TEIN H-tech G35's Install on the G37C-PERFECT DROP

I know we've all been going round and round, waiting on Eibach, dealing with the HR's that claim to drop 1 inch, and instead we got 2 inches...etc...etc. Waiting on coilovers..etc..etc...

Seems like it's been impossile to get the coveted 1-1.2 inch drop on the G37 Coupe.

Well, we decided to try a set of Tein H-Tech for a G35 Coupe on a customer's G37 Coupe. I think we have a winner! Looks like roughly a 1 inch drop. What do you guys think? We will probably use the H-Techs' from now on...I like this look, and the ride is like stock.

a little off topic, but...

Sharif, have you put a G37 / 350z H&R spring side by side and compared them? I'm thinking they're just selling 350z springs as G37 springs

Only thing I would think of is maybe the extra weight of the 37 and a reduced spring weight for the 35 might make the ride a little spongy.

im guessin the only downside would be that our car is heavier and the rider would be alot bouncier?
correct me if im wrong not sure though, but i wouldnt get anything tats not made for our car.

Spring rates are probably the same. They were for the coils from G35 to G37. Thats a nice drop though.

Thanks for the pics Shariff
This was the route I was planning on going:

https://www.myg37.com/forums/showthr...=178733&page=2

Ever since I saw a member with them on and damn eibach taking so long to release their springs, this might be a very good alternative

Now if you can post again after they settle, that would give me a very good idea...also, I been looking around for prices for G35c H-techs, Shariff how much do you sell them?
Thanks
