I know StreetImage will do spring installs for $100, takes about 30 to an hour.

Street Image, Inc.

Baldwin Park, CA. 91706-4709

I don't like to work on the springs. anything else like sways, exhaust, etc. I am more than happy to help.

Thanks for that info. I'll go have them do it. Is there any specific person I need to ask for when I call them to setup an appt.?

Will they do the struts at the same time? Or will that cost extra?

The unrevised 350Z springs are a great way to get a mellow drop and stay within camber specs. If you want lower then I would go with Tein, H&R or Eibach.

Why do people get Tein 350z springs, instead of Tein G35 springs? Is it the drop difference?

Its because the springrates are suppose to be better than the G Tein springs. I have the H-Techs for the 350z and love it, could be about .5 lower in the front, but the car is pretty low already.

I forgot his name, sorry.

Keep in mind if you drop more than 1.5 in the front you will have a good amount of negative camber that is uncorrectable without a camber kit. If you do get a camber kit go for SPL for the fronts. The rears are more forgiving as its adjustable to a point.

Not sure yet...Just asking around which will perform well and give me a good ride. Feeling I'm getting you will lose some of the stock feeling but not much if you have it done right. Camber Kit may be needed...considering Tein, H&R, or Eibach. Soaped suggested I call Street Image and I notice one other person posted a reply he used them (626) 962-1503...K.I.T let me know what feed back you get..
