yes. i was thinking about same thing. Everyone talks about NF210 but I want more concervative drop.
Spec for Tein H
Drop Height (F/R): 0.8/0.6 (GS300)
Drop Height (F/R): 0.8/0.2 (GS430)
I wonder if it fits GS350 AWD and if so what would be the drop height???

I am going to go conservative. My last car was a g35 sedan that I used to take to car shows. It was slammed with 20's and I was replacing tires every 15 k. This car is going to get 20's and a mild drop iid even. On the way home today I saw a guy in a gs (3rd gen) with 20's and no drop with a staggered fittment, and I was impressed with how well it looks even with no drop. I love the ride on this car and I dont want to ruin it. although I will admit this car has ride quality to spare.

I called tein today and asked about the h tech springs and the guy on the phone was telling that the tein h tech is for the most luxurious ride while giving the most conservative drop. I think I am absolutely going with the tein springs if I drop my ride. I have a strong feeling that I will. My old G35 sedan was worked ( full exhaust, headers,intake,plenum,ecu retune, big brake kit, and full suspension -coilovers,sway bars,toe arms,front upper control arms, and complete polyurethane bushing set, 46 pc carbon fiber interior kit, and to much more to list, but you get the picture) so I am going to personalize my GS but I am going to chill the hell out. Bottom line you are dumping thousands into a depreciating item. I got burned when I turned my G in, you have to give it all up in the end and start over. Bottom line is I've done the hardcore tuner scene where you try to pull every damn pony out of your motor no matter what the cost, and in the end you will win some car shows and even get your ride onto the pages of superstreet magazines readers ride section (im very proud of that), bit you will have to realize tuning a car will always affect other areas of the car and make the car a little more problematic (tire wear,noise,vibration). This new ride is going to be a daily driver for now

I have looked at different car forums and the people who use them say that they feel almost no difference in ride quality. One guy wrote that even his wife said it feels like it rides stock. I want to conserve the ride quality. I think the stock suspension feels alittle floaty, but when i whip it around a corner the car seems capable of handling what my tuned G35 used to do. The car has more roll but it doesnt slip. It feels like it does it all. smoothe ride and solid grip. Im still 80% sure on lowereing the car, but then again Ive only had the damn thing 2 weeks and Im still babying her. My old G I used to nail the rev limiter at times, and I had the ecu retuned the push up the redline from 6400 to 7200 rpm.(Nissan VQ35 is bulletproof) The GS is to refined to drive it like that. Then again shes only 2 weeks old.

I always had an impression that coilover is for the hardcore handling junkies that even at softest setting, it's still going to be stiffer than factory ride. Am I not correct?
