370Ad Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Eibach springs. Front is seriously low and lip scrapes everywhere! High speed stability has greatly improved though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The G Man Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 I had them, really stiffens up the roll. And yes the plastic bit scrapes on every single speed bump, slopes as well, as in driveways, multi storey car parks etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tatooandy67 Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Had ARK GT-F springs fitted earlier this year front 30mm rear 25mm drop, no rubbing and car feels planted but as above the plastic bits under the front bumper scrape on speed bumps and driveways etc, sounds bad but does no harm as the bits that scrape are flexible. I think when funds permit I will change to either coilovers or bags though as I'd like to go much lower Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another issue to be aware of is getting a jack under the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewen@Clark Motorsport Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 The Tein springs give less of a drop than the Eibachs (25mm front and rear) We are going to be running a Group Buy on the Tein springs for the 350Z and 370Z shortly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, can't get a normal trolley jack underneath it 😳 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nissanman312 Posted October 22, 2014 Author Share Posted October 22, 2014 Is it possible with coilovers to have the handling improved with out lowering dramatically Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MITZ@CougarStore Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Nick, you don't have to drop too much, as with Coilovers you're freshening up the shocks too, so you'll feel a notable difference, ARBs would be a good starting point for handling if you're happy with the stock ride and height...

Kev T Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Go with ARBs to start i have Eibachs on my 370 and it was quite an improvement over oem and a cheap suspension mod for around £400. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev T Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Certainly a noticeable improvement and i found the stiffer ARBs improved the floaty feeling encountered at high speed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
