if I misread the thread. but the h-tech
g35 springs are working great for me. just what I wanted, a firmer ride than oem springs with min drop.

 

I will set it med, med this weekend. Do you think this will stiffen up the front suspension any?(Change the ride quality)

 

Did any of you guys install the springs yourselves?? I have done drops before but I don't have a manual with torque specs?? any help

 

im considering the same setup: tein 350z h-techs and stillen sways. ill also get an alignment within a month of the install. how do you like it so far?

 

Could there possibly be an issue with getting new front tires and installing 350z H Techs at the same time....I ask because when you get new tires you get them aligned that day. But if you get springs you wait like 2-3 weeks for the alignment. I don't really want to pay for an alignment twice so should I wait to do one before the other? My front tires are in bad shape so it worries me to drive on them right now. Any Advice?
