Should I get Tokico D-Spec Shocks with Tein S-Tech Springs for Nissan 350Z or should I get the tein basic?
I want a low drop, at least 1.5". I know it is better to get shocks when I lower my car. The Tokico D-Spec allow me to adjust but the Tein basic seems construct better. The Tokico looks kind of cheat to me. I know the basic only improve handling a little bit. But the Tokico and tein springs together are cheaper than Tein basic. Which one should i get?
By the way I got Maya RT5 19"

Thanks

 

Your basis for decision is not correct. You should consider the actual performance
aspects based on spring rates and adjustability instead of wat the struts look like or just price. It's a $35K+ car, don't go cheap on suspension.

having used TypeHA's with pillow mounts on my 2 previous cars, the Basics look
cheap to me...but that wasn't why I didn't go with the Basics.

 

Interesting setup you got kenchan. Two different spring. Yes I forgot to mention I am also looking for performance. Here is my research:
H-Tech springs
Infiniti G35C spring rate (lbs/inch): 325 F / 263 R
drop (inches): 0.6 F / 0.3 R

350Z spring rate (lbs/inch): 358 F / 375 R
drop (inches): 0.3 F / 0.2 R

S-Tech springs
Infiniti G35C spring rate (lbs/inch): 358 F / 274 R
drop (inches): 1.2 F / 0.9 R

350Z spring rate (lbs/inch): 386 F / 402 R
drop (inches): 0.7 F / 0.6 R

Tein Basic
Infiniti G35C spring rate (lbs/inch): 503 F / 503 R
adjustable drop (inches): 1.5 F / 0.9 R - suggested

All the springs have lower spring rate than Tein Basic, but if I go with Tokico D-specs I can adjust the damping. I think the real question is high spring rate vs adjustable damping. Which one would make the car handle better?

 

IMO....I would go with a full coilover

 

The Tein S-Tech for the 350Z will give you a 1" drop at best due to weight differences between the two vehicles. That you make your decision easier. All I was after was a 1" drop, so I find the S-Tech/Tokico combo very adequate for me.

 

Dressup and comfort and performance: lowering springs (350#range) + D-specs + swaybars.
Dressup and stiffer but not jarring ride and performance: Basics + swaybars.

the Basic's linear rate springs will give you more edge than the lowering springs,
but will be noticibly stiffer. I think the younger group is okay with the stiffer
setup... im not old but want a comfy ride when im on my G35C so went with
the lowering spring's rates. My car can be stiffened up quite a bit with the D-Specs
but that's not my goal.
