I originally had eibach's pro and they sit really nice.

I switch them with Tein H.Tech 350z and Tokico's for the 350z. The ride is day and night. Really smooth. You got to understand that I wanted soften ride, because I was getting tired of feeling every bump on the road. Because my front stock shocks were leaking, my car riding like crap. Vibrating at high speeds etc.

The H.Tech raised the car a bit. The front of the car I can stick in 1 finger between the tire and fender, but the rear I can put 2 fingers, which a little bit to high for me. I'm hoping it will settle down a bit, but I have a feeling that it will not. If this is the case, I'm going to cut some of the bump stop on top to lower the rear 1/4-1/2 more.

I like the stock ride or just a bit stiffer. I read that the G35 H-Tech's will give about a 1 in drop? That sounds fine or maybe a bit more. I just don't want a drop where the camber will be affected because that means more money (either a camber kit or new tires more frequently). I was thinking about coilovers for the adjustibility but they might be out of my price range. At least with coilovers, I can get the exact drop I want. What is the difference between the tokicos for the 350Z and the tokicos for the G35? I know the 350Z H-techs will drop it about a .5" more than the G35 equivalents, right?

Hahah we're off topic with this thread.

Anyways, The HTech 350z will not drop your car 1". Well at least it hasn't happen on my car. I have a better idea when and if the springs settle down. The rear is just to high for me. About 2 finger gap. I can take a picture for you to show you what I mean. I'll post it up within the hour. Keep in mind I just installed the springs a few days ago.

The difference between the tokico 350 is the rear is shorter.

For Cmaranan.

Here is what I'm talking about the rear being a bit high right now. If you are looking for a 1" drop all around the H.Tech is not going to do it for yah.

haha my bad. Thanks for the info. I have the same color G! You are right, the front looks perfect and hopefully the rear settles a little. Looks good none the less.

I'll be in again this tuesday to add some plenum spacers. I'll check it out again and see how the progress is going.

It's about 98% done. I should get it back tomorrow (friday) but not completed. **** happened with the exhaust I ordered from a diff company in San Diego and now I need to wait for that and get it dyno'd and tuned. So I have to take it easy for a while til' i get the exhaust and a tune. My car will be there on tuesday again though for other reasons. A new brake compnay i think ...JBT wants to use my car for a photoshoot so you'll prolly see it there gettin the brakes put on. Needless to say im pretty pissed that I've waited this long and it's not perfect.
