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.

will they fit/work on 05 coupes?

Thank you RADIOGUY21, one more question. Did you do this on your car ???

yes my car is dropped on 350Z front and unrevised coupe rear springs. I kept my OEM sport 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.

[ConradoR]

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.

crap.. yet another 350z spring post without any pics. Everyone always says "use search" but i havent found any coupes with oem 350z springs yet!

[HenryLee]

I had them on mine. Dropped the front to match the rears. I have a set of 07 revised 350z springs for sale. Let me know if anyone is interested. The revised springs are a perfect choice bc they have the higher spring ratings and make the springs stiffer.

You guys made me find my old school pictures. The pics are when I had 350z springs. Notice the drop mostly in the front, evens out the car. Significantly Reduces the stock front gap. Requires no camber kits and gets your car back in OEM alignment. PM if your interested.

I have an 04 coupe dropped on 03 350z springs, shocks, and struts.

Front wheels have a PERFECT drop, I don't think I'd want to go any lower. The rear is still a little high for me though.

Everyone says don't get 03 springs because they aren't revised but I didn't feel any problems. My car is much stiffer and much quicker and responsive when turning.

Unfortunately I do not have any pics that really show off the drop but the day I brought my car home, my boy who has an e46 m3 noticed it as I was driving by his house. The drop is VERY noticeable in person.

Here are a few pics:

That's why a lot of guys do the springmount mod, to bring that rear down a little and even out the gap. Look at the rear gap on Henry's car; it's a perfect candidate and AFAIK it's not a difficult mod.
