Yes I "think" they can.
Buy them.
If they don't work then sell the Z and get yourself a civic.

A friend of mine bought a Godspeed sleeve kit for his Tokico shocks on his 240SX. Horrific. That's all I can say.

If you're looking to lower the car without spending a lot, just get some lowering springs and shocks. You can even do the springs now and then get the shocks later.

Check the link in my sig for info on the Tanabe springs!

Really? Do you really want to mod a cheap/crap civic part to work on a Z?

if you think a $30 Honda Civic spring will work instead of a $200 350z spring you should have got a Honda Civic in the first place

IMO walk away for one reason.

If the specs are correct, spring rates in the rear are way WAY too soft
at 250lbs. Front spring rate is supposed to be 350lbs, that's fine.


350Z oem spring rates

2003-2004.5
314/342

2005-2008
314/427
