Getting New Rims.... G35 Tein H Techs or 350Z H Techs????

Guys,

I have been doing alot of research on this topic for lowering my G35, I would like a nice lower stance, and I do not want to change the handling dynamics of the car or the way it handles bumps on the road. I have been hearing that the G35 H Techs drop the car, but it's not noticable? What's up with that? I have the OEM 18's on the car, so will a change to a 19" rim PLUS the G35 H Techs look like a nice drop? Or will I have to go to the 350Z H Techs?

Thanks for the replies guys, I really do appreciate it.

Don

g35 h techs will definitely give you a noticeable drop...subtle...but noticeable...

g35 h techs vs stock height



also take into consideration spring rates and what will be best for your purposes

That's definately a nice look. But does the ride or handling change? Camer issues? I don't want to go all out here, I just don't want to get critisized for "riding in the clouds".....

well the h techs are progressive springs so they should be comfortable..obviously the handling should be different from stock cause our springs are linear.. For the H techs, there shouldnt be any camber issues.

I have the h-techs and at first I was disappointed. A few weeks later they settled a little and the drop is noticable. I couldn't drive this car on stock height. Now I can. I chose the h-techs because I didn't want camber issues and didn't want to spend a lot on camber adjustments. The dealership says they alligned it perfectly. I also wanted to keep the civilized ride too. Comfort is very important to me. If I didn't care about comfort I would have bought the 350Z. It would look a lot better with 20's but I prefer to toss the car around sometimes and I feel more confident doing that with 19's.

H techs are great. and so are the S techs. I've had them both. The S drop you too much and WILL give you camber issues you have to take care of.

The H's will give you SOME camber issues - but they are livable and not really necessary to go through hoops to adjust.

Now - I have the Basics coilovers - LOVE EM better than any spring and height is adjustable.
