H&r Springs
im putting these on an 03 g35 sedan ..
these are lowering springs..
first off their h&r springs (#53050) made for a 350z ...
lowers a 350z 03-and up
1.3 front 1.0 rear
now im not sure if its a good idea to just mount them on with the stock struts on my g35 sedan..
i hear its ok .. to use them on stock shocks
&
i hear it will kill your stock shocks in a few months
if i were to replace the stock shocks ..
i was thinking of koni yellows
or billsteins
i was told to just use the stock 350z shocks
or should i use aftermarket oem 350z shocks .??
what to do what to do ..
wait till i get new struts
or
go for it and replace stock springs out ..
and which would be better .??
help me out guys ...

Re: H&R springs
I've had the H&R springs on my 350Z for about a year and i have no complaints at all. My shocks look and feel fine. THe springs r pretty good too. THey r softer than some of the other springs out there but i quite like that as the ride is not very hard.
I'd recommend them but that's based on experience with a 350z.

^ Isn't this your thread on G35driver?
Point blank, your going get people that will tell you to do a lot of things who don't know what is really going on or have grown accustomed to doing things in a half as*ed way where they are used to the medicore results they gain from that. Unless you really don't care, it's a great platform, you deserve better.
350Z owner's are not going to know that your oem sedan shocks are not as stiff as oem Z shocks. They aren't going to know that your the same shocks have 3/4" taller body/piston rod lengths vs oem Z shocks and already tight piston stroke travel ranges are going to be that much worse. Making the bump stops that much of a secondary spring is not what you want, it's NOT a shock longevity issue.

I BASICALLY DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO ..
BASED ON GETTING DIFFERENT INFO FROM DIFFERENT SOURCES..
SO WHAT YOUR SAYING IS .. I SHOULD NOT JUST ADD THE SPRINGS "WITHOUT" REPLACING SHOCKS/STRUTS WITH Z SHOCKS/STRUTS..??
I NEED GUIDANCE ..

Problem is, when we make compromises with our part choices doing the right thing can be difficult as in more time consuming and more expensive. IMO, I actually don't recommend drops past 1" on shock and spring setups unless you invest like I did in shocks that have shorter body and piston rod lengths.
