Default 350z Suspension

Will a Z suspension lower the G any? Anyone have this mod? Is it just a waste of time?

will z springs fit on the g35 coupe?? Cause I want to get tien springs but I want it to be more than a 1.5" drop... Also, if they do I could swap my springs for my old factory z springs. That would be a cheap way to lower it becuase I allready have them.

the z and g suspension are interchangeable, but heed the warning of other z drivers. the z suspension is much more aggressive than the g. which will give u not the most comfortable of all rides. some z drivers are using the stock g struts and shocks with the combination of aftermarket springs.

Be careful with dropping your car over 1.5". We don't have adjustable front camber so your tires may end up wearing excessively.

I have the 350Z suspension on my sedan.

The 350Z suspension will lower the sedan approx. 1" front and 1 1/8" rear, it does not lower the sedan more than that.

Z springs are the same springs used on the G35 coupe. The shock valving on the Z shocks are a lot firmer/tighter. The Z suspension theirfore will not lower the couple, but would change the way the car behaves to a large degree, but their are serious bounce issues if you were to run a z suspension on any G all the complaining that the Z guys do on the suspension having bounce, applies to the G, the longer wheelbase does zipo to smooth out ANYTHING. I only put up with the ride because the setup improved the handling rather dramatically and let's face it, unloved oem setups do NOT command high prices, I only paid $150 shipped for my 03 Z suspension. 2004 Z's built after 11/30/04 use a revised suspension setup that improves ride quality, expect to pay more for such a setup.

BTW, sway bars are the same between all G models and all Z models.
