Bodyboarder81 Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Hi , I've done a search and read some good and bad about the tein springs . I would love to hear from people who are running these springs and mainly to ask how the compare to the standard springs with regards to comfort and compliance on our roads ? They state they drop the car 14/17 .... Is this correct in the real world? Thanks for your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAMLNJ Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 I'd be interested to see some comments on this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aidan Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 (edited) Have them on my car - can't say I notice any real difference in comfort. As for ride height - pretty much as it says on the tin (14/17mm)....hence not to much of a drop that requires other mods (adjustable arms and such). And they are a pretty green colour as well.

KyleR Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Not heard anything bad about the springs, but I have read a few things regarding the quality of some of their other items. Just things like shocks leaking or corroding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jp606 Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 (edited) Had mine on a while, love them. Ride is very OEM, very slightly stiffer but nothing that noticeable. Progressively sprung so stiffen in corners and a perfect ride height for me, struggle on some speed bumps but nothing major. I wouldn't want to be any lower!

Bodyboarder81 Posted June 7, 2014 Author Share Posted June 7, 2014 That's great .. Just what I wanted to hear, thank you. Where's the best place to buy them from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aidan Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Hate to say it but ebay is prob your cheapest option - but worth a try at some of the retailers on here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jp606 Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 (edited) Best price, best service. Edited June 7, 2014 by Jp606 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BulletMagnet Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 I have had them on my Zed for a few years now, no complaints from me. As mentioned before, ever so slightly stiffer than OEM. The drop is mild, but does not need the extra mods like adjustable camber arms and bolts like you would if you went lower. Any camber can be brought back in line with factory adjusters. Mine were supplied and fitted by Abbey Motorsport 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjohnson1993 Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 i have them on mine and have no complaints at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewen@Clark Motorsport Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 We have them in stock and are a Tein master dealer The UK kits are designed for UK roads others are not, so be wary of kits that seem a lot cheaper on eBay they will be Japanese spec kits designed for their very smooth roads http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/78817-tein-s-tech-springs-in-stock-for-350z-17350-delivered/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HARMLU Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 (edited) I have had mine on for a while now. Slightly harsher over a rough road and possibly a bit more noisy? Stiffer around corners and I find that when you get a loose back end, the car 'snaps' back in to line better than before. I got mine from Clark Motorsport, and couldn't recommend them enough. As for fitting them, my thread should give you a rough idea of what is involved. I would also recommend getting spacers to compliment the stance. 25mm rear, 20mm front. No need for arch rolling or adjustable camber arms. edit: link would help http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/80089-harmlu-build-project-to-fi/ Edited July 22, 2014 by HARMLU 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Payco Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Agree with all the above. Had them on mine for a year and can only say good things about them.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jp606 Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 I swear it was only a few months ago you put them on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bodyboarder81 Posted July 24, 2014 Author Share Posted July 24, 2014 Bought some and fitted the other week .... Got them from ebay as suggested £156 delivered . Really pleased with them , slightly firmer but not a lot in it , handles probably about the same as standard and with 20/30 spacers looks spot on .
