Hey everyone
I've got a 2005 350z that I'm doing some suspension work on. The owner of this car has a bad back. He bought this 350 and the previous owner had done a lot of suspension work on it lowering it approx 2-3 inches. New owner wants to return this to it's stock ride height as inexpensively as possible. I'm looking for advice on suspension for all 4 corners of this car. Sadly it isn't going to be driven "the way it should be"...

Any advice on inexpensive setup that'll bring this car back to its original stance?

Thx

 

Make an assessment of what's on the car now. 2-3" drop probably means it has coilovers. Depending on what type, you can either sell them or offer to trade them for a complete stock setup of shocks and springs. You should have no trouble trading out because every kid with a Z wants those "magic do-all coilovers".

That said, however, I would NEVER install a set of used, unknown shocks. OEM shocks may give you a service life of 50-75k at most. Beyond that, pogo stick. Given that, a set of "OEM" equivalent shocks don't cost too much... maybe $250 for a set of KYBs.
