Default G35 springs on a 350z?

This may be a stupid question, however I am very new to the 350z world.
But I have a possible great deal on a set of new Tein springs. But they are for a G35 coupe.
So simply put, will these work for me?
Mine is a 03' enthusiast?

If you would have searched for "G35 Springs" by "Title" you would have seen that the springs are not meant to be swapped from a G35 due to the raised stock height of the G35 in comparison to the 350z, it would not be a good match.

I would pass on this deal and get something from our marketplace that was meant for a 350z instead

Im sorry for not using the search function. On my blackberry it makes it a little tricky to navigate through the forum... But thank you for the input. What would you guys recomend for springs? I am not racing the car at all. I am wanting to go low on my staggered 18's. Meaning minimal wheel gap...

Don't purchase G35 spec springs for your Z, it will not lower it as much. I have 350Z Tein S-Tech springs on my G and they provide a very nice drop. I cannot put my finger between the wheel and fender on the front, and can only fit one figure in-between the two on the rear.

Will they work and install yes.

To they make any sense NO!

Rear spring rate is too soft and drop specs when mounted on your car are different

Your 2003 350Z has the following oem spring rates
314/342

Tein H-tech G35 coupe
ride height vs oem if installed on a 350Z -.1“/+.2“
Spring rates in lbs 324/260

Tein S-tech G35 coupe
ride height if installed on a 350Z -.7”/-.4”
Spring rates in LBS 358/274

Ok sounds good. I will stick to the correct set up. Now have any of you used the Eibach Sportline springs?
