2003 Nissan 350Z - *Settled* Eibach Sportline lowering springs

[IamAtree000001]

hey man would you recommend s-tein springs or these eibachs?

[merrylt]

@IamAtree000001 I have never dealt with the Tein so I would suggest going with the Eibachs.

Sweet ride brother!!!

[Betterthayouality]

what rims are those

?

[frayser84]

Hey man were the springs hard to change? I just change some springs on a 96 mustang and im just wondering if it was harder on a Z

[merrylt]

@frayser84 It's definitely not easy! Took and good part of the day!

Hey buddy do u have any wheel spacers or did u need to roll fenders?

[merrylt]

@ryanh1gg1ns16 I do not have wheel spacers, and i went ahead and had the fenders rolled just in case or for when i do install spacers.

[wccrispy]

That car is lowww :) It seems that you do pretty well for yourself. Did you change anything else with the suspension such as shocks/struts, sway bars, and did you have to change the caster/camber of the wheels?

[merrylt]

@wccrispy It has G35 sport shocks. I put rear adjustable camber arms on also.

[MrYamaha4life]

Dude that thing is beautiful. did you do the springs yourself?

[merrylt]

@MrYamaha4life yea me and one of my buddies did them!

oh and i noticed u have headlight tint, where did u get that? do u have any cracks on ur headlights because i read on the 350Z forums that overlays tend to make the headlights crack after awhile because of heat buildup and whatnot. also, how dark are ur window tints? thanks a lot bro i appreciate ur time!

[merrylt]

@350Zaddict I would not recommend the headlight tint it takes away a lot of the headlight power! I did the tint because my headlights were starting to crack already and i wanted them to cover up. I have since then order a new set of headlights. My driver side and passenger side are 5% a\my rear is 2x 5% and my front i believe is 35%.

hey man, sick car! i got a few questions though since im new to drops and all of that. im running my black 17" stock rims (stock tires), and was thinking about getting 25mm Ichiba spacers for the front and rear as well as either the Eibach Sportline or Pro Kit. now i was wondering if i got those on my stock wheels if i needed to do any additional mods, or will i just be able to bolt on and play basically? thanks for ur help bro!

[merrylt]

@350Zaddict Spacers are a must! You might even be able to go with a little bit bigger spacers if you can. I was thinking about getting a 20mm for my fronts and 15mm for the rear. The sportline kit will get the car lower than the pro kit. i would also get rear adjustable camber arms, the camber arms will also come with new toe bolts which need to be installed. The installation is definitely not easy so beware!

[350Zaddict]

@merrylt Ok thanks man! I kinda don't want to go with bigger spacers since I don't want to roll the fenders. But now I'm thinking of 25mm front/rear and Tanabe GF210 springs instead. I also am planning on getting the rear camber arm + toe kit. As for the installation, I was gonna have my friend do them for me but maybe I'll just take my Z to the bodyshop instead... Did you have to do an alignment after all of this? If so, how much do they usually cost? Thank for the speedy response btw.

[merrylt]

@350Zaddict Yes i would definitely recommend a professional alignment. I beiev it costs around $100 and the guy said that if i woudnt have gotten it aligned my tires wouldve been gone in less than a month!

[350Zaddict]

@merrylt Ouch a month?! That's ridiculous.. Ok so I guess when I buy the springs I'll wait on the install and just purchase everything all together so I won't wear anything out. So springs, spacers, rear camber arm and toe kit, and an alignment. Then I'll post up a video! ;) Thanks bro I appreciate it your help! Are you on the forums btw?

[merrylt]

@350Zaddict Yea i would definitely just get everything together before you install anything bc the camber arms are just right there! Yea im on My350Z (username is tlrmade).

[350Zaddict]

@merrylt True man, thanks again! Add me, my username is VPL-Z on all 3 forums lol. By the way I'm getting 15% tint all around, 50% windshield tint, and 15% visor tomorrow. I'm pumped!

[ryanh1gg1ns16]

sweet man it looks sick as hell!! Love how low it sits. What do u mean by spring mod? Also what is the offset of the koblenz and do u have spacers? Sorry for all the questions just tryin to figure some stuff out. lol One of the nicest 350z's ive seen so far for sure :)

[merrylt]

@ryanh1gg1ns16 The passenger side rear will sit higher than the drivers side unless the cone that fits inside the spring is trimmed. Theyre are a ton of threads about the mod. I cant remeber what the offsets are and i wish i could. I do need some spacers to get a little better fitment. Thanks man ive put a lot of time and work into over the past few years!
