Springs are Htechs swapped from AT I traded in & the tint is Formula One 18%...thanx to Mike @ L.A. tint in Manassas, VA (703-863-4335). I forgot how much I hate the breaking in period...it's gonna take a while especially since it's not my daily driver. I'll post up some better pix after I Zaino this weekend.

daz sum small rimz fo da G o_O

 

i second that slayer

there is some major gap between the fender and the rubber....but, hey, if that's what you like...thats cool too

 

I think they just look smaller because of the design. I believe that they have to be 18's to fit around the Brembos.

Are those the H-Tech's for the G35 or the 350Z?

 

I'm glad you had a decent experience with LA Tint in Manassas. I left work early to go there... To make a long story short, they didn't have any tint under 35% so I left and called LA Tint in Alexandria.... He got me in the same day and finished everything in an hour...

Anyways, sorry if I'm hijacking - 18% definitely looks nice on your ride!

Yo Slayer Player...
Not everyone wants their G to look like a pimped out Escalade.
Car looks tight.
LOL

They are the Htechs for the G35. As far as the wheel size goes I went w/ the 18's cuz for one I like the beefy tire look as appose to the the all-wheel look you get w/ 19's or 20's. The G is much too sexy of a car for the main focal point being the wheels. Two they make the big-brake kits look even bigger. Three the ride is much nicer w/ the 18's especially in DC. No offense to the people w/ 19's or bigger...this is just my opinion & my car. Keep the comments coming.

Thanx

Your car looks "just right" to my eyes. I am curious about the handling and ride with the H-Techs and the fact that the rear springs are about 90psi lower that stock. Have you driven the car with a trunk full of luggage and a full tank of gas? Thanks.

 

Haven't driven w/ any luggage & didn't really notice a difference in handling w/ a full tank. The ride is very similar to stock but a bit softer & lower profile. Also w/ the Htechs you can return the camber back to spec w/ out a kit.

cajo,

Do you realize that the H-Tech's for the G35 are different than the H-Tech's for the 350Z? I believe the 90 psi you keep referring to applies to the H-Techs for the G. Cruz has the H-Tech's for the 350Z on his car.

Check out these specs... according to gsedan35

Stock G35 spring rates:
314/342

Tein H-tech 350z (fronts are progressive, rears are linear)
358/375 F+14% R+11%
Transfers +3% roll stiffness to front

Tein H-tech G35 coupe & sedan(fronts are progressive, rears are linear)
324/260 F+ 5% R-22%
Transfers +27% roll stiffness to front

The advertised drop for the H-Techs for the 350Z is 0.3" front and 0.2" rear (on the 350Z). I've been told you should add about a 0.5-inch to those numbers if you put the springs on the G35. From the looks of Cruz's car, that seems about right.

 

neffster,
Thanks for the info. This is info we can all use.
cajo

 

Uhh Neff....Cruz said "They are the Htechs for the G35"
I have about decided that I am going to try the H techs for the 350Z on my car.
