370z Springs on 03 350z.? Good idea ?
I have a 03 350z and want to drop my car no more than .5 of an inch and want to make them little stiffer like around the nismo range. My idea is to use factory 370z ones but not finding much info on if this can be done or even tried. If that's a no go I have looked in to both tein models and not sure I'm really sold on them. I wish h&r sold there oe sport model for are cars.

The Z34 has a shorter wheelbase than the Z33 and different spring rates for optimum ride and handling. As for lowering your '03 Z by 0.5", using Z34 springs will not help. You're better off looking at a coilover setup, than a Eibach prokit. Although it's less extreme than other Eibachs, it still drops the car by more than an inch.

Anyrate, a good set of springs and shocks will be better than cheap coils. Pretty sure there are springs that only drops .5. Cant think of any off the top of my head, but theyre out there

I did Eibach Pros last month. More coils, more planted over rough terrain. It's roughly 1", my favorite $250 mod so far.

Thank u guys for all the reply's.. I will put more info in to this. I have a custom body kit on this car that has no seams and I can't drop it more than .5 max but I want a stiffer than factory spring. It's a late 03 model so I here those are the worst for every thing. I'm going to go with bilstiens struts and shocks. Koni asks to much for them. Really I drive her hard but not on the track that much.

Different front motion ratio, won't work well. Struts are also different
