S-techs are good too!!!

I am on H-tech and i love the softer ride. the spring rates of the H-techs are softer than the spring rates of the Nissan sport springs that come stock on the G... So for the same or better get the S-techs!

balla on a budget says unrevised (04/04) z springs. They have the same spring rate that's on your car now- just a little shorter. Not sure if you would rub w/ 19s though. I'm going to start researching that for when I switch to the coupe 19s. Good luck.

If you did the search, you must have read the FAQ?...

front z springs and rear non-sport cpe springs...1" drop front and .5" drop rear. It is even, handles great, and has a good ride...even on 19s and 35 series tires.

just save a few extra bucks and go with coilovers. You will be much happier. I started with Eibach pros, then sportlines and currently have Tein Flex. I shoulda just done it in the beginning. You can go with Tein Basics for about $750 to $800.

according to tanabes website, they list the spring rates at 5.5FR / 6.3RR. cant give you an exact lb the spring rates are rated at.
