Those sprigs seem to have pretty stiff rates (compared to 240s anyway) and if it is a big difference over stock you may also need to upgrade the shocks, although I would recommend that anyway.
My opinion is to just go out and get a set of fully adjustable coilover dampners especially since you like to track the bitch.
Also, what do these go for brand new? Because the price seems a little high for used springs…even though they are Nismo.
Stock spring rate for my car is about 6kg front and 8kg rear.
They are actually stiffer than some coilovers, but unlike coilovers, these are setup for more neutral handling since most coilovers have more stiffer fronts than rear. They are used for SCCA applications…
As for shocks, Nismo claims that it can be used with stock shocks which is cheaper alternative at the moment.
Springs+Coilovers = cheaper and probably more streetable.
haha, depends on whether or not he likes to feel is back getting destroyed hahaha. that’s pretty stiff man. good for track, probralby not the most comfortable on the street, considering the state of our roads these days.
heightwise Dropping an inch probrably wouldn’t cause that much problems, but i’m sure there’ be scrapping even with oem bumpers if the ramp/bump is big enough. Another thing you have to consider is that you gotta make sure whatever jack you use for your car will fit under the car after you lower you car
Hahaha, will keep those in mind Jason. It doesn’t really look like it’ll cause any problems from the picture and videos of it. Little bit stiff, yes, but nothing that I can’t tolerate :P.
My only question now is how they will do when mated to the stock struts…
Update: Got the springs. Clearly there’s evidence that the guy winter drove it already due to spots of rust on chipped paint. I took care of that today… temporarily…
I’m gonna install it sometimes next week after my SPC Camber kit comes in…
These are going to be STIFF!! Hope you’re not planning on driving the car through anything but glass-smooth roads. As long as you’re happy with them, that’s all that matters, but I would never want anything that stiff on my ride.
I have a complete set of TC Kline spec Koni struts that are not availible from Koni direct I have front and rear that were test fitted and never used I am selling them for a very low price.This will help in handling on the road and track.These will fit the 350Z and the G35 coupe 2WD only e-mail me at vic@simone performance.com for a price I believe this will be a great combo for your car set up.
