they raised the prices across the board. i got the new price sheet and they really jumped the prices because of the new cost of material

ok, so i think i'm still confused. are you guys using the G35 H-Techs or the 350Z H-Techs?

i was at a G35 meet yesterday and everyone there said to use the 350Z H-Techs as they have a higher spring rate than that of the G35's H-Techs.

i know the G35 and G37 are two different cars, but i guess i just need clarification.

Thanks!

So the G35's are using 350Z springs??? Hmmm... 350Z's = Higher spring rate (which is what we need right?) Can someone clarify?

Most people with G35's did go with the 350Z S and H Techs because they had a higher spring rate and they gave an extra .5" drop.

I havent tested the 350Z H-Tech or S-Tech, so I can't comment on it. In theory, that higher spring rate should result in less of a drop, but you never know until someone tries it.

The feedback we have gotten on the G35 H-Tech's has been very solid. I can try a set of the 350Z H-Tech's and see how those work too.

If the actual height of the two springs were the same and one had a higher rate, you would expext it to have a higher stance. I'm guessing the 350z spring is higher rate but lower height? Someone would have to have both and measure I suppose...

Hey Sharif - I probably should have asked this before I ordered (o well) ...But is there any truth after the H-Techs settle the rear will be lower then the front? I would hope thats not the case, but I dont know much about the results others have had thus far...

Hmm...I don't think so....nor have our customers seen that. There is very little settling...according to our customers.

Agreed. Very little settling, nothing like the H&Rs . Maybe an 1/8 of an inch (1/4 max) for me and that was after a very very aggressive mountain run.

I couldn't be happier with H-Techs.

Guys i'm thinking about ordering the H-Techs first thing monday morning, is it true the handling will be worse than the stock springs that came with the car? and someone confirm that it is a 1inch drop?

Why would it be worse? They aren't THAT big of a jump. Lower center of gravity =

From what I've been told, its a softer suspension than stock. So lower center of gravity aside, it won't handle as well as the stock springs.
