I really liked the H&R on the Z33 and I like them just as well on the Z34, to the point where I really came close to selling my boxed up Eibachs for some H&R's. But this time around I am keeping the total cost down low, so Eibachs will be the way to go for me. Therefore I will not have to spend extra $$ on the upper control arms to get the fronts back into oem spec. Savings of about $500.

As far as the rear on the H&R giving the car too much of a rake, like myself. Maybe look into cutting about 0.5" off the rear rubber spring mounts. That's what I did for the Z33, from the previously posted pics a few pages back. Looked clean...imho...but it's all a personal preference.

It's a tough call....if you want the lowered look then plan on shelling out additional $$ for upper control arms. If you want to the minimum cost for lowered look, then go with Eibachs and you should not need the upper control arms. Either springs will require rear camber kits. For the fronts I still prefer SPC, they are well manufactured and great for DD. SPL are stiffer, a bit more $$ and ideal for track. Stay away from Kinetix.

Overall the H&R look sweet and aggressive and if I had the extra $$ I would go this route. Nice job guys!

I was actually looking at the 350z forums and reading about cutting the spring mount. It definitely looks better with that mod. maybe in a year or so when I get the energy.
