Question Why people put tein springs from Z on a g35?

I would like to know why people put the tein springs from the Z on the g35 why not just but the g35 ones? and i know the tein stech springs for G is a 1.2 and a .9 inch drop what is it if you buy the 350z ones and put it on the G35? thanks for all the help i just want to make sure i go with the right choose i dont want my car slammed. Just a clean drop.

When you put on Z springs on the G35, it lowers it more. I think its about .5 more from the Z specs

if thats true then it will be around the same the Z specs for those springs are .7 front .6 rear if you add .5 it will be 1.2 and 1.1 and the tein springs for G are 1.2 and .9 specs

Using Z springs on a G will add about -.5 of a drop on a G coupe. Z springs will be about a -1.2f and -1.1 rear. Slightly more even drop and takes away more of the wheel gap in the rear.

Also, the Z spring rates are better. The G-S-tech's are softer than the stock sport suspension rears. The Z S-techs are closer to the OEM spring rate.

Tein S-tech 350z (fronts are progressive, rears are linear) .7”/.6” drop on 350Z G35 drops will be higher
Spring rates in LBS 386/402 (estimated front intial rate is 327lbs)

Tein S-tech G35(fronts are progressive, rears are linear) coupe drop 1.2"/.9" sedan drop 2"/1.3"
Spring rates in LBS 358/274 (final rates only, softer intial front progressive rate unknown)

You will need a camber kit with the Tein springs. I would go with front and rear kit.

I got my camber very close to factory with an allignment after putting my stechs in. I dont hink its really worth the camber kit. Ill try and post pics later. But its within 1 degree. actually less than 1. I would go with the G stechs just because I have them and i love them! lol GOOD LUCK!

Get Z springs because it'll lower the rear better. It's okay to have some camber. It's only a little bit lower than the G springs so why not get the Z right? The rear will look high with G springs... eventually you're gonna do the spring mount mod lol.

^^^^ the rear does not look high on mine. I have an 05 sport, maybe thats why? But it looks great!

What is the spring mount mod?
