ive had them on my car for over 9 years now and so far ive been pretty happy with them... i did just replace the rear struts due to it getting soft from the past year or so...its a huge upgrade from stock...

 

what ones did you have on your car for 9 years. he is refering to 2 different ones. iam in the market for new springs myself...something stiffer than stock. anyone know the coil rating on them.

 

sorry bout that .... ive had the tokico's....

 

Did They Lower The Ride Height??? And Were They Stiff??? Because My Springs Are Really Bad My Cars Rear Drops So Much When I Launch The Car...

 

icice9 how much did your car lower

 

it lowered the car about an inch.. and yes it did stiffen up the ride.. ive been very happy with them.. and i just recently bought another set for my 280ZXT project..
heres some pics of my car and how it sits with my new wheels

 

Thanks icice9 Ill Go Ahead And Order These For My Z Ohh By The Way What Size Are Your Rims????

 

front= 17" x 9" in the front and rear= 17 x 9.5"

 

Ait The Thanks I Just Ordered the Springs Thanks icice9!!!!

 

Your Z is sick ice, those wheels make it seriously mean!

 

You should order the whole HPK255 package which includes the springs AND the struts...

 

I've seen Ice's Z in person. It is pretty damn sweet.

 

I Already Have new Shock If I Would Have Known I Was Gonna Need New Springs I Woulda Bought The Whole Package..

 

what struts did you buy?? they might not last as long with the lowered springs...

 

I Bought These Shocks.

those are the same ones sold in the kit.. those will be fine..

 

I'm late responding, but the Suspension Technique springs will lower your car about 1.2". I've had them on my Z for about 6 or more years now, and they work fine for street driving. If you plan to do more aggressive driving like racing on a track, I'd recommend a full blown coilover set because the springs are too soft for that. Anyway, either Tokicos or ST will be fine for your Z.

BTW, Ice, your Z looks sweet with the new wheels!

 

Did You Use Your Stock Shocks With Those Springs And Where They Stiff????

 

I used the Tokico "blue" shocks like most everyone else did with the ST springs. I'm not sure if the stock shocks would be able to handle the stiffer rates for very long before losing their effectiveness. The ride is stiffer than stock and I don't get as much squat when launching off the line, but I wouldn't call it racecar stiff, especially compared to some coilover equipped S13 and S14 cars I've ridden in.

The only time I notice the ride being harsh is over expansion joints, or uneven pavement (which is quite often on the I-5 freeway here in California). But on normal city roads, it's fine. Use the urethane bump stops if you don't want the bottoming out to be super harsh.

 

Yeah I Bought Those Shocks.. haha Funny Thing I was Just On I-5 And My Car Broke Down In Oceanside... My Crank Pulley Fell Of On The Freeway....

 

Yo icice do u have the hp's or illuminas?

 

HP's. I don't think they make illuminas for our car anymore

 

Really? I'm going to have to look into it. It's about to time to upgrade my suspension.

 

I'm going to poke in on this thread, Ice, you have a friggin sweet ride.
