05 350z springs installed and pics

today i installed a new set of rear springs wich are the revised 05 version for the 350z and got rid of the teins wich where only at a rate of 263 lbs/in., compared to the new ones at 427 lbs/in. wich stiffened up the back and gave it incredible handling

so far i am keeping the front ones on cuz i like the drop and the spring rate is a little higher than the 350's, so after the back settles we'll see how it looks.

here some pics to compare the Tein versus 350z's
i'll post some pics when she settles...

I just did a spring install. I had never done a spring install before, and I did it without any help.

To perform the front and rear springs, I used:

(1) hydraulic jack
(2) jack stands
(1) set of spring compressors
(1) 18V cordless impact gun

The impact gun makes a huge difference in the ease and quickness of the job.
The fronts are more work than the rear, but it is all common sense. Just look at it, and you'll figure it out. The rears are a snap!!! 1 Bolt and Nut!!!

any plans on selling the H-tech rears?

I have 350Z h-tech, but I would like the rear a little higher.
