Also this is the same process even if you chose not to source an additional suspension, you just have to do the additional work of removing the installed factory assemblies which you can find guides on the other DIY's. I found my extra suspension locally and cheap so I felt it was worth the price given the benefit I feel it provides. Now if I ever choose to go back to stock, my stock suspension is already assembled and it’s just a matter of swapping them out.

Please point out any corrections you think I need as I put this together from memory. Also seek out the torque specs from your FSM or from some of the other DIY’s.

The primary reason I did not install the new suspension is because I’m sure I will need some additional camber correction aids and I also will have to do the rear extension adjustment mod so I didn’t want to rush it all into one day.

I put this together also for the fact that I was kind of using a hodgbodge of parts. In my research I could not find a clear answer as to which suspension I should source the parts from, 350Z or G35 coupe? I came across the local suspension and chose to give it a shot. Clearly the G35 coupe suspension pieces bolted correctly to the 350Z tokico/tein setup. I did not have to modify a single piece to make this work. Also if you wish, if you bought a 350Z tokico setup, I suppose you should be able to use an OEM 350Z suspension to source the parts as well. It would appear that the 350Z/G35 suspension mounting components work both ways.

I hope this clears some things up for those who may have went down this path. As for what I expect my height to be, I have no clue. I have not torqued down my tokico setup yet, once I do that and have the OEM pieces removed i will compare them to see what difference I have vs the 350Z aftermarket stuff. I will also take a before and after ride height once everything is installed and aligned.
