Best springs...
 

I'm looking to drop my car a little bit. But don't want to pay for coilovers because I think they would more then I need cuz I'll probably never go to a track. Sooo, what springs do you all think would be best? I'm keeping my stock wheels for awhile, probably gonna put spacers on to get more flush, and the car is only going to be driven in warm weather. Its getting parked in a shop in winters.

Eibach for about an inch drop. If you do lower you will need expensive front and rear camber kits.

seems like H&R's are popular too here... i'd prefer to run new dampers if i get lowering springs... keeping my fingers crossed that hitachi (tokico) does D-Specs for us.

Yes and at a 1.2" drop you are going to need front and rear control arms to correct the camber. With the Eibach you can probably get away with no camber kit with minimal camber issues. I hear maybe just for the rear...

I have Tanabe GF210s on mine... I like them!

I'm on H&R lowering springs + H&R 20mm spacers F/R and I only used the SPC rear camber kit (toe bolts included but not needed/used) to get a final camber alignment of 1'5'' front and 1'2'' rear. Toe is 0'03'' Front and 0'08'' Rear.

But I'm really waiting for a manufacturer (ie: Koni yellow) to produce adjustable shocks. The stock shocks are too soft for my liking.

The h&r's look really good. But with the camber kits its almost in coilover range. But I hear eibachs are real soft and cause a bumpy ride. So I going to keep waiting for replies. Havnt heard anything about teins yet? I'm leaning towards h&rs right now though.

I've had eibachs on 2 of my previous cars but they got super bouncy over time and handling was adversely affected. I swore to never go with eibachs again. I am also looking for something that drops ~.5" f/r so i don't have to use a camber kit. I've had excellent results with h&r/neuspeeds in the past but the h&r seems like it drops a bit too much and neuspeed doesnt make springs for nissans.

The Tein S-Techs provide a very nice drop (.9 front/.7 rear) and upgraded handling without dropping so much as to necessitate a camber kit.

We have some in stock and could get a set out to you today if needed :)

its probably not the springs that caused the bounce but shocks/struts which prematurely wear over time..

H&R's are the best choice for me..i dont like alot of gap and the spings ride like stocks...i would of went with a linear set like Swifts but i contacted them and they have no plans on developing springs for the 370Z..

I'm also looking at a small drop, but mostly want the best ride and handling possible. I know it can't ride like a caddy and handle like a porsche, but as close to both as possible. What setup would give a smooth comfortable ride, as for as springs, shocks, coilovers ? Sorry for the super noob question; i've got the sport pgk, hotchkis sways, and 20" rims and tire setup of 255/30/20 front and 305/25/20 rear. I had eibach pro kit on but it was bumpy as hell, i thought taking them out would help but no. Maybe tires with more profile would help, somthing like 255/35/20 f. 305/30/20 r.... Sorry for highjacking this thread for a min. It's driving me nuts... any help is appreciated. Thanks again ......here's a pic. with the stock spring setup (no drop)

Its kind of hard to gauge your defintion of bumpy but you only have a couple other options...teins, tanabe, h&r's etc..personally i prefer the h&r's and i've tried them all...you might want to try a kw coilover setup..they are very street friendly and adjustable to whatever height you want..

Bumpy compared too stock spring/tire setup, i've heard the KW's are a nice setup. Do you think different tires would help ?

Yes, larger profile and less air pressure helps ease the ride..
