Not very wise to **** off the only guy who is serving as liaison between the manufacturer and the g35 community...

What do you guys think about the Sedan Tein H-tech springs on the G35x?
Bump for answers...

I'm sure the H techs will be fine but if you aren't looking for too much of a drop why not save some cash and grab some coupe or 350z springs?

h-tech or not, those rear shocks are going to go fast. i would upgrade the rear shocks it putting on any springs. i had the h-tech's on for a while, they are a nice ride and drop, but the rear shocks will go.

H-Techs

I have H-Techs on my 03 Sedan, it has not been my everyday driver for about year or two keep it park and covered in the garage execept for weeknds. I wa concern about the ride and drop since I'm a family man who likes toys, wife two kids. The H-Tech gives the car a nice lil drop that's closes to stock feel and ride. But if I was single I would have done a full drop..See Pics

I'm doing it!!! I'm dropping the $900 on a new set of KONI yellow sport shocks. I know that's a lot of cake to drop on some shocks, but I'm tired of doing mods twice or three times on my G to get it right, went through 3 or 4 setups on springs until I found the best, going for gold the first time on the shocks.
My H&R's have worn out my oem shocks, my rear right shock is talkin to me on bumps lol. I was filling up at the gas station today, walked around the car pushing down/bouncing all 4 corners and they're definitely gone. I got the number to Koni USA 859-586-4100 and TrueChoice (distributor) in Ohio 1-888-566-4722, I'll be calling them to get info on getting the front pair reworked to fit on my X. Do it right once or do it twice

Sweet let me know how it turns out. This is from Gsedan35 when I was talking to him about this issue.

If I were to do it again, I would not opt for a 1" shorter front case length AND 1" shorter piston rod length. IMO, 1/2" shorter would be a better choice

Thinking about this more, I would have them install 1/2" shorter piston rods only. That way you get 1 1/4" more shock piston stroke vs your oem units. Going with a 1/2" shorter shock body would mean too much preload with off the shelf lowering springs.

If you dont want to throw the camber off that much go with unrevised 350z springs. But it wont tuck.

Hey H&R guys how is your camber after putting the springs on.
