had Tein S-techs, a little too low for me and required after market camber arm to bring camber back to specs........so i figured a half an inch drop would be ideal.....got coupe springs and the .5" drop was too subtle and the ride was very close to the oem sport set-up..........saw a great deal on the Z springs and viola!!, now have an one inch drop all around, perfect imo......the ride is firm, somewhere between the Tein S-techs and the coupe springs.....I'll try to post pics when i was car........
so, anyone wants Tein s-techs for 80 bucks or coupe springs for 50 bucks?!

tibits: had to roll rear fenders a little with Z springs because of the offset of coupe wheels.......

 

Pics?

 

I'm interested in your coupe springs, got pics?

 

I'm interested in your coupe springs, got pics? ( I mean pics of how the car sat after you installed them?) I jusy bought 19's and even though it's a lease I think I could get away with installing an OEM spring for a slightly lower stance

 

Thinking about lowering my car soon but not sure which route to go. Would love to see pics of all three set ups if you have them.

 

KLG35...

I like your "the few, the proud, the 6MT sedans" ^-^

So, you're in Walnut, huh? I'm not too far away in Phillips Ranch. We should get together & go cruisin sometime. I have several friends that live in Walnut also & I love my midnight runs through streets like Amar & Lemon...wanna join me?

Anyways, if you ever go to Diamond Plaza or Yes Plaza or HK Plaza...basically all those spots along Colima & Fullerton/Nogales...and see a slammed, white 2005 sedan...most likely me, so honk or something! See ya around...

^-^

 

What kind of project is it to change the springs on the sedan? I am fair will auto mechanics, would I need a lift? Could it be done with jack stands? Do you need spring compressors?

 

I did my springs on jackstands without a problem. I actually purchased spring compressors but you don't need them. It is a rather simple process if you have any mechanical skills.

Good luck.

 

How many miles on the S-Techs?

I will give you $80 shipped to 94066 area code.

Thanks!

 

still waiting for pics....

 

allright guys, got the before/after pics......

Machine Head, still have coupe springs, what zip code are you in?

Gthree5 6mt, i think i've seen you around Gale/Nogales area......yes, Amar/Lemon has some nice twisties.......but becareful of the them speed traps at rush hour!

Philly_G35, how'd you get the springs out w/out a spring compressor? it took me an hour each side With a spring compressor!

coupe springs:

 

Z springs: this is how it should come from the factory!

 

The 18" coupe wheels must visually make the gaps look bigger because my G with Coupe springs in the front only and stock Sport springs in the back looks nearly as low as his 350Z springs all around.

 

How much did u pay for rolling the fenders? I'm gonna have to do that to after i drop my car.

 

i used the wooden handle of a hammer( that sounds weird).......it's a little tricky getting the shaft between the tire and inner fender, but once that's inserted, you basically pry out/roll along the top curvature......i think socalted dremeled his from a post i was reading somewhere.....

keep in mind the coupe wheel offset is 30....
