RS-R springs?

tjlazer · 06-12-2010, 03:18 PM

Well I decided to take the plunge and try the RS*R Ti2000 springs for my 370Z! They are for the 350Z and are linear springs with a .6" drop. Not sure if it will also be a .6 drop on the 370Z but that is what I wanted, a mild drop. I did not want to go Eibach route with a .9" drop and do a progressive spring as I heard they are bouncy. I used the RS*R down springs from a 350Z on my G35C and they were awesome and gave me a 1.1" drop, but I suspect these will work fine on my car with around a .6" drop like the 350. Wish my luck!

Interesting. I was thinking the other day how I want a SLIGHT drop (no more than .75").

I can certainly understand that! I can't even pull in/out my own driveway without scraping the air dam thingy, let alone most parking lots around town.

wow...so do the 350 springs fit the 370 without any modification? please keep us posted. I'm very interested in this as well!

Well I decided to wait as I was told when I was going to place my order that RS*R is releasing a spring for the 370Z. Might as well get the right one right?

3 months out I am told.

tbonesteak · 06-16-2010, 10:50 PM

did you get any specific information? how much will it drop? spring rates? linear?

tjlazer · 06-17-2010, 01:08 AM

No other info was released to us.

Take an educational guess man.. I'm too lazy to translate it.
kg/mm = spring rate
mm = drop height

yah, about $400 retail for just 10-15mm drop. not worth the hassle.

just get the s-tune kit with the dampers. 20mm drop with matching dampers, and even a nissan warranty.

Retail yes, but they won't sell close to 400. More like 2-300 at most.

Lol, I know. Just giving you a hard time.

tbonesteak · 06-17-2010, 07:06 PM

so .5-.75" drop both fr and rr? also anyone off the top know how the spring rate conversion works out to be? Thanks for that info!

kenchan · 06-17-2010, 07:32 PM

If its only going to drop that little how about just getting the s-tune kit with the dampers? Think those run like $800. Much better package/deal in the long run.
