Hey everyone i just had a quick question about lowering springs for the G35 Coupe. I know everyone is using the 350z springs on their coupes because of the load rates and right characteristics after installation but i had a question. Realistically, what is the average price you guys pay for brand new tein 350z springs shipped or picked up. Also, would the tanabe nf210's/df210's for the 350z also work in this case, and if they do what is the price you pay for those. I would love to know more on this because it seems to be the route most people are taking. Just trying to pick someones brain about this. Thanks for the future responses.

 

tanabe's for coupe is already too low... using 350z tanabe's will make it
even lower.

there are a bunch of sites selling those... search online, i guess.

 

Cool...i guess

 

I got the Tein 350Z S-Tech on ebay for $140ish shipped.

If you look at their spring rates, the Tein's G35 S-Tech are really soft in the rear. Everyone on this site b!tches about using stock shocks with aftermarket springs so I'm not gonna get into that. I went with the 350z S-Tech because the rates on those springs are only slightly higher than stock G springs all around AND since they're progressive, the initial rates are prob. the same at the stock G's rate, so I don't see how much "pre-mature shock damage" this can do. G's stock shocks are made by Tokico so the range on it should be plenty to handle aftermarket springs with a minimal drop, 1.5" max. My $0.02!

Hey, I ordered the clear corners from you on ebay but no shipping info yet. User name is JVO8.

 

I would probably go with Tanabe NF210s if I did it again. I have the DF210s (d-specs) and its really low. After playing with the shocks it rides great but going in and out of parking lots and driveways can be a pain.

 

Did you install any camber kits? If so, what kind? If not, hows the ride and tire wear? Is it tolerable without camber kit or was handling really affected? thanks.

 

Definately needed camber kits: EVO350 A arms & SPC rear camber kit. It's expensive but probably the highest quality. Had it all done/aligned at same time.
The ride is surprisingly good (after changing the Dspec shocks to a softer setting). The spring rate is pretty close to stock (after looking at another thread here with spring rates). It's just pretty damn low.
