What is it with Shermie making intelligible posts that are informative and technical?

 

Have you ever seen oldschool when Frank the Tank debates the ragin cajun... its kinda like that.

 

I would get two of each...

 

Hahahaha...

I was thinking the same thing...

 

Hey lay off shermie he is keeping the noob well skooled.

Thanks man.

I do not mind having to deal with the addons. Too me it see like making an airplane unstable intentionally and then building a system to control it a la F119 Stealth Fighter.

I'd prefer to install something that better fits with the OEM specs but eliminates a little of the height.

Having never dropped a car means I have a lot to learn becasue I want to do it right. I appreciate the help/guidance. Seems to me this really comes down knowing what results other folks have gotten out of the products they used.

I think I am going to buy the Htechs and run that route.

Anyone want a set of Eibach Pro?

100 bux or would trade and render cash for the htechs or some other engine mod. thnx

 

Noah, some gys are running stock coupe or stock Z springs to lower the sedan. Sport struts are recommended unless you already have them.

A couple of people have used coupe springs in the back and Z springs in the front for an additional drop to eliminate the larger fender opening up front. I have a set of Z springs and a set of coupe springs which I'm going to install some day.

Read these threads.

hmm. I'd go that route for sure.

I really just want eliminate some of the fender opening like you said.

I have been follwing some stuff inthe sedan forum regarding the z springs but I was not aware of the z/coupe combo.

I do have the sport suspension on my sedan so all I really should need are those springs then.

I signed up for a my350z account today so I am going to puruse the site and looks for the springs to show up.

 

hey when you want the h techs let me know i can hook you up with a real set of them. they wont be counterfits

 

You will be able to find coupe and z springs pretty cheap. I got the coupe springs free (in addition to the set I replaced on my car) and I got the Z springs for $18 shipping. I also have the sport suspension, so we are both in good shape.

 

FREE! holy crap.

so what ya waiting for on the install?

 

Someone to help me do it.

I kinda know how to do the rear springs. The Infiniti tech showed me. I have no idea how to do the front.

We could get together with someone that knows how to do it and have a spring swap day. I might even get new struts since mine are at 41K now.

 

get d specs sean

i have no idea how to change springs but im up for it. i do know that you need a spring compressor for the front.

 

Yeah, I'd show up for the swap day even if I do not get any work done on mine.

Audible Mayhem has offered his 03 z touring springs. I havesearched like crazy to find the spring rates and fitment info to no avail. Any of oyu know if these are on par with all the other 03 z springs?

check that thread for spring rates

 

yeah I was reading that one this morning. Everything stated looked like aftermarket stuff.

I'll scan it again. There is also a thread in the Sedan forum but no mention of the different versions of the z and their springs just the years are listed.

I posted in there hoping someone will pick it up.

seems like the htechs might need camber kit as well. Form what I have read any drops 1" or lower really push the suspension in to undesireable teritory.

I want to maintain as much stock feel and ride as possible without having to reinvent my suspension.

seems the z springs might be the best bet for this goal.
