So Im thinking of lowering my G coupe within the next couple of weeks and was just curious if any other members have used the two springs Im considering buying? Im looking into either Tein (had them on my previous ride and love them) or H&R (heard theyre popular with G owners). Both drops are similar in size and I was just curious to what others thought or used.

I know most will say to go coilovers but I cant afford the coilover setup I want yet so this is just to make me low and happy for the time being

Thanks!

From everything I've heard/seen, Tein will give you the closest to oem ride quality of any spring out there. I am running the 350Z H-Specs...no complaints.

I am running the Teins and they have been great so far. Not quite as low as I hoped but the ride quality is almost same as the stock

That's awesome to hear because the Tein's were the direction I was leaning towards since I've used them previously. Good to know. Thanks guys!

Same here....^....these spring will lower your G about an inch decreasing the gap over the top of your tires and you'll have a factory ride. One thing you need to be aware of, regardless of how you lower your car or what springs you use you're going to need a camber kit front and back so you're not buying tires once a year! Keep this in mind when you consider lowering your car. Check our MARKETPLACE under vendor suspensions for the cost of the full SPL kit....Gary

I have been riding on 350z s.tech for about 2 years .... love the ride quality, and they are stiff enough to have fun on off-ramps. I went with 350z s.tech because I wanted more of a drop then the h.techs.

Ive been using the tein lowering spring and everything is alright until i got my rims to be flush with the panel, as soon as i got my spacers to make my rims flush, i hear my tires rubbing on the edge of the quarter IF the road is bumpy. All and all the springs are alright unless your rims are flush. Not sure if this situation has happened to anyone else but i decided to go with the tein monoflex coilover after the experience haha

Don't waste your money on springs.... I did and I wish I could get that money back. Just do it right the first time and buy some Stance coils.

Seriously....^....a better solution would have been to get smaller spacers or even had your rear fenderwells rolled! "All and all" your're doing it wrong, springs would have worked fine....
