I need to drop my car, AND I'm looking for stiffer spring rates because at high speeds (90-140 mph) I don't like hitting dips in the road and feel the car bounce/feel very uncontroled (not a nice feeling at that speed)

that makes S-techs and H-techs out of the question.

I prefer not to have a progressive spring and I want an agressive drop AND I don't have money for coilvers or camber kits (so the Tanbe DF210s are out, because I hear you NEED a camber kit)

What should I get?

im pretty sure that the majority of regular lowering springs are progressive because of their use as a daily driver. your best bet would prob be to get the best prog. lowering spring that you can....

I know a few guys that have 350zs which they race and they run RS-R springs. My next mod is going to be some Eibach springs with a 1" drop, but they are more for the daily driver. If you would like something more for the track check out this link.

if you were looking at the tanabe df210's maybe you should have checked out the gf210's instead. they offer more performance and are more than capable of taking on daily driving.

Bippu,

You might want to check the original post date before replying to these. Most of these threads are at least a year if not older.

It's not because people don't go on here much. It's because you became a member right after the Staff reorganized the G35 forums. Before the G35 and G37 forums were separate and only had one forum.

Now we have the sub-forums (General, Brakes/Tires/Wheels, Modification Database...etc).

When they reorganized, all of the old threads got bumped to the top. These areas will slowly but surely get more active. We're all adjusting.
