Oggie, The front springs have pink dots and the back springs have 2 red and one white dot.

nice ride. I live in wayne too! same car!

 

Whereabouts? I live in Chesterbrook. Did you know we are having a G35 meet in Valley Forge next Sunday June 4th? Hit the Northeast section of the regional boards to get more info. There will be lots of food and cars. Its a good group of people who like their Gs and good food.

 

WITH COUPE SPORT SPRINGS [IMG]p5290004.jpg[/IMG]

 

06' Z (Revised Springs) on Coupe Wheels w/245/45/18's. Car ride is quality is basically the same, except with less body roll and better cornering.

 

Here is my lowered sedan with Z springs.

 

Seems like yeahdickey and oggie used revised springs. According to the below specs, isn't the X more close to the unrevised z springs? Also, once the car is lowered, by how much more does the wheels tuck in? Thanks...

i got tein s-techs on my x.........just friggin wish theyw ould make aftermarket shocks for the damn thing!!!! i have diffrent rims on now but this is from right after i got the springs put on, ill try to get a newer picture wth my new rims, it has sagged in the time they have been on there too.........

 

yeahdickie: Are your rims staggered? Does your AWD light come on?

Oggie: Thanks for the post. I'm keeping the stock rims for now. You've given me a good point of reference.
If you put some spacers on, would you rub? With Oggie's set up + spacers, dare I say I'd be...content? Ba ha ha ha ha (I don't think the "c" word is recognized on this forum)

Have both of you had yours lowered for a while? Give use a mid to long term update...

Thanks!

 

i'm lowered with tein h-tech springs for RWD35. Ride is the same, lowered gradually but to my exact liking. sorry pics off a camera phone

 

ShredX: Not staggered I am running 245/45/18's all around. AWD does not come on except when it suppose to (sliding out, full throtle starts in rain etc.)

Mikeee2: I think people make way too much out of the spring rate differences and worries about shocks wearing out etc. I think even with stock shocks and crappy roads, you will have long term shock problems, but not for years. I think you should just go for it and be smart. If you see a massive speed bump, or pot holes, etc. go slow or around it. There are a lot of us lowered X's now and no one has reported any suspension problems yet.

 

yeah no problems here, and ive had s-techs on my whip for like a year now.......

 

s-tech's in the front and Z springs in the rear...

 

Wow...I am shocked to see so many lowered Xs all of a sudden.

 

A set of Z springs on this forum as well as the my350z forums go for about $100 give or take. Just wondering how much you guys paid for installation for the springs? Any good installer place in NY? Long Island area?

Thanks...
