Mods, let it hang around here a bit before you move it to brakes and suspension

For 350Z springs--will drop a sedan 1" on all 4 corners.
Fronts are 314 spring rate and have 1 pink dot and 1 orange dot. Coils are tighter and most have the rubber sleeve on them.(2007-2008 models have 1 white and 1 orange dot) Tech farmer mentioned some z springs front may have only 1 pink dot z front are confusing
Rears(revised,2004.5+) are 427 spring rate and have 2 red dots and 1 purple dot.
(2007-2008 models have 2 red dots and 1 blue dot)
Rears(unrevised 2003,some 2004) are 342 spring rate and have 2 red dots and 1 white dot.(1 white dot)

I believe the above to be accurate, if not feel free to chime in.
(mouse over the name of pic, to see what you're looking at)
Hopefully this helps with sedan owners configuring a front z spring and rear coupe spring set up.
Spring rate reference from sticky:
Oem linear springs
G35 coupes with oem 17’s & 18’s
G35 sedan’s with sport suspension
350Z’s 2003/2004
Front:314 Rear:342
Oem linear springs
G35 sedan's with non sport
Front: 283 Rear: 308
Oem linear springs
G35 coupes 2005/2006 with oem 19’s only
350Z 2004.5 to 2008
Front:314 Rear:427

I put revised Z springs and shocks and struts on my car and it sits perfectly for me.
I tried to do the exact same thing on my girls G35x and her springs had a green and white dot on the fronts and two red dots on the rears.
her car lowered about the same maybe a tad more in the rear than mine did but her front doesn't look like it came down at all ????? Pisses me off and it had to be the PITA to put on fronts that needs to be redone......
any suggestions ?
also I think the rear of her car doesn't ride a harsh as mine does. I don't understand what the numbers on the spring rates mean

I just bought some "coupe springs" from the marketplace, but they are the exact same size as my oem g35x springs. Same size; same dots (2 yellow/front; 2 yellow,1 pink/rear.) Bought them from a guy with an x...
Do they look identical or did I get screwed?
