Looks real nice.

Do you know the H&R spring rate and amount of drop?
What were you running before the change?
Are you still using OEM for Struts and Shocks?
How many miles do you have?
Are you still happy with ride quality after riding around?

Thank you Al.

I don't know the H & R spring rate, but the drop is about 1.7 in the front and 1.5 in the rear, guesstimate. But I think its an even drop.
I was stock before the change, rims and springs.
Yes, still stock struts and shocks.
I have 44,1xx miles currently, about 1,000 miles so far on Springs and Rims.
Very happy with the ride quality after the 1,000 miles. Since the X is a firm ride from the factory, not too much of a difference.

Hope that helps.

Thanks for the reply and yes it helps.

My results with the 06' Z Springs were a drop of 1.25 in the front and 1.75 in the rear. I'll be looking into the H&R Springs more closely and may match them up with Tokico D-Specs in the rear which I hope provides the even drop and good ride quality.

Keep me posted on how the Koni rear shocks change things. I'm thinking of going with Tokico D-Specs or Koni in the rear.

What was the result (drop) and ride quality of the 350z h-tech springs in front?

Are you still on the OEM Struts?

How does your setup 350z h-tech/04 coupe springs compare to the H&R springs of qbturbo?

I am still on stock struts, but will be saving up for the koni up front. The h-techs feel just like the the z springs but it brought it down alittle bit more and made it more even. But being the old skool lowrider that I am. I want it just barely tucking so I might get some s-tech for up front. LOL yeah yeah I am like a female. The H&R springs look great, as for my set up. My pics are in the lowering the x thread check it out. Hope this helps for you.
