Jason, whatever you do. DO NOT buy Tein's springs for the G (H or S tech). For some reason Tein screwed up in their R&D and thought that making the lowering springs softer would be a good idea. I also got the H-tech for the Z on my ride also, perfect drop (still in alligment spec or very close to it so that you won't require a camber kit as you will most likely would with the S-tech) and ride isn't harsh.I got mine for $145 shipped and i think I can still get it for that price if you want. Just want to make it clear that if you go Tein (which I recomend), you need the Z's spring.

I'm running Tein H-techs for the Z as well. The front drop is pretty good. The rear however sits a little high for my taste BUT, I didn't have to get a camber kit and etc. My car is still drivable in most areas with little worry and barely clears the drive way with the Nismo bumper. Between the two, S or H-techs, if you're going purely for looks, I say get the S-techs but you may need a camber kit. If you want to be conservative and budget conscious, go with the H-techs. The rear gap really shows once you have a really aggressive offset in the rear otherwise it's not that noticeable. In my case, I'm running +25 in the rear with 275 tire. There's a slight gap but nothing horrendous.

I currently have the 350z Htechs, but I am thinking about switching them out in spring/summer if I don't go coilovers. The rear drop just isn't that great with the htechs, still a nice gap there, but the fronts are perfect.

the 350z H tech are better because they have a slight stiffer spring rate than the G's H tech and even the stock ones, they will also lower u a little more than the G's. I'm running the G h tech in the front and the Z h tech in the back.

I'm almost 100% positive you go with the Z S-Tech's you're going to need a camber kit. Maybe not with the G S-Tech's but I can't confirm. I wouldn't run the G springs anyways. If you want slammed, just plan on going with the Z S-Tech's but you're going to DEF need the camber kit and be good about driving through bumps.

The Z S-techs wont give you any problems. I know several people that have these springs and no issues at all. You wont have any gap space really as opposed to the Z H-techs.

Pratik is right, if you go with the Z's S tech's your gonna need a camber kit. Jason, its all upto you? What are you trying to do? Drop the car about an inch or more than that. I love the H tech's, but i wouldn't say the drop is perfect. I feel like my rear is still jacked up while my front is pretty low. Personally, i would go lower if i could....

With the H-tech, i'm already at the farther limits of my oem allignment spec. Any lower and the camber wear will start to be more noticable. It's not a problem per se, but camber wear will increase. It's usually not a "problem" people really report on in regard to springs. With wider tires, that problems will probably gets even worse. Plus, around here, I'm barely clearing them speedbumps and other obstacle. It'd be a nightmare to be any lower IMO.
