Default dumb noob question

I really want to drop my car and I might come across some dropzone springs for cheap, but they are for a g35, I know the parts are interchangeable but will the springs drop the car the same? Or will it be a little higher cuz its for a g35?

How about don't do it, If I was in the same situation as u then I wouldn't do that.

Please don't ask me why...

Buy quality parts for your car, and most importantly, buy parts specifically made for your car.

And always keep in mind: aftermarket mods; you get what you pay for.

Think of all of the people with G35s that use 350Z springs. I believe some after compaines use the same springs for the Z and G anyway, the drop will just be bigger on a G35. I'd call the manufacturer and see if they use the same springs for the G35.

Was not making fun...

Was just saying it's not recommended, but it doesn't mean it can't be done...

If you want a really big drop go with Eibach Sportlines they have just about the largest drop of springs available for the Z. They'll settle at about 1.5-1.75''. You can get on for about $250.

True, the camber kit is a must with sportlines. Eibach/SPC kit will get the job done with no problem.
