I think I'm regretting the Eibach Springs!!!
 
Hey folks, I just got back from the body shop, the Greddy/Kenstyle body kit is on (both authentic). No fitment problems at all!! It's getting painted tomorrow. I'm so happy...but....

This thing is sooooooooo low!!!!!! I have the Eibach springs and combined with the Greddy front bumper, this thing sits like 3" off the ground! I can't even clear the driveway getting out of the body shop!!

What springs can I get that will lower the car only .5"?? I will trade someone for other springs that will only give me a .5" drop or I'll buy if someone has something laying around. I need them by next Thursday.

Thanks guys and gals!

Try Tein H springs

You think that's low? I'm running 1.75" Sprints with Greddy front & sides and Kenstyle (replica) rear... I swapped out my 19" for 20" just for the raise...

350Z springs will drop you .5"

Eibach is not that low...unless you're running the Z version. There are much lower springs out there.

I had my tein basics set at stock height.

the prokit lowered the front and rear about 1.4" when I tried it out. im using the rear's right now, they look fantastic on the car. front, im running s-techs.

Do you know how to drive a dropped car? You have to go up and drown driveways at an angle...one tire at a time from left to right, or vice versa.
Also when you park, be mindful of those concrete blocks in front of parking spots..if you go too forward you'll scrape.

I scrape those concrete things in the front of parking spaces stock

Are u using Eibach pro-kit or Sportline?

G35SHAWN Oct 8, 2005 03:10 PM

That's funny, the prokit only gives 1inch drop.

MikeyMike Oct 8, 2005 03:15 PM

It says 1 inch on the box...but it "settles" at about 1.5.

Whatever a drop claims...add another half inch at least.

Agreed. OEM 350Z springs will drop the coupe about 1/2". Just be aware there are two different spring rates for the rear. All OEM 350Z front springs are 314 lbs/in. The rears come in 342 lbs/in or the revised higher rate springs are 427 lbs/in. These numbers come via our resident suspension guru G35sedan.
