Lowering V35 Cp, [std 350z Springs]

[n15m0]

Here are the before and after pics. Z suspension lowered the car approx 1" all round. Ride comfort remains the same + less body roll, overall handling has improved. No complaints overall. I definately recommend it. Tried and tested method from the guys in the US.

How much has going up/down driveways/speed bumps changed? Are you scraping at all?

I don't suppose you could measure the height from the ground to the front bar?

[n15m0]

Doesn't scrape on anything during everyday driving...except while reversing out of my driveway from hell...scrapes the black piece of plastic under the front bar slightly...anyone know how to remove this?

[WazR32GTSt]

i think its just attached by a few bolts, i remember havign to remove it when i changed the oil..

it should be attached to the flat aerodynamic piece that goes under the engine

[MaXiMuS007]

I too have a driveway from hell... probably need to test out stock height before trying this. It makes quote a noticeable difference to the look.

No probs.

If you ask me, i think stock 350z springs will give you little difference and may not be worth it.

On my last V35 I used Tein 350Z H-techs. The drop was quite small and the ride was still very very comfy. You can even use G35 H-techs.

Tein designed these for a little drop, a lot of comfort, and i believe they were a progressive rated spring which gives you that added stability in hard cornering.

'G/day NISMO', Where did you get the Tein 350z H-techs from, rang one of their suppliers in SYD, they didn't have them listed, or did you get them shipped? Is there a website, if so any idear of price incl shipping! Desiderd to go with the H-Techs over the STD 350z springs. 'Thanks mate' Regards G.T.[Geoff].

Hey Geoff,

I used a trader from www.g35driver.com Jump on their and just PM a few traders to get quotes. Most I've found are more than happy to ship to Australia. I got mine last year and I paid around $270 US for the springs and shipping. :-)

Cheers

I got some 350z king springs on mine.. after doing some research i ended up buying them coz they were the cheapest and they are ADR approved. They are a direct fit and have been perfect. Only prob is that they are a bit softer than the standard springs. But if you have low profile tyres you will probably want a softer ride.
