Sorry to see you got your underbody banged up. I have Eibach springs on my G and it is definately lower 1" in the front 1.5" in the back. I scrape on many things, but haven't gotten that kind of damage. *finding wood to knock on*

Yea that thing I banged on was a freak of an occurence, and it freaked me out. Im hoping to put springs on again, something not quite as low as S-Techs.

TEIN H-Techs for the 350z will give you a nice drop that is a little higher than the S-Techs and should ride pretty much like stock (except for the bumps will be a little more noticable).
Please provide some more insight here: https://g35driver.com/forums/wheels-tires/59664-suspension-help.html

This seems to explain my problems with my S.Tech's. Since the front S.Tech's are stiffer than the OEM springs, would it be performance enhancing to keep those on, and purchase Eibach (or similar spring) for the rears? (AKA The Kenchan Combo!)

Phx did you ever end up getting the NF's? I've been eyeballing those and the Hotchkis as my top choices. Also interested in the Eibachs and H&R's, but can't seem to find spring rates for them...
