they also claim .75 drop in the back and .87 up front. i got more like an inch front and back.

heres my car on the left with a members car on the right. (thx Jenny!) she is no drop no spacer, im tein springs and 15mm spacers.



dont know about yall but i think the tein drop is spot on!





p.s. i think i might go with 20mm spacers up front later on when i change out my front rotors.

You are so right, my bad. I could have sworn that when I was looking for my spring they had H-techs, but now that I think about it, and look at the Tein usa site, I must have been looking at the 350Z H-techs.

The Tein coilovers are awesome. I had the Super Drift coils on my S14 with the EDFC (electronic damping force controller) which allows to control the damping from your driver seat, it was awesome. Some racing classes don't allow for it, so I would put my setting in that I wanted, and then just disconnected it. It's nice to be able to dial in or out understeer, and oversteer on the fly.
Now Tein as the EDFC active pro, which adjusts things on the fly for you with four wheel independent adjustments, front and rear separate, and right and left simultaneous adjustment. Pretty cool stuff if your into that sort of thing.

You might also look at the differences between and progessive spring rate and non, for your spring setup.
