Great deal on H&R's for '07 Sedan

Just a heads up for anyone out there looking to buy a set of H&R's: check out Tire Rack right now. I bought a set for $247 and since I live in Cali...no tax!! Shipping was only $26. Happy modding!

+2 and they look pretty tight on the G35 blue slate even with stock wheels. Now all I need is an exhaust.

If I bought these, would I have to replace the struts too, or can I keep the stock struts?

Are they any stiffer than the springs they use for G's with 4WAS?

OK- My dealer had told me they were on backorder b/c H&R was redoing the 07 sedan springs. The ones now on tirerack.com have the drops listed as 1.1" Front and 1.0" rear. I 'think' the original H&R Springs like Hikos and Railgunner have were 1.2" and 1.3" drops. Anyone have any more information on this???

I'm pretty sure Hikos and Railgunner are using the 06 springs. Eibach is using 06 spring in rear and new front spring design for their 07, so maybe H&R is doing something similar.

H & R springs website http://www.hrsprings.com is showing part #53036
as the only springs available for the 2007 G35 Sedan.

They list the drop on their website as 1.3" front, 1.2" rear.

So either tirerack's drop is wrong or H&R has not updated their website.

Yeah, its hard to tell which is the case. Did it say on your packaging or instructions what your drop was? Just out of curiousity...

If you use the Tire Rack H&R springs

for a 1.1" drop front and 1.0" rear, is it necessary to change anything else about the suspension like camber, for instance? Or is it just a simple drop with no implications, other than perhaps a bit harsher ride?

Railgunner and Hikos have both used the H&R kits and dont have any camber kits etc (as they are not available yet). I am pretty sure the kits they used are 1.3 and 1.2" drops. Not sure if this is a misprint on tirerack or not. Railgunner has posted his alignment specs too in another forum. He was very nearly able to get within factory specs with the H&Rs and 19" rims etc etc. I will post the thread... brb

You'll need an alignment, and that small of a drop you should be able to get the alignment within specs with the factory adjustments.
