350z Tein H Techs installed. Pics and info inside<<

ok just overview
2003 6mt coupe
225 45 18 front tires rear tires 245 45 18

after looking at all the springs the 350z Tein H Techs were the best in my opinion. I wanted a spring that handled better and rode good and I can honelstly say the ride quality is great and car handles better.

So now for the total drop. on the 350z it says .3 in front and .2 in rear but on the g35 its more.
BEFORE I LOWERED THE CAR FROM GROUND TO FENDERLIP IT MEASURED THE FOLLOWING
FRONT LEFT AND RIGHT 27 1/8 INCHES
REAR LEFT AND RIGHT 27 3/4 INCHES

AFTER DROP FROM GROUND TO FENDERLIP
FRONT LEFT AND RIGHT 25 15/16
REAR LEFT AND RIGHT 26 7/8

So the springs gave me a final drop of about 1 1/4 in front and rear about 7/8 inches.


NOW IN REAR YOU CAN LOWER IT WITH NO CUTTING OF THE SPRINGS HERES HOW. For me the rear needs to come like 3/8-1/2 inch more down which is no problem. In back when you remove the springs you will noitce the rubber bumpstop. Now on top just cut a straight line off the bumpstop on how much lower you want the car. 1/2 inch off the top of the rubber bumpstop will lower 1/2 inch when car is dropped

Anymore questions just ask away
here are the pics

hey norcalsti, in that pic, did you cut the rubber mount in the rear or is that just after you installed the springs. I was gonna cut mines but not sure if it'll even out the rear or go lower than the front. I noticed with a full tank of gas, the car is almost an even drop.

Now, when you cut the bump stops, does the ride quality deteriorate? Also, as askded before, are those pics with the bump stops cut or not??

Norcalsti, have you aligned your car yet and if so were you able to get it back to specs? Looks nice.
