Forged Performance: TEIN Flex Install 370Z Complete

Sharif@Forged · 02-02-2010, 12:00 PM

Just finished installing a set of TEIN Flex on a customer's 370Z. The TEIN Flex runs a 12KG (670lb) spring all around, vs. the 14KG (780lb) spring of the TEIN Mono Flex, which gives the car a little bit softer ride. I am running the Mono Flex's on my 370Z, and its hard for me to tell the difference in firmness when driving down the street, but a subtle difference does exist. We are also running the RE11's 265/305 on his OEM wheels with some spacers.

Here are some pics I thought I would share.

I really like the stance on that. There isn't any rubbing ? Could you pm me the height from ground to fender on the front and rear ? Looks great !

Stock wheels painted K11 (Nissan color code) which is very similar to the stock GT-R wheels color. Since I came from the GT-R, I wanted a similar look on the white. Of course, I had Volk G2s in High Metal Bronze on the GT-R, but this color wasn't an option for these wheels as matching that paint would be extremely difficult. No color code to be had.

Rubbing is nominal on the front, but this is due to two reasons. 1) I hadn't trimmed the small protrusion on the front of the fender liner that covers the bumper/fender connection and 2) I have the front's offset a bit too agressive. I went with 18mm spacers on the front and in truth, 15mm is going to be perfect. I thought of lessening it by 5mm to a 13mm, but my measurements show this is going to be too wimpy. Rubbing shouldn't be an issue with the new spacers and after having trimmed the front liners. The rear doesn't touch anywhere.

I will post up the height from ground to fender once I have a free moment to measure this for you guys.

*lol* No crap, right?

No, no longer have the GT-R. Loved the car, but missed the build process and had a disconnect since I didn't track the car. I need a manual. Plain and simple.
