It should be reversed. Your right. Something to look into as well are the Tein springs. But the drop seems similar to Eibachs... at least on paper. I dont know of anyone yet that has it installed. |
Check out what 2GoRnot2G said:
Yeah, something is definitely off with Tanabe's numbers for the NF210 sedan fitment. They list the same springs for the G37 coupe, yet they only drop it 1.0" (F) & 0.7" (R). There can't be 0.6" difference between the rear drop on the two cars using the same springs. When I talked to Eibach about using their G37 coupe springs on my sedan, they said they had already done it on a few other cars and it would drop the sedan apx 1.2" (F) & 1.0" (R), which is only 0.2" more in the rear than the rated drop for the same springs on the G37 coupe. This means the NF210's should actually be closer to a 1.0" (F) & 0.9" (R), which is almost exactly what I ended up with. I actually saw just under 1.0" drop at all four corners... close to .95" up front and just under that in the rear. |
I remember 2GoRnot2G saying that he saw about .9" drop all the way around if I'm not mistaken. Now, in my opinion, that's a great drop on this car. Not too low but it won't leave you with much wheel gap at all...if any.

I did see that. Thanks =)
How are you enjoying your 370z mod btw? :) any new thoughts about it? |
You guys have to remember that 2GoRNot2G has an S and not an X.
The sagging a$$ seems to be plaguing the X and not the other RWD models. Wes, does the wife wanna tote home two sets of springs instead of one? :2: |

I do. btw, whats up with you!? you've been pretty quiet lately. Ordered any new parts for your G yet? ;) I have ordered RacingBrake slotted rotors with their ET series brake pads. Im just waiting on the brake pads to be manufactured, then they'll ship it out to me. Unless I change my mind and just go with hawk pads. I have also ordered 20's ;) |
Work has had me pretty tied up lately. About 6 weeks ago, my boss pulled me aside and said that I was starting to show signs of wear and that it would be a good idea to take a little time off. I never did.
Today, he pulled me into a room again and told me that it's no longer a suggestion, it's an order. I take work pretty seriously and can't get it through my head that it will always be there and that it's okay to take a little time away here and there. Springs are on the horizon. I have the cash and every time I go to order, I check here first and see some new possibility that stalls me for another few days. I have to just do it. Maybe when they come in, I'll take a few days off for the install. I don't know... My head's going in a few directions at once and it's hard to focus on any one thing right now. Springs are coming soon though. Brakes too... my new OEM rotors are now warped AGAIN!!! with a lousy 10K on them. I'm sick of the dealership routine and I'm thinking about something new... may end up with a setup similar to yours. We'll see. |
your message alone sounds really stressed :S Not your usual self. Definately go take a break. hey, if your boss is ordering you to take a break, you take a break. no questions asked. lol
Yes, thats exactly why I ordered my rotors already. The last thing I want is have my brake setup fail and be forced to get OEM parts again cuz I dont have anything ready to put on. Springs are in my horizon too. lol As you can probably tell. |

How would you describe how the mild drop has improved your handling? especially the body roll.
Thats one of the main things that I want to improve on my car. The body roll. Since X's dont have sways available, this is the next best thing we have to improve that. I want the clearance that a mild drop will give me (Tanabe or IMPUL).. but at the same time, I want to improve my body roll so much that... I might be willing to give up clearance for improved cornering (say I go with eibachs). A drop looks good.. no doubt. But I care more for the handling improvements than the look. The look is a secondary benefit to me. |
I have to say, as much as I love the Impuls, I'm now looking for a tad bit more than the drop it offers. Yes, it improves the look and it now looks like the Sport height, but you have to admit... the Eibach drop is just damn sexy.
My only worry is winter snow clearance and since others in MA, CT, MN, IL, etc are doing it... so can I. Eibachs it is and if/when other options become available to us, who knows what I'll swap out to then. Ian said it and he's right... I need to just do it, all this waiting is getting me nowhere. |
