Question 350z tein lowering springs s-tech on g35 coupe...

Ok, i been debating....
I have my lowering springs at home relaxing. I bought them wen my car was in the shop. Ever since i got my g back frm the shop i been laggin it on putting these on...
Now b4 i do so, is it really worth it?... Should i put the springs on????
I been wondering would it make my ride look sicker?...
Idk. Maybe this is why i havent made a move lol...

It would look nicer, dpends what rims you have on, but the drop will be lower then that of regular tein s techs for g35s, so camber kit would most likely be required!

they'll look great on the car. s techs are one of the more popular spring people run. if you want pics, look up a member named jayk. there's lot of others with these springs, so just do a simple search for s techs in the media share/picture forums.

these springs do give an uneven drop, so most people do the springmount mod, basically cutting off 1/2" of the rubber mount that the spring is under. this manipulates the spring drop so it appears even. do a search on that one too.

cars with drops look

Make sure you do more research on this. Alot of threads have been popping up lately on this subject. Did the same thing earlier. Found an awesome deal on the classifieds for lowering springs that would drop me around 1.6 and 1.2 or so, but then found out that i'd need a camber kit most likely so it's been over a month and the springs have just been sitting there in the corner of my room.

here's something I posted a while back in a "drop" thread.

the only difference, with s-techs, front camber will change to about 1.8 and rear 1.5. and also, adding to have a toe of close to 0, simple flip the tires (if yours are symmetrical) every 5k miles to even out the wear.

most people with drops don't run front camber kits unless they're slammed on coils, but most/all run rear kits. used rear kits run only $100 in the marketplace.

Most members that run Tein S-Techs are bright enough to buy the complete camber kit so they're not buying new tires every 6 months! (depending on mileage) Considering the cost of a quality tire it's common sense to install the complete camber kit/springs along with a 4 wheel alignment. If tires aren't your concern and Mom & Dad own a tire store think about your G35s drive ability. That beautiful coupe/sedan won't track or turn like Nissan intended without your alignment being close to/on OE specs....fact!
