LR 6MT, PIAA Super Rozza & TEIN H-Techs ***pics***
Here are a few pics of the TEIN H-Techs (for the 350Z) after being installed for 2 days. The height is perfect IMO and if the alignment goes well, I'll be sticking with this setup. Thanks goes out to Demonteverde321 for taking the photos... Hope you enjoy.

Re: LR 6MT, PIAA Super Rozza & TEIN H-Techs ***pics***
The shop that did the install was concerned that with the following all working together:
the springs
the +25 rear offset
the 10" wide rear rim
& the 275 tire size
They thought that the rear's might rub against the rear wheel well after it was lowered and the shock/spring went through full travel. I don't think that this would have ever been a concern, but without asking me they decided to "trim" away part of my inner lip on the rear wheel wells. They didn't do a good job at all and I was pretty mad when I picked up my car. FORTUNATELY, there are not any visible signs of this being done. The shop offered to pay for a body shop to grind down the lip to make it smooth and so that it would transition nicely with the rest of the wheel well. They will also pay to have it primed, painted and clear coated. I've got the estimate and will talk to the shop today to see when they still plan on paying for the work to be done.
All in all I'm extremely satisfied with the springs and wheels. I do notice that there is MUCH LESS rocking from front to rear under heavy acceleration. [img]/w3timages/icons/smile.gif[/img] The car seems to handle much better, but I'm still uncomfortable taking the 270-degree on ramps at previous speeds of near 65 mph. I think the 255/35/19 front 275/35/19 tire combo might have reduced the understeer characteristics just a little and I'm not used to the car feeling the way it does now.

Brian, I know others who have 275/35/19's, with +22 offsets, that are running TEIN FLEX on the lowest setting with no rubbing issues. My drop is more subtile than that, so I'm pretty darn sure with my +25 that I would have been ok. (Unfortunately I'll never know now...).
As far as the ride, it is more "harsh", but like the word "rasp" I feel has a negative tone to it. I prefer to say that the ride gives me more "feel" for the road, or that I get more "positive feedback" while driving.
So far, I've driven the car as I usually do and I've not scraped anything. There are 2 other local G35 coupes lowered on Eibach's and RS-R's. Both of those drops are lower than mine, and they RARELY ever scrape. IMO, the H-Techs for the 350Z are an excellent option for our cars and the wheel gap (front and back) is now almost 100% identical.
