How far do the springs drop the car?

0.4 in

I hear after it settles after about 2 weeks that it's more like 0.7. The springs tend to loosen up once they come off the car. So once they get back on a car it takes a little bit of time to work back into themselves. And on a G37 sedan it's like a 1.75 drop LOL.

Lol, ur spings are already settled after 20k+ miles. It's the first time I hear about used springs loosening and re-settling even more. Nismo Zs are .4in lower. Period.

When it comes off the car the springs un-tighten themselves because there is zero pressure on the coils. I've seen this happen many times on other cars, why would it be different on a 370Z? Sure Nismo springs might be 0.4 lower if you compare them side by side off the car but spring rate and stiffness play a big part when the springs actually settle on the car. Not that 0.4 and 0.7 are much different anyway.... lol

I am not comparing springs. I am comparing ride height between the two version of Z's.. I still don't agree with that theory of springs settling past what they are supposed to settle when removed from one car and installed on another.. Anyway I shouldn't be posting any of this. Buyer should do his homework anyway. GLWS, price is good now.

All I was saying is that when springs are re-installed they still have to re-settle like they did when they were put on the car from factory. Once they're off the car they lose the constant compression. It's probably a few days less than a pair of brand new springs because they have been compressed previously. Like it took 2 weeks for my Swifts so it'll probably take 1 week for Nismo's. But I'm just predicting. Same thing happened with my Cobalt SS. I sold my stock SS springs to a base model Cobalt and the guy complained initially that it didn't drop it enough but then he emailed me a week later and apologized lol. :icon17:

thanks... sp will these work on the touring model... I was told these springs may actually raise the ride hieight! is that possible? Synack... I will pay you in the morning for the springs once i find the answer for the question.

Pending buyer on G37 forums at $150 price. lol I didn't adjust it over there yet! Dude with a sedan G37S is trying to get it.

And no, the Nismo is lower than the touring.....

Sold to a dude on MyG37. Thanks.
