Tein 350z H-Techs

I finally ordered my shocks and now the springs. Are the spring rates on the 350z H-Techs going to cause any under or over steer. I don't know much about spring rates but this is the Tein spring:

Tein H-tech 350z linear springs .3”/.2” drop on 350Z G35 drop will be higher
Spring rates in LBS 358/375
Stiffer then oem springs by F+14% R+11% (see note at very top)
Transfers +3% roll stiffness to front

Is there an alternate route that offers the same drop but won't have adverse affects on handling?

Thanks

I had the springs on my sedan to test. You will NOT get any meaningfull change in at the limit behavior. Alignment settings that can be changed after install will make the biggest real impact. As will the setting on adjustable sway bars, which if you do not have, I highly recommend. You will get about a 1.4/1.4" drop. I didn't care for the rear drop, when I installed them. I recommend a 3/8" thick spacer from Energy Suspension that you'd simply install above the oem upper spring seats.

The only other alternate springs, with simular properties unfortunately will drop you even more, 1.6"/1.6" from RSR 350Z springs or 1.6"/1.8" from Hotchkis springs.

What shocks did you get? If you bought D-specs, are they the 350Z version?

Yeah, I ordered the Tein H-Techs for 350z, Tokico D-Specs for 350z and the 3/8 Spacers.

What else do I need for the suspension?

i am curious on this as well. I am new tot he g35's, I see revised and unrevised. Are all the springs revised now? Will the RSR's coming in at 1.6" drop rub bad with oem 19's? I plan to upgrade shocks as well are the D-specs the way to go. I have Illuma's in my other car and they ride great! How bout bilstein shocks?
