OK i have just picked up my car and I want to lower it a tad.

After not being able to find 350z springs easliy the next quickest option is King Springs for the 350z

Has anyone put these in there cars yet??

Im not wanting to go the whole shebang of suspension and all that just want it lowered a tad.

Zac.

Wouldn't do it...

The king springs for Z lower the Z 30mm or so... and Z springs onto V coupes lower an additional 1/2" so ~13mm. i.e. Total 43mm drop..you will kill your tires quickly due to the neg camber it will be running (can only adjust camber on the V so much).

I personally think it would look great...

but then again if you aren't willing to go that low then its better you keep waiting for a 350z springs, unless King springs makes some

for the V35 (last time i asked they didnt). The V35 has no camber adjustments on the rear only a little bit of toe.

Im looking to go down this path very soon, lots of camber you say? what camber?...camber is sexy :thumbsup:

mines alswo on king springs but dont know if it is 350z as it was lowered in japan. camber wear is a pain but does look nice. also once you lower your car places you go can be limited. i cant even go to my local supermarket as the speedbump are way to high.

I have mine on 350Z king springs.

They are soft. It is low. Get what you pay for. Tyre wear is acceptable aslong as you rotate. Ive done over 15,000kms on Khumo Ecstas.

Peaky speedhumps suck. Looks good though.

so soft as in they don't have the same spring rate as the OEM springs??....but 15K out of a set isn't that bad. Esp if your not using it as daily drive....oh and G7 would you have a picture of your car?, just want to see the drop.

I have the King Springs for the 350z on my V35 sedan, they are great, lowered about an inch. They are only 15% stiffer than stock, so the ride quality is basically the same.

    • To be fair passengers who aren't silly and have been in proper fast cars have often been pretty impressed once you hit 4th gear   
    • I suppose that's true. Barring almost any situation, I'll never sell so what the market does is kind of irrelevant to me. It's possible I'd make most of my money back. That spreadsheet I mentioned? Maybe I could make back more than what the car's total costs thus far are, but the parts and all that is possibly a different story... Thanks for reading. It was certainly a good moment and just makes the ties to the car that much stronger. It's exciting that the option will be there to bring it over, however I have some plans with a shop that may end up keeping the car there longer, not sure. Coupled with the fact I want to move there and haven't solidified any path yet. So in a way, it feels like I'm in a limbo state that is uncertain; time will tell.
    • No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.     
    • I've got a Turbosmart wastegate, ATP catch can, many GK Tech parts and Haltech everything. Everything's been perfect, sorry to hear your experience wasn't the same
