Thank goodness it wasn't a VIC member buying that exhaust! I would be interested in the Osiris Tuner, if I can find switches for changing the maps.

Just get coilovers, cause you'll get sick of springs as well..

no worries - remind me when the time comes.as in - if i put them up for sale and don't contact you first, remind me of that.

embarassingly, i am installing coilovers, but probably going to have to set them higher than the h-techs sit - which will mean practically back to stock height. moved into a new house yesterday with a massive garage and a carport - and my car can't get in the driveway!!!!! exhaust flange hits coming up off the street, and then the driveway dips down and my nismo bar hits the concrete. FML.

How low do the h-techs sit? will they be ok with the stock shocks?

ps. If it aint too low, and if they sit fine on stock shocks please pm me! Only prob is I'm in Adelaide but I'm happy to pay postage.

I have a feeling those H-techs sit a little lower than 1''

You'll need to upgrade your shocks in the near future after putting lower springs on your car as it puts more pressure on them and shortens the life. That's why most people skip straight to adjustable coils as decent quality shocks for our car can see you paying up to $500 for a set..

But surely the V35 shocks and 350Z shocks are the same? (I'm not talking about the H-techs, but moreso in my case). Changing to 350Z stock springs shouldnt affect the V35 shocks as they're the same as the 350Z? Although I guess weight difference is an issue.

Incorrect. They sit 15mm lower at the front and 8mm lower at the rear. They're designed specifically to be used with stock shocks, and to give a slightly lower ride without sacrificing comfort.

You might be thinking of S-Techs which are lower again. As per my other thread, I dunno how people run much lower. Stupid long wheelbase

Kinda getting off topic here, but if I wasn't going to be running such large/agressive wheels I would stick with these springs and just replace the tired shocks. Didn't want to take the risk of not having coilovers for the sake of adjustability and fine tuning the clearance.

Incidentally, I have 350Z shocks in the rear of mine and it sits the same as the stock shocks based on photos - so I'd hazard they're the same shocks - and Nissan counters the extra weight of the V35 with taller springs - which explains why 350z springs lower the car.

[Seano350GT]

Oh yes, must have been the S-techs that sit a bit lower.
