Hey guys....quick question....what would be the difference in drop/ride quality between TEIN H-Techs and S-Techs (both 350Z for more drop)....they are both about the same price so basically I want the ones that are gonna give me the nicer ride....Thanks

 

If you want more drop go for the S-Tech

Tein H-Tech

List Price: $220
Found For: $165
Design: F: Progressive R: Linear
F Drop: 7mm (.3in)
R Drop: 4mm (.2in)
F Stiffness: 6.4kg/mm (358lb) (+14%)
R Stiffness: 6.7kg/mm (375lb) (+11%)
Stiffness transfer: 3% to Front


List Price: $$210
Found For: $$158
Design: F: Progressive R: Linear
F Drop: 17mm (.7in)
R Drop: 14mm (.6in)
F Stiffness: 6.9kg/mm (386lb) (+23%)
R Stiffness: 7.2kg/mm (402lb) (+16%)
Stiffness transfer: 7% to Front


Data from 350Z Tech so the drop will be for the Z and lower on the sedan.

 

i say go with the h tech...

 

search hard on the net for them. I bought mine from an internet dealer for about $120!!! that's better than some people sell used TEIN'S for.

 

yea theres a guy on here and my350z sellin them for 129 for S/135 for H shipped jscspeed on my350z....

 

Dude you are the man always coming up with this kinda info........you are now knighted and dubbed Sir Brittannica of G35driver

 

one more thing guys....what shocks/struts are you guys using with these springs...I know its unwise to just slap them in there with the stock shocks/struts especially the non-sport like mine.

 

i am using stock sport shocks still.

 

i jus got nismo shocks to go with my h techs....not installed yet though i will alsobe installing gt spec tie braces, spc arms, and sways

 

I've seen alot of people run tokico d-spec shocks. Some run the full Z suspension

 

now.....what would be the cheap alternative to the Shock/Strut problem ??

 

if u want to save a bit get some z shocks or hang around till u can grab some barely used d specs or somethin like i did

 

So what will happen if I stay with stock shocks?

 

i am currently on stock sport shocks and the ride is fine 10x better than stock but when going over deep dips or f'd up train tracks i can feel them "bottom out" due to the shorter range they travel and less stiffness they are compared to shorter shocks....this also shortens the life of the shocks
