350Z H-Techs to Replace Prokit...Opinions

I purchased set of 350Z H-Techs to replace Prokit on my sedan per advice and info I have received. Looking for impressions from those who have done this with respect to what I should expect in terms of handling, comfort, drop and any camber issues. I am looking for as many opinions as possible prior to install, both good and bad. Thanks.

I can't comment from experience but can parrot back what I've heard around here. Since the Eibach springs are "progessive", they'll tend to be softer on initial compression. The H-Techs springs are linear and should be much firmer upon initial compression - definitely a performance enhancement, if you ask me. The general concensus from what I've surmised seems to be progressive for comfort, linear for performance. -T

Haven't used either on a sedan - only the coupe.
ProKit drop > H-techs. To make my car level post drop, I used H-tech on front & prokit on rear.
My experience is that prokit is stiffer ride with 'stronger' rebound.
Don't know if this will help you but there it is

I have the same questions.

I have a 2003 6mt sedan and have the same questions. I was ready to order the Eibachs but the threads about the 350z Htechs have me worried. I am looking for about an 1" to 1.5" drop. Want to keep the ride quality the same as stock. Improved handling would be a bonus. So which way do I go ?

Looking for better performance while maintaining similar drop and comfort levels.

Looks nice with and without hood hotties. I agree, no problems, ride is smooth, but I am looking for a bit more performance without sacrificing too much ride comfort or throwing off suspension geometry. That is why I choose 350Z H-Techs over the 350Z RS*R's.
