I have a 2005 Sport Coupe (with the 19" wheels) and am looking for a nice little drop with new springs. I know the spring rates for the rear increased to 427. I am looking for something as close to stock as possible with about a 1" drop. I'd rather not go softer. From my research, what do you guys think about the RSR Springs for the Z:

RSR 350Z springs (just a wee bit progressive F&R, maybe one coil is progressive) 345/417

Any pics would be great.

Also, are there any other springs that would be close to my stock spring rates but offer a nice 1" drop with these 19" wheels?

TIA

Go with the RSRs, you won't regret it

 

350Z Tein H-Techs are another option, but won't lower the car quite as much. From what I hear, the RS*R springs are backordered everywhere.

Hey absgtr....how much was your drop overall and how far out of spec were you after any settling?

 

if i ever get around to installing mine, i'll post some pics. i called a bunch of places and most of them were back ordered, but i got a set from http://www.prostreetonline.com/ Very good customer service and fast shipping.

as someone previously mentioned, the tein 350z h-techs are another option worth considering.

 

Okay...if I go RSR....what is the real difference between the RSR Down and Titanium....and please dont state the obvious. Looking at http://www.turboimport.com/catalog/350z.htm , are the Ti worth the extra $140 bucks? TIA

I got the Ti because my belief is that it would settle less (or perhaps not at all) than aluminum/steel/whatever springs. So far it seems like the initial drop is still what I am working with (~4 months later). Haven't done an align because my neighborhood tire shop hasn't received the equipment they need for extra low cars.

check hop-up racing for the springs and edge racing for cheap toyo proxes

 

I got the down springs because i couldn't find anyone that actually had the Ti one's in stock, however, i really doubt its worth the extra money unless you are trying to shave off every last ounce of weight... Furthermore, I believe RSR is the only company making springs in Titanium, if the benefits were that substantial I think other companies would have already followed suit. Oh yea, thats a great price on the Down springs - I think I paid like $40 something more.
