Question about 350z springs
I had them....the Tein 350Z H-techs. The drop was supposed to be 1.3"F / 1.2"R. The rear was way off!!! I chewed through my rear in no time....only a few thousand miles. (i kept delaying on buying the camber arms.)
What I noticed was this....and it may have to do with the longer wheel base on the sedan versus the 350Z, but the rear springs are way too stiff. The ride was fine, but it made the car a major oversteerer! I am talking DriftKing style!
I have since replced the rear spring with my factory sport springs. It brought things back to normal.....and now, the front is only about a 1/2" lower than the rear.

The extra drop makes a difference.
I had no trouble getting alignment to spec.
Ran all last year, tire wear could not be more even.

Thanks for the info guys.
Which springs should I go with? Revised or Unrevised?
I believe the unrevised will more closely match the spring rates on the X. I'm just not sure.
Maybe I should do z springs in the front and coupe sport springs in the rear?
