Skunk2 lowering springs

[Mat C]

Has anyone fitted Skunk2 lowering springs, in particular the red ones that retail for approx £240 on Tegiwa. If so, what's the ride quality like, how much did it lower by and does the car clear the average uk speed hump?

JDM aftermarket suspension tends to ride firm as it's developed locally on their smooth roads. I believe the UKDM 350z had its suspension tuned for our roads.

Any reason to be going for those vs the tried and tested options like Tein?

Yes, don't laugh - they're red! 🤣🤣

Nooooo, dude if you get the wrong springs and ruin the ride you wont give a jot what colour they are 

 

Do bear in mind what just replacing springs can do to your car (not teaching you to suck eggs by any means) have a read here where the photos above came from https://my350z.com/forum/brakes-and-suspension/300769-base-350z-on-skunk2-lowering-springs-write-up.html

Definitely don't want a harsh ride so i will stick with Tein and I've not had any problems in the past using stock shocks with Tein springs. I may yet decide to add new Tein shocks while i'm at it but it's easy enough to add after!
