370Z springs experiment
#77
OK guys....
see post #49 for the drop
These springs have 1500 miles on them so there won't be an additional settling.
I took her out for a 50km test & it feels great.
The front springs are a tad firmer, but TBH it is a very slight change.
IMO this is great, otherwise it would have been a problem running the OE rears.
With a little taken out of the rear perches it should balance out nicely.

the coil springs sit on them Wes. What Ian is saying, is by altering the height of the spring pad you can change the height of the vehicle a bit.
Here is an example of different ones for sale on this page: Coil Spring Isolators

You can't add much more than 1/4" though.
The other one is to cut the rubber spring mout to drop it a bit w/o changing springs.
This is the one I'll be doing.

hey that looks awesome! very nice.
Ian do you know how much these springs will run me at the dealer?
Also, from a driving dynamics stand point and considering that I am an X, will I have any issues say if I only to decide to change the front springs and keep the rears OEM?
Im assuming I will still need an alignment done on the front but I can probably get away without a front camber kit since the drop seems fairly small?

Wes if new X's are like the old ones, the spring will drop the car alittle bit more since the X is heavier than the rwd. I say if you can find some g37S or non sport and use those in the rear. It might even it out some. Hey it worked for the first gen, dont see why it wont for the second gen.
