Last I checked with KYB, directly, they do not make the GR2s for the 2007 model.
I bought this set (springs/shocks) used, I assume for a earlier model Z (they were off the car), advertised drop is 1" rear/1.2" front.
Maybe on the '07 it won't drop as much, nobody can tell me for sure, but I'm very happy with the way it worked out.
Regarding the alignment, the drop is at max only 1" and in the process the eccentrics were not touched, matter of fact none of the alignment points were disturbed.
Car tracks perfect, no wandering or handling issues so far.
I might have it on a rack just to verify/confirm specs.
Now, if I can only find a nice used rear wing and a TopSpeed exhaust I'd be really happy!!
Laterzzz...
>>>Many thanks for all the compliments!!

I think it looks pretty good actually. If you just street the car then I don't see why there would be any problems (if it's tracking straight). If you were going to track the car I would probably consider lowering the front. I personally like having the front sitting lower and if those springs are going to lower the car 1-1.25" it probably won't be as balanced looking. My rear wheels and tires literally look swallowed up by the rear fender flares.

Fenders rolled at
Sabal Chase
12019 SW 117th Ct.
Miami, FL 33186
(305)255-5997
Ask for Randy.
Got one small paint chip but you have to get under the car to see it, anyway I put some touch up paint and done!
They've got the tool and heated the lip but due to the amount of rolling they had to do (10.5 wheel, 285 tire & +18 offset) it was unavoidable to get a paint chip.
Charged $40 per side, also checked the alignment and brought up to specs.
I can now enjoy my ride!!

H&R sport progressive springs 350Z 1.3”/1” drop
Spring rates in LBS 370/400 (peak rates only, softer initial rates are unknown)
Your not going to be within oem alingment specs on the rack, you'll want to weigh that reality with the cost to correct, sure you'll consider how out of spec you are vs those costs. As these cars drop .8" and greater, odds of being in spec take a dive. Don't kid yourself that all is well now, get the car aligned to get things tied up as best they can, watch what they set the car too closely before they unhock it from the machine.
