it will drop the coupe about 1/2" all around. Ride quality should be about the same...just lower. On the sedan Z springs drop us about 1" around and the ride is great. 03-04 350Z uses same spring rates as 03-04 coupe, so you can use your OEM struts/shocks.

Is the 1/2" drop mentioned by RadioGuy21 on an early G on stock 18s with unrevised 350Z springs even noticiable?

Tried the Search button... but couldn't find any pics Does anyone know where I could find some before/after?
Thanks!!

^^ Pretty sure RBull's coupe is on Z's, with the 'springmount mod'. You may want to look into that, too.

Yeah but the Springmount mod will only lower coupes I think 1/2" on the rear.... If the Z springs lower it 1/2" all around, the extra drop for the coupe rear is not really what I'm looking for...

The front gap is what pisses me off

Thanks for the suggestion though!

then maybe just swap in Z front springs? The sedan is the same way, the front sits alot higher than the rear...thats way some have gone with G coupe rear springs over the Z to keep the car even all around.
