Eibach pro kit, Tien h tech(350z), or Tien Basics

Hey guys i need your help.

Im in the market for suspension for my coupe, and im not sure what to go with. ive done alot of searching but i still can't decide. im looking at Eibach Pro kit, Tien Basics, and Tien h tech for the 350z but the problem is i live in canada the winter wonderland and i want to have my car back up to stock during winters. with that being said should i shell out for tien basics which are adjustable but maybe sized due to salt and such, or should i just go springs and have them taken out during winters?

thanks guys

on this car you'll need to get an alignment each time you change ride height by over 0.5" so, get a spring set you like and just keep it (one alignment)....or keep it stock.

or do wat I do and get a beater for the winter.

The Eibachs and the other two option's are very different. You have to be very honest without self. Will I really pull the springs out and get the car aligned each winter or adjust the coilover up and align? Press yourself on that.

Eibach: soft initial spring rates will make them the choice for comfort, but lowest in terms of offering up increase performance among your listed choices.

Tein 350Z H-techs: linear springs with decent increases in spring rates mean you will get a measure of performance enhancement that will be better across the board. However, your oem shocks will not be totally happy with them to those that are sensitive to how a shock/car should behave. You will likely feel that your oem shocks are fine, if I were a passenger I could show you some flaw's that your missing, kinda hard to explain. I recommend upgrading your shocks, but I recommend the same thing even with oem springs.

Tien Basics: Definately stiffer then oem, but review's by owner's have not focused on ride quality. Performance will be better, but the dampners are not adjustable. Go here and look at the min and max drop specs for the basic's on a coupe and make certain they can give you what your after concerning raising and lowering the car http://www.tein.com/infiniti.html

I don't mean to trash your thread, but from your list of 3 options, have you considered the Tein S-tech for the g?
