I dropped the pressure a bit, it was at 37/38 warm. I dropped it to 33/34 sih. That helped some, its not so much the shaking, but the fact it now feels like my rear is turning quicker than it is supposed to. We will see exactly, but I will drive it a bit more and see. Maybe it was just from drinking ALLLLLL last night LOL

Whata he// of a weekend! got injured both saturday night and sunday! anyways, i thought that i had my mind set on the springs but now i'm not sure again lol... sounds like i don't want the Tanabes cuz i do like to have the front lower than the rear. and the H-techs, i gotta go with the 350z instead of the G cuz the G ones aren't even?!? And the Teins are softer than stock. and only Mike is suggesting the Eibachs. I HATE DECISIONS LIKE THIS ONE!

Eibach are probably the way to go if you are sticking with springs. I want coilovers down the road though just because you get the flexibility to adjust and get the perfect stance for your taste and needs. It s funny coz I never thought I d care to adjust ride height until now.

Actually I think it's the other way around Hossam...the 350z htechs give a slightly raked stance with the front a tad more of a drop than rear and I believe the G htechs are an even drop...all my research bookmarks are on my other computer but I know there are threads on this on driver. How soon were you looking to buy? Maybe we can meetup sometime next week so you can see and drive my setup before you commit.

Probably end of this month. We can meet up so i can see it, but i'm not sure if driving would be fair right now since its fairly cold out and it would probably be different now than in the summer (that would probably go with any of the springs) or maybe i'm just confusing myself with the different options. idk, maybe we can meet up for lunch somewhere (and others are invited, can have a little gathering before spring?!?!)

i know what you mean. i don't know if i'd wanna go with coilovers right now. maybe in the future. and this is the reason why i wanna pin down exactly who i want the stance and which springs will provide that cuz i can't adjust on springs. decisions DECISIONS

Hossam, I don't think the weather will change the spring characteristics much or enough to really notice.

Agreed, if anything I'm sure after driving it for a bit they would be warmed and the same. But I don't believe the cold weather will affect it very much.

Worst case scenario....you drive it in the colder weather, the spring compresses a bit harder and your still happy with the ride. When summer rolls around you will be even happier cuz the spring might not compress as much giving you a smoother ride. I'm just saying if there was ever a time it would ride roughest the colder weather would surely be it, and if your happy with the ride now you will be even more pleased in the summer ...but I don't see it being an issue at all like Peng said
