My 2003 350z is bouncy as sh|t i cant stand it. i want to put on 20s but if i do that the max i should be able to go down is an inch. Now is it possible put on a suspension from a newer 350? or must i go after market?

 

of course you searched before posting this question right? You read one of the thousands of suspension threads and got almost all the answers you were looking for except this one right?

Im not trying to be an ***. this is a very helpful forum but you will find that if you dont try to help yourself first (by searching and reading the forum) that people are going to be less than reluctant to help you. Most likely the mods will also close your thread since you didnt search and posted a topic that has been covered many many times before.

 

Because??? Yes I did search but I couldnt find anything that answered my question.
Seems to me you trying to be an *** and saying your not trying to be an *** may make you feel better at night but that doesnt mean im not going to think your being and *** because you are.

Im sure everything that is posted here was posted once before. If we didnt post something that was posted before there wouldnt be nothing to post.

And I am still looking for this post that has exhaust sounds that I hear about but I still cant find that.

 

whatever man, now I know you didnt search

 

to answer your question, to get rid of your bouciness yes you have to go aftermarket. that is the only route. as for what one to go with, i agree you should search since there is a entire section dedicated to suspension upgrades and many membbers have posted their results with using various combinations as to what works and what does not.

Thank you for pointing me in the right direction.. Does anyone have the link to the exhaust thread? I didnt look back to march because i wanted to know mostly about the tokico.

 

Not entirely true. I swapped over my 03 springs and shocks for an 06 revised setup yesterday. Similar road feel, but the bounciness I was getting driving on my craptacular New England roads has subsided greatly from the suspension revision.

 

i would like to eliminate it completly its kinda cool tho when chicks are in the car because their ******* are constantly bouncing

 

i rather get tannabe GF104

 

From what I can find
Stock =

Front:314 Rear:342

Tokico =

Tokico D-spec shock & spring package
350Z - DSK512 - 375f/375r - Linear Springs 1"/1.5"

Is it worth 600? Will I notice a difference? Has anybody used them? I will be Pairing it up with hotchkis Sways front and rear. I would like more handling but I really want the bounciness eliminated... Is it a good choice?

 

I'd get some Hotchkis springs and Koni yellow sport shocks. They did the trick for me, adjustable and less than an inch of drop.

 

First of all, the springs are NOT the cause of the 03/04 350Z's bounce and porposing behavior. The shocks are to blame. A lot of compression dampning and not enough rebound control. Most lowering springs on the market were R&D's with 03/04 oem shocks in mind. Some manufactuers gave it more effort then other's to bandaid things by massaging their springs in a effort to lesson or wishfully cure the bounce/porposing behavoir. Meaning some springs do reduce the bad behavior more then others, but none will totally eliminate it.

Nissan did eventually take matter's into their own hands. Midway into 2004 production Nissan made a running change to the suspension to address the ride and drive quality of the 03/04 supension. The shocks were changed to one's that had less compression dampning and more rebound control. Rear spring rates were upped 25% from 342 to 427 and the front sway bar was stiffened by 17% via thicker wall's in it's hollow construction.

IMO the best cure for a 03/04 owner that has had enough of the bounce and porposing is either Koni SA Yellows or Tokico D-spec shocks.

 

+1

 

+1,

Well if you did search you would have found this gem of a thread and Gsedan35 doesn't have to explain himself all over again:

it's also got ALOT to do with your tire choice as well - that is what actually dictates at what point the spring starts working

Tires with a very stiff sidewall can make even a soft spring ride like crap, and tires with a soft sidewall can make stiff springs still feel floaty - the trick is getting a happy medium

 

Thanks you that is exactly what i was looking for... thanks for your time...

 

Tokico springs are not $600. Go to any vendor on the site. They should be around $200.

 

He was referring to a Tokico shock and spring package, in which case $600 or more sounds about right.

 

That's true. 600 is a legitimate deal if its the full set.

 

How much for just the shocks?
