lol... it's tough waiting.
Where are you headed???

 

A long way from you...Calgary.

Although I've been to Toronto before. I lived in Cleveland for a few years and made a trip up there once for a long weekend.

 

Well, I'm having my springs installed as we speak. I'll give you guys my opinions in a couple hours.

 

Yeah... more than I'd want to drive

..if you have time you should touch base with Swivelnips, he's in Cowtown

 

Well, I got the springs installed and 5/8" shaved off the rear spring mounts. The front looks perfect...I really like it, but I would like the rear about 1/4" lower. Anyway, now I'm in Calgary and it's killing me not to have my car.

Hey Ian, did you notice any settling of the springs when compared to initial install vs. couple months later?

 

not really, but mine were used springs.

...I debated taking a bit more off the back as well.
It looks pretty good with a full tank, but a tad high after 1/2 tank.

 

^how much do you think is safe to cut on those mounts Ian? (curious for future endeavours)

 

I actually bought 2 bags of salt for the pool (about 80-100lbs) and put it in the trunk. It looked a little too low at that point. I guess I'll have to keep my gas tank full.

 

I have 5/8"
...I think you could probably go to 3/4" for sure.
& maybe to 7/8"

 

^thanks!

 

so 370 front springs are not the same as the 350 front springs? probably been asked but missed it.

 

^they are completely different.

 

hi. are your front tires wearing evenly, or do the inner-ribs wearing faster, due to the drop?

i am contemplating on putting in the front 370z springs as well, but concern that i'll have to spend money on camber kit, tires, etc. I am going to have to take it to a shop to get the springs installed. Any advise? thanks!

 

tire wear is completely normal on mine.

 

ooooh....this is interesting. Just curious, if you replace just the front springs, wouldn't the spring rate differences between the front(370z springs) and back(G35 stock) causes problems in the long run?

What i am saying is, aren't our front stock springs ratio are designed to be proportional to our back springs' rates? But now you are putting a higher spring rates on the front. wouldn't this mess up the 'engineering' side of things? Please enlighten me b/c i honestly don't know how spring rates on front and back affect each other.
