Does anyone have a picture comparison between wheel wells with stock springs and wheel wells with aftermarket springs?

I don't understand.

Inside, behind the wheels. Ive seen Z's with stock suspension and some seem to sit higher than mine. I tried looking at the rear springs but they're dusty and I cant see if they have company markings on them.

What are you trying to figure out?

CannMann21

Whether I have stock springs on right now or not . I am about to buy some springs, just want to make sure before I pull the trigger.

Gotcha'. OEM springs should be black with colored dots on them (different color dots represent what version spring they are). Off the top of my head, the only black aftermarket spring I can think of is the Eibach Pro Kit which should have the Eibach logo and part number on them somewhere. Otherwise, if they are any color besides black they are aftermarket. The only real way to know is to get in there and wipe them off.

Alright, so I tried wiping them down through the wheels but couldn't find any company logos or red dots. So I went to the rear of the car under the exhaust and peeked my head there with a flashlight...found one red dot on the drivers side and one on the passengers side. Oh and they are black in color.

Sooo, OEM right?

Google Image "350Z OEM springs," you'll see what i mean. Sounds like OEM.

CannMann21

Yeah I did. Seems they all have 2 red dots though...I only saw one...but it was a tight angle and I wasn't able to clean the whole spring. It's gotta be OEM though.

Thanks for the help Advan!

Just take a picture of car so we can see the height and then we can tell you...

A photo would be very helpful of both your suspension components and of your Z on an even road surface
