H&R Springs Anyone ?

If you get coilovers get the ones with helper springs. I don't think the gf drops it low enough if you like it lower. The hr drops the front so there is 1 finger gap.

Just curious, why do you recommend the helper springs?

I think it will be easier to preload the suspensions.

Hey azn370z,

Have you checked out the GT Comp coilovers ? Im looking into getting these and they seem like a pretty reputable company.

No helper springs on their kits though, I think if it were a concern, these companies would have helper springs on all coilovers they were producing for the 370z.

I haven't really looked at those coilovers. The bc didn't have helper springs either but If it did it would make setting the ride height easier. I had to put car on Jack stands, take off wheels, adjust coilovers, repeat, repeat, etc. With helper springs I think I could get everything right in 2 tries. And I think there would be no chance the spring would rattle, which my bc didn't.

If I were to buy coilovers again I would buy from a bigger company like kw. Bc isn't a bad company, their product is not bad and they do have decent customer service. But I definitely would like helper springs.

I pulled the trigger today and ordered me a set of the H&R sport springs ! Cant wait to get these installed.

How would these springs match up with the Nismo Z dampers ? Theres a guy whos local selling his nismo suspension and ive been contemplating picking these up and slapping on the H&R springs.

Any ideas on if these would be well matched ?

I really like the hr springs, I'm already thinking of putting hr springs on my next z. From what I have read the nismo suspensions ride a bit harsh, not sure how harsh though. I really like the oem shocks and hr spring combo, lowered look but comfortable ride.
