Lowering Springs help!!

Im on a budget so I decided to buy lowering springs. I want the car to be lowered as much as possible on springs. Is it true that if you buy 350z lowering springs and put them on a G coupe that they will be a half inch lower?

1) What springs lower your car the most?
2) Do I need to get an even drop or am I supposed to drop the car more in the front or rear?

Thanks!!

Search Tein H vs S....loads of information to read on. To answer your question. 350z S-techs will be lower in all classes of Teins for our car.

i agree,, wait for coilovers and a camber kit...springs are nothing compared to some good coilovers, better ride and better look.

If you go lower than an inch you're gonna need a rear camber kit for sure...

Is it really worth the $600+/$1000+ spending though if you want to just stay at a certain height?

The biggest drop for the buck is m2 lowering springs! About an 2 inch plus drop front and rear for about $80. But save for coilovers, The ride is so much better. Unless you don't mind riding around like "your on a f*cking pogo stick!" up to you!

There's now way to lower your G on a "Budget!" If you're going to do it right so you can enjoy and drive your G you'll need BC coilovers and a complete SPL camber kit at the ride height you posted. You're looking at spending $2K give or take a few $$....Gary

yeah. i believe it is. Getting springs will just give you trouble in the future. unless you dont plan on keeping the car for more than a few years...

i went with eibach sportline springs and tokico blue shocks and eibach rear camber kit..the ride is a little stiff in town where its bumpy in my area but once on the highway is fine..

coilovers are def. better as you can adjust ride height and they will ride better but all in all im happy with where my sportlines put me..in the future though if i keep the car i will be slamming it with coilovers..
