On Sedan H-Techs? I thought they were only supposed to drop a RWD 1.4" up front and .7" in the rear.

I think I've read these cars come with a slight negative camber from the factory so any drop will just exaggerate that. I would PM Blue Dream and ask him about his setup. He has a RWD with Sedan H-Techs, but I'm not sure whether or not he has a camber kit.

For those with the 350z struts and 350z front / G35 Coupe rears, can you comment on the ride quality? Does it feel the same as the sedan non-sport suspension or harder / firmer? Does it crash over bumps more?

I have revised 350z struts/shocks/springs all-round.
The ride isn't bad at all. Yes it's firmer than the non-sport, but it doesn't jar your teeth at all, and I live on a bumpy road. Just makes the car feel more like a sports sedan should (IMO)
Also, not 'bouncy' at all, which is a very good thing. I don't really mind a slightly hard bump, if that's all there is, but I hate when a car is cushy, but then bounces after the bump.

If I get the Tein H-tech springs, do I need anything else, besides a possible camber kit???

Thanks for the mini-review NFSP, I think I'm gonna go 350z / G coupe and 350z struts. The price and performance seems to be right.

How's your camber all around?

correct candlestick, toe is off too. Idk any other way to tell but if your car starts fishtailing randomly in the rain while going straight, toe is off.

Might as well throw on a rear camber kit and add some positive camber (unless you need to run that much camber so you don't rub).

Good'nuf.
I don't know really. They told me it was just barely outside stock specs. One guy said it will actually go into stock spec for the 350Z which is slightly more aggressive than the sedan.

Here's a link to those specs: https://g35driver.com/forums/5027161-post289.html
