yeah i read about that in the FAQ sticky made by ttrank.
thanks again tho

SDGenius, if I followed your posts right you have H&R's and Eibachs. How do the two compare? i.e. Which has the lowest drop and which has the better ride? I want to lower my wife's car but don't want it to low that I have to worry about her hitting something and still need it to have a nice ride.

Thanks allot
Joe

ride's pretty close, really depends on what size wheel. 17's or 18's will be super smooth but the drop will be really agressive. the H&R's have more of a drop but i'm running them on 19's and my Wife's Eibach's are on 18's... so she scrape's a lot more.

19's/20's = more ground clearance but harsher ride

17's/18's = more prone to scrape but smoother ride

it's just depends what ur lookin' for, i guess...

Watch the Canada Marketplace, they come up every so often. Keep an eye on the US, too, they are not too expensive to ship. Also try my350z for a full set of revised (04.5-up) springs and shocks/struts.

I plan on runnin 245's front and rear with coupe 18's on a sedanx. hopefully that will give me enough clearance. thanks for the input.

Tein CS Coilovers
~ Priced at around $1500+
~ Fully adjustable (height and dampner) - OEM style (direct replacement of spring and shock in the rear)
~ Ride quality - Comfy, "OEM like". Not "too stiff" in any way, even at the stiffest setting.





Stance GR+ Coilovers - 12k/5k spring rate
~ Priced at around $1200+
~ Fully adjustable (height and dampner) - True coilover (OEM spring and shock are replaced with a full strut in the rear). With the Stance you are able to retain the pre-load on the spring as the height adjustments are seperate from the spring pre-load collars. (hope that makes sense)
~ Ride quality - Stiff, not your moms old Buick . Definately a sporty stiff ride. Feels great around corners and you can feel the bumps in the road. Papa like

I couldn't even turn my front wheels in this shot but I like how slammed it is so I'll post it

what color is your car and where do you live? I have a set of DG mud guards (if you are local).

In this pic I'm running stock coupe size: 245/40 rear and 225/40 front. I've since switched to 235/35 front which I'm not happy with; they look too small. But I couldn't resist a pair of T1Rs for $200! I didn't like the 225s either since they looked a little stretched and I prefer a straighter sidewall. Eventually I'll go with 245/35s all the way around, but probably not until at least next spring.
