RS-R springs?

tjlazer · 06-16-2010, 06:56 PM

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.

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

tjlazer · 06-17-2010, 02:08 AM

No other info was released to us.

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!

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.

tjlazer · 06-17-2010, 11:08 PM

Well for one it's three times the cost, and only a .4" drop. With these you can add them to the S Tune kit.

. Plus the Ti2000 are titanium and ultra light.

I'm sure these are for sale in Japan right now. I want a set!

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

I had eibach pro kit on but it was bumpy as hell, i thought taking them out would help but no. Maybe tires with more profile would help, somthing like 255/35/20 f. 305/30/20 r.... Sorry for highjacking this thread for a min. It's driving me nuts... any help is appreciated. Thanks again

Well...Your first problem was putting all this stuff on stock shocks. Heavy 20" wheels/tires, and springs that need additional shock control have overwhelmed the stock dampers. You've simply added too much unsprung weight in addition to a stiffer spring, resulting in a poor ride.

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.

tjlazer · 06-18-2010, 06:39 PM

I wonder if any sponsors can get some of these to sell? I'm ready to buy.

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