1 - don't get the G H-tech. Terrible spring rates and next to no drop.

Here is my car the day after the 350Z H-tech install... may have settled slightly since then, but not much. I won't be doing the springmount mod.

Just got aligned and rears are back in spec. Fronts are in spec except for camber of -1.3 and -1.4. I'll live with it.

Algy,BlueDevilBAMF. You guys' Z h-tech drop dont look extremely uneven too. BlueDevilBAMF,do you have higher profile tires in the rear?

From most of the people, alignment can get close back to spec if no springmount mod.

That's it! I'm ordering a set of Z h-tech tomorrow, along with some Project Kic spacers (20mm front /25mm rear).

^Drop looks good!

BTW, you guys think with Z h-tech and 20mm(F)t/25mm(R) spacers, will OEM 19" will have any issues rubbing?

Haha I don't know why it looks that way in the pictures... I'm running 245/35/19F with 275/35/19R just like most everyone else.

sorry ya my tires are 245/35/19 and 275/35/19.

again, DONT get g h-techs, spring rates are horrible.

get the z h-techs and put them on. if its uneven, then do the springmount mod.

also, you may get lucky but my camber was WAY out with the drop so i got spc kits front and rear.

For the Z H-Techs, without the springmount mod does it drop more in the front or the back?

Suppose to be higher in the back, from my research people have mixed reults.

More in the front -- a total of .75 -.8 in the front and .4 in the rear. If I was going to do springs again, it would be the Z Hotchkis or RSR springs. Slightly lower drop with no RSM mod and good spring rates. I believe both are linear too.

I finally got my Z H-Tech installed along with 20mm/25mm spacers, I'm happy to say that my drop is pretty even on the front and back. The drop is just like Algy and LazerRed1's.

I have about a tiny less than 2 finger gap front and back, except the left-rear side have exactly 2 finger gap. I wonder if it's because I only have quarter tank of gas, since the gas tank is in that location?

Will post pics tomorrow!
