And what does this mean?

Tanabe GF210 Series 350Z progressive springs 1”/1.2” drop on 350Z G35 drops will be higher
Spring rates in LBS 336/375 (only peak rates are published, softer initial progressive rates unknown)

I'm sure the sedan springs would fit, but i'm not sure how the ride quality would be. As far as Z springs, people throw them on G's all the time. Most prefer Z springs due to the spring rates usually being better for the Z than the G, and they tend to drop them lower than what's measured for the Z.

Alright, im not gonna buy these springs.

Anybody recommend a shop for springs less than 200 bucks? And what springs to get?

I dont want springs that would end up requiring a camber kit, im just trying to get rid of a wheel gap. Any ideas?


thanks tito

Springs designed for the Z will drop the G35 coupe approximately 0.5" more than advertised. Approximately 1.0" more for sedans.

Just talked to garret, he said he had those in stock, but he said they are if i want to go real low, so he recommended the Htechs, which would be 200 and i could have them by thursday.

those s-techs are for the G. they drop about 1.2 front and 1.0 rear.
H-techs are a good choice if you dont want camber issues. but it's a moderate drop search for redlude97, he has h-techs

I picked up used gcoupe eibach pros.. it should be 1.0 front and rear.
