Pics of G coupe on updated 350Z springs

I got my Z springs and Tokicos installed a couple of weeks ago.

Here are some pics.

The front definately came down (and typically looks even a bit lower than in these pics), but the rear is nearly the same as OEM.

Hmm....not bad at all. Any drop more than stock does wonders. I like it.

Same here. The front came down 1/4" but the rear gap actually increased close to an 1/8".

Nice,
Looking at this I feel like I am riding in an SUV!
Were the new 350Z springs hard to install?

Standard install. I think I paid 80$ for the springs from a guy on my350z.com.

The additional stiffness of the Z springs in the rear, along with the Tokico adjustables and Stillen sways makes the car handle like a real sportscar!

I also swapped in all new bushings when the suspension work was done just to make sure things stay tight and quiet over time.

Excellent post! I'm installing Tokico D-Specs/350Z springs/Stillen Sways and my Fast Intentions exhaust on Wednesday. Not expecting a huge drop nor did I want one as I didn't want to install camber arms. The future may hold coilovers but we'll see how this set up feels.
