Quick question about 350z Tein H-Tech Springs

A buddy of mine told me you can lower G35 Coupe on 350z TEIN H-TECH springs. He also said that the drop would be more then the said amount for the 350z TEIN H-TECH springs F(0.3) R(0.2). I was wondering if this information was right, and what would be the actual drop when using these springs on a G35 Coupe. Also a site where i can purchase these springs, cause the best price i found them for are 164.00.

I have a set used with about 4000 miles. They are in perfect shape. They are about 1/4 of a inch lower then the Tein H techs for the G. I want 120.00 shipped.

G352NV When you say a set, do you mean both front and rear springs, so totaling 4 springs? Could you possibly do a better price then 120...??

Ok ok 110.00 shipped, that will save you 50.00. I loved the Tein Z springs BUT with the supercharger I added 70 lbs to the driverside of the car. Now the camber is wayy off because of it. Im going back to the stock springs. With the added weight I should still see a drop. I have a full set. I also have a new in the box set of Tein H techs for the G. Yes I should just start a shop with all the fuggin parts I have laying around.lol

I installed the Z-H Techs two weekends ago.

The drop was about .5 -.6 in the rear and .6-.75 in the front!

IMO - the perfect drop. I've got about 300 miles on the springs and am schedule for an alignment this Thursday. I pray that I get back to spec!!!

I've got lots of pics, but can't seem to find how to post them??

Oh yeah - ride is great! A little stiffer, and a little more road noise, but not intolerable.

I don't know if this is just my imagination, but I've notice when I make a sharp turn from a stop (w/minimal gas), the rears starts to break loose. I don't know if this is due to the stiffer rate of the rear springs, or road conditions, or the rear camber being bad (less contact patch)? I've check the tires when I installed the springs and they are near perfect. Strange.

Thxs for the info Redline6MT, thats the exact drop i was looking for. I hear if you dont drop your car more then and inch your specs should be the same. To be on the safe side .7 i hear is the best.

I have had the Tein 350Z H-Techs on my G35 Coupe for about 4 months now. The ride is a bit firmer than OEM, but the handling with the Hotchkis Sway Bars is a drastic improvement over stock.

The car dropped approx. 0.8" front and 0.7" rear. I think it is the perfect drop for me. I can still make over speed bumps and steep driveways. I am well within oem alignment specs in the back. I'm on the limit on the front, but the tires are wearing evenly. Very happy with the springs.

That's reassuring to hear. I'm going in tomorrow with good hopes!

If you are keeping the stock rims / tires you should be okay. When you go wider on the rims and lower offsets you will probably go beyond the limits of being in spec.

I have had the 350z H-Techs for a month. The rear is 1.6 & 1.8. One side is barely out of spec. I also have the stillen sway bar set medium in the back, soft in the front. The ride is great. Once I save up some more $$ Tokico D-spec shocks are next.

The fronts are out of spec and I can not remember the #'s. I also put on new rims and tires. Enkei RP03 18x9 +18 front, 18x10 +22 rear w/ 245/40/18 front, 275/40/18 rear.
