Hey InTgr8tr, are the front 370 springs the touring or the sport? when i calle dthe dealership they asked me which ones i was looking for.

 

IDK if there's any difference or not,
but yes, ....They are from a sport model.

BTW I just got back from having the alignment done.
The cars handles great!
I love it!!!

I'll post my alignment #s later.

 

Good stuff Ian

 

Tell us more about the handling Ian. How does it compare to stock?

But im glad you like em =)

 

the hardest thing is finding these springs!
there is only one in stock in north amer!

 

^ keep in mind that the springs themselves don't really change the handling that much.
It's more what the drop lets you do with the setup.

Camber:
With this drop my front camber is exactly where I want it for a sport street setup.
LF = -1.2°
RF = -1.6°
IMO this perfect! (other than being able to even them out)
On other cars I've owned, that had camber adj. I normally dialed them in about this number.
My MZ4 I had set to -1.8°

IMO, I wouldn't drop any lower w/o a kit.

LR & RR = -1.6°
With the rear drop the adj. cam is maxed out at this setting.

Toe:
LF & RF = 0.00°
LR & RR = 0.04°

Taking toe out greatly reduces tire wear with more neg. camber.

Keep in mind that the factory setup is designed for 95% of their client base;
Mostly corporate suits and Moms & Pops.

With my setup now the car feels MUCH more athletic & agile.
It feels wonderfully 'planted', has a better turn in.
On the way in I hit a couple of on ramps that I know very well,
the car carved those ramps like never before.

I know adding some sways would take this to another level,
but after my drive yesterday & considering that this is my DD,
I don't think I'll bother. (at this point )

One thing to keep in mind for the X owners....
With the little extra front weight, you will get a slightly lower drop &
as a result, more neg. camber.

 

That's too bad....

It's going to be an unfortunate reality though, until more of them hit the street.
I still think the best bet is to monitor the 370Z forums.
Maybe you'll get lucky like I did.

 

So Ian, how is this setup holding up? Any issues with the back mounts?

I received my 370z springs yesterday and should get to the install next weekend

 

OOoOoOoOohhh how exciting :P

good luck with the install!

 

I dont need luck I need an active God. I have the worst luck when it comes to installs going smoothly, I guess thats where the beer comes in

 

No issues at all...
I love this setup!!!

 

maybe thats when the beer SHOULDNT come in and you focus on the task at hand! hehe

 

nah....
smooth beer = smooth install

 

Sh*tt guys, I had no idea this thread was still going on! Drop those bad boys already!! If any of the locals want to meet up and check out the eibach drop on my car, I'd be glad to show them. Or you'll have to wait for the next meet
