You probably won't feel the different if you spent money on intake or exhaust!! But, I bet you can feel the performance gain from it!!

Errrrrr which one's they make 3 different ones?

What do you want out of them, performance, comfort, looks?

Here are some specs, spring rates to OEM and front to rear balance to OEM.

Tein Basic Coilovers
350Z/G35 Coupe & Sedan
F/R spring rates Linear springs
504/504
Front to rear spring rate balance change VS OEM on
350Z/G35 Coupe
+45% stiffer front and +20% rear (25% transfer to front)
G35 Sedan w/sport +41% front +24% rear (17% transfer to front)

If 448lbs springs are run in front balance VS OEM
changes to:
350Z/G35 Coupe +29% front +20% rear (9% transfer to front)
G35 sedan w/sport +25% front +24% (1% transfer to front)

Tein CS coilovers
350Z/G35 Coupe & Sedan
F/R spring rates Linear springs
392/392
+14% front -5% rear (19% transfer to front)
G35 sedan w/sport +11% front -4% rear(15% transfer to front)

If 448lbs springs are run in the rear, front to rear balance
to OEM changes to:
350Z/G35 Coupe +14 front +7% rear (7% transfer to front)
Sedan w/sport +11% front +10% rear (1% transfer to front)

Tein Flex coilovers
350Z/G35 Coupe & Sedan
F/R spring rates Linear springs
672*/672*
*original kits were 560/560, most product reviews are based
on the 560/560 rates, buyer beware if your using these
review's to make a purchase decision.
Front to rear spring rate balance change VS OEM
350Z/G35 Coupe +94% front +60% rear (34% transfer to front)
G35 Sedan w/sport +88% front +65% (23% transfer to front)

If 560lbs springs are run in the front, front to rear (which is the front rates used by Jic coilovers on the 350Z application)
balance VS OEM changes to:
350Z/G35Coupe +65% front +60% rear (transfers 5% to front)
G35 sedan w/sport +60% front +65% rear (transfers 5% to rear)
