I can't find feedback either. They do make a set specifically for the roadster but they will not say what the spring rates are. They just say "it's better than stock". Ok, well yeah but how much better? Is it a Sport feel or a track feel? Why do you have a set specifically for the roadster when no one else does? ...marketing ploy or different spring rates? Answer: "Our springs are better than stock. We don't discloses the rates." If you don't disclose the rate, how can I compare them or even know what i'm getting? I want 50% stiffer. ..."our Springs are better than stock. We don't disclose the rates". SO if train A went to China at 50mph and Boat B was piloted by a Hippo at 75mph, what are your spring rates? Answer: "our spring rates are better than stock ...blah blah shoot me.

I just went with Swift (not installed yet, just picked up). Props to Corner3 garage for the discount. Swift does not have a separate part # and admitted they have not tested in the roadster but have received positive feedback from customers. Since there is "NO" feedback for the H&R or any other brand, I went with their SpecR.

Didn't search hard enough. FYI, the search button is horrible, instead type into google: site:the370z.com (add in search item here)

H&R Vert Springs

I'm not sure this will help at this point, but I installed a set of H&R springs on my 2010 Roadster a few weeks ago. Though I don't remember exactly what it was, but there was a dash and an additional number at the end of the part number that supposedly indicated they were for a Roadster. I have no information on the spring rates, but they did seem a little stiffer than stock. The problem I had with them is they dropped the car too much. I could barely get the thickness of my fingers between the top of the tire and the fender. For clearance sake, I had to run too much negative camber and personally, I don't care for the hellaflush look. It's great on Joe Blow's Civic, but it's not for me. They stayed on the car a total of 3 days and I went back to stock . As far as I'm concerned, it was a lot of work for nothing, except I got that whole lowering my car notion out of my head. I wish I had taken pictures, but sadly they didn't stay on there long enough for any. As far as the springs go, they seemed fine. Just personal preference.

I haven't had any problems. The little wheel plastic fender part will rub going up the driveway, just got to come at an angle. Everyone has their own thoughts. Mine is that the drop is just right. I am running .7 camber all the way around, no issues with clearance. They are a bit stiffer but nothing crazy, handling has improved.

I'm with you on the height. Girls don't drop their drawers when you drop your ride (if they did, we'd all have air ride). I want performance and comfort without a hassle and I should have my Beilstein's tomorrow. My stock shocks must have drooped as their were 2 fingers gap. The Swift is now a girls finger gap. I'll have to test it out and see if I like it. I think the Nismo kit would have been ideal with only 1/4" drop but it's too late now.
