Briggsybriggs1 Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Hi as above I'm after dropping my car and thinking lowing springs because they are cheaper and I don't track the car. Or going for coilovers for the added adjustment for the speed bumps on my street :-).iv got a 2006 roadster all standered apart from 20inc alloys and a duplex exhaust. So hit me if you have got any for sale thanks This is the gap I need to fill Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewen@Clark Motorsport Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 (edited) If you're not after to much of a drop the Teins are a good bet, http://www.350z-uk.c...7350-delivered/ Drop me a PM if I can help Edited January 7, 2014 by Clark Motorsport/Zmanalex 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HARMLU Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Received teins from Clark Motorsport last week. Fitting them thurs if the weather holds out. Went for the teins specifically because of the subtle drop and the fact I have no immediate plans to track the car. Hope that helps with your decision making 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisUUC Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Whats gthe lowest springs you can get? FK's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briggsybriggs1 Posted January 10, 2014 Author Share Posted January 10, 2014 Whats gthe lowest springs you can get? FK's? Think if you go any lower than 30mm you will scrap on every speed bump. Think fk,s are coilovers then you can really drop :-) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think fk,s are coilovers then you can really drop :-) Wrong! I'm 35mm with a nismo bumper and never scrape. :-/. Compared to my last car it feels like miles away from the floor! I also ha a k1 which sits low, and again never scrapes. It was close on the mot brake test, but my last car they couldn't even get on. .

I don't know what your speed bumps are like, but I have never found one I can't get over, when I had a mx5 it was 250mm lower and it would scrape on roads that appeared to be flat. I could still drag it over a speed bump. . Your never get 'stuck!' Ha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Briggsybriggs1 Posted January 13, 2014 Author Share Posted January 13, 2014 Just got my hands on some Eibachs pro street springs second hand for Scootg thanks, but will still be interested in any second hand coilovers that come up :-) Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jp606 Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Don't forget you will need adjustable rear camber arms and toe bolts if you are dropping that much, anything over 20mm tends to need them to get the camber back into factory spec or your tyres will be mullered! Eibach Pro Streets drop around 30mm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ewen@Clark Motorsport Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 You would need to get the alignment setup once fitting the springs. With a 30mm drop you will more than likely will have excess negative camber which will give you a bit more inside tyre wear but as long as the front and rear toe are correctly adjusted it shouldn't be to bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briggsybriggs1 Posted January 13, 2014 Author Share Posted January 13, 2014 Thanks for that might have to get some In the near future :-) but will be going for coil overs later on in the year Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
