Tom-89 Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 hello! Just left a deposit on an '04 350z import. It has been lowered at the back (only at the back...) on RSR springs, frankly it's too low and too stiff. I don't really want a drop that is too much lower than standard (been there before nightmare for carparks/speedbumps/everday use) but would be nice if the 19's still filled the arches. So...I understand the Teins don't drop it too much? Would I require anything other than the springs (read somewhere about a camber kit?) and guess they're slightly stiffer without being horrific? cheers!

Justthejedi Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Teins are perfect for a very subtle drop, got them on mine and use it every day, no issues what-so-ever. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom-89 Posted August 24, 2015 Author Share Posted August 24, 2015 cheers jtj! and no camber adjustment either? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie94gts Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 I went for those springs for the same reason. Just changed the rears over myself yesterday, was pretty easy as you don't need to go near the struts. Once you've got the wheel off it's just one bolt. I also tried to do the fronts but couldn't undo the bolt at the bottom of the struts so failed on that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veilside z Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Pm GT4 Zed, he ran Teins up until recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 If your geometry is within tolerances at the moment with the RSRs then you will probably have correction kits fitted already, however if not, then you will be fine with oem with the Teins.

Bodyboarder81 Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 I run the teins on mine ( soon to be coming off ) and I'm with in oem specs without camber correcting extras . Subtle drop , improved handling and still comfy . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom-89 Posted August 24, 2015 Author Share Posted August 24, 2015 thanks for the replies! I assume the geometry is all in spec but have no idea... also if anyone wants a set of rear RSR springs then PM me, as said I have no idea why it's just the rears. good to know I won't be needing the camber kit how come you're changing from the Teins bodyboarder?

Bodyboarder81 Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Only because I want to lower a touch more and be able to adjust the damping to my needs . I run the teins with the bilstein b6 dampers and it really is a great road going set up , tad firmer than stock and yet more comfortable. I'll decide what coilovers I want , and then if I'm happy with them I'll sell the teins/ bilstein combo together . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martybhoy Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 I'm currently waiting on my bilstein b6 shocks to be delivered then I will be using the minimal drop tein springs as I've read a few users state this was a great setup for an improvement without being too harsh.

That would be me and rob If I don't like the coil over route I'll be swopping back asap 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So hopefully soon I can give my thumbs up to this combo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
