H&R Springs Anyone ?

KevR6, I'm looking forward to your findings on what’s required with these springs. This will be my first experience lowering a car and having to deal with camber arms etc...Damn, If lowering cars was like trucks I'd be set. Thanks!

The rear camber kit and spring install will be done while it's on the Hunter Alignment rack, so it will be determinded right away if I will need to install the toe bolts or not. My guess is NO. Thx for the input guys.

kevr6 should be posting pics soon.

I've ordered a set also. Looking forward to kevr6 pics. Hopefully it's not slammed and the fronts Are lower than the rears as advertised.

ZForce · 03-31-2010, 07:43 PM

They should be, I had the same springs on my Z33 with the same drop of 1.3" Fr & 1.0 Rr. I will see about posting up a pic later tonight, yeh it's not gonna be the Z34 but you will get an idea.

Post those pics As I only found one pic on the 350z forum. The g37 hr springs makes it look slammed but those springs drop it 1.5 inches.

I got a box Today!! I should have them installed within the next few days!

Here ya go, both SS and IF have the same suspension setup.

H&R Springs drop to 1.3" Fr & 1.0" Rr
Koni Yellows (new version)
SPC Upper Control Arms
SPC Rear Camber Kit (no toe bolt required)
H&R wheel spacers

^^^ That looks like its going to be the perfect drop for us if its the same as it is on the Z33..

ZForce · 04-02-2010, 01:05 AM

I would really like to see these mounted up on a Z34. H&R have a .04" more drop on the Fr than Eibachs. I wonder how the spring rates compare?

My only concern with this much drop is how much is gonna drag going up driveways. The Z34 is pretty low to start with.

The H&R spring is a very high quality spring! I've had good experience with them on my previous cars.
