Thanks Forza370z, your advice is right on with MJB and Fuct. Fuct told me he was running -1.7 and -2.0 w/o a camber kit or toe bolts. He gave the same feedback as you guys before I started down this road. It is pretty reassuring to know that I am getting quality advise from you all.

I'm going to see how the tires wear for now. I live in a small town, so knowing the shop owner has some dividends. He has promised me a free alignment adjustment later if needed. I may go with camber arms and toe bolts at that time. Thanks again and Rep given.

You are welcome buddy. Your car looks nice lowered on those Tein s-tech.:tup:

Did you do 15mm all 4 corners? Im planning on getting swifts soon and your setup looks sweet!

Must be the 2010 silver paint:icon17:
The GMat sound deadening in the back helped a lot! I covered up those vents in the rear of the car with 2 layers of GMat and some foam. That killed a lot of the road wind noise heard from the rear of the car. Doin the doors right now!:tup:

Yes, 15's on all 4 corners. You can probably go to 20's, but with the Nismo finders you might rub a little if you upsize your tires and drop it 1.5" or more.

Sweet, that is also on my to do list, but I need to get an oil cooler installed before the summer, I mean mid spring when temps start to rise. Did you install the GMat yourself and if so, on scale 1 to 10 how hard would the install be for a novice?

Ive Installed deadening in many other Vehicles. It's pretty easy to do, it's just really time consuming and the back of the Z isn't the easiest to get into... Oil cooler is on my list also;)

I just lowered my car with swifts instead and 15mm spacers (very similar setup). No camber arms or bolts or alignment... I am experiencing a vibration when I hit the brakes at around 80 mph... Are u experiencing this?

I took my Nis for a ride yesterday...no problem with vibration at any speeds or during braking! I hope you get your problem figured out. I hate having stuff go wrong with my vehicles. :mad:

Hotrodz 01-03-2013 10:43 PM

I'll be installing my TEINS with Eibach sways when I get back from an LA road trip I'm taking at the end of next week. I don't have time to install and get aligned prior.

I also have 20mm front & 25mm rear spacers ;)

:happydance:

As far as a review. The springs provide for a better or softer ride than the stock Nismo springs without sacrificing handling in my opinion. In fact I would say its better given the wider and lower stance in combination with the spacers. I am still on stock tires and I really like the look. I have a very steep drive way and I am able to get in and out of it with little scraping.

As far as the drop, its definitely lower than advertised. It's about 1.5" as other have attested too. The wheels will rub all so slightly if you turn them fully, which I seldom do.I also attach my alignment specs for your review. I do not have toe bolts or a camber kit.

I would like to give Fuct props for providing me with information and support in coming to a decision. You the man! :tup:

glad i could help, but im curious about the items i highlighted above. the teins are a much higher spring rate. im shocked you find them softer than the factory springs.

and you rub? where? ive never experienced this.
