I'm only using the shocks, not the springs unless something changes my mind at a later date which will most likely not happen.

If you read my comments, I said I was only installing the shocks, not the springs.

Again, Thanks for the reply. I'll keep that in mind. If I do happen to set the car on lower springs, I assume from your comment it'll put more wear onto the shocks.

and if you would comprehend what i am saying (and mic), when you lower a car especially with stock shocks... it wears them out faster, there is a reason they took them off and are selling them.

but hey, balla on a budget..... do what you gotta do. i will laugh my *** off if they are worse than what you have now

She just took them off because she's installing coil overs on the car now.

After reading his comment, I was actually able to comprehend it. The shocks that she used are dead or rather will be going bad if not already soon.

I'll take the advice and buy some new OEM one's then. Sorry if it feels like I snapped at you, I had no intention of doing so.

Thanks for replying, and if I did happen to buy them and they happened to be bad I'd laugh too.

no worries, but you will prob spend more for oem shocks than better aftermarket ones

Alright so better pay the extra 50$-100$ for aftermarket one's.

I'll actually buy the one's "dkmura" suggested on eBay. The koni one's I believe. https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_fro...+350z&_sacat=0

Let me ask you if you wouldn't mind answering, Could the clunking noise I'm hearing be a bad rear differential bushing?

its possible, but i doubt it. look at the rear diff... so you see black goo coming down it from the bushing, if so it is definitely blown, they are not horrible but not fun to change out. clunking could be anything, without hearing it or seeing the car it will be next to impossible to guess.
