Another G sedan with 350z suspension *PIX*

That's what I've been able to find as well. Z in the front, Coupe in the rear. I think that's what 6MTWannabe has (see attached pic).

anyone have any negative expierences such as rubbing or hitting the bump stops (hard) with the unrevised 350Z springs on a G35 sedan? I have a 2005 with the sport suspension and 18" wheels with 235/45R tires. I just picked up a set of unrevised 2004 350Z springs. I am planning on keeping my sport struts/shocks and 18" wheels. I know the 350Z springs are same spring rate as my current springs so it shouldnt prematurely wear my struts and shocks correct?
Also an alignment is recommended after a couple of weeks of settling correct?

Just dropped my 06 x this weekend.
Pics have rims and tires in the back so its a bit lower in the pics than it sits without them in there obviously. Took a bit to figure out that you need to jack the whole front on the x to get the struts out. Once we got that, we made good progress and only had to adjust the passenger side hat 4 times to get it aligned properly.
These are unrevised springs, I am debating in the future either going to coupe rears or stech fronts to even it out. Long term will be coilovers if they get made for the x.

I am going with a set of unrevised z springs on my stock x shocks/struts I am told it will drop around an inch around, only concern is that smaller wheel well in the rear makes it look lower so some people put coupe rear springs there to drop it less.
Unrevised springs are 2 red dots 1 purple dot, and are from 04 and previous.
Hope it helps, its amazing how much info was lacking for the X

I recently lowered my 05 sedan on 350Z front and g35 coupe rear springs using my factory sport struts/shocks. Car sits flawless all around with 2 finger wheel gap, I love it! Also purchased Stillen sways set to medium/medium for now. Im rolling on the factory sport 18s with 235/45R Potenzas. I can definitely feel the car handling alot better and is flatter in turns.
I got an alignment after two weeks of the drop. I think I need a camber kit for the front, what do you all think of the results? I told them to try and get as close to stock specs as possible

yeah, I absolutely love the Z/Coupe setup. I could maybe do with another .25-.5" drop in front, but I'm not complaining at all. I can definitely see the difference in camber in the back especially, but my alignments have been pretty close to spec and the tires .almost. wear evenly. it's not enough to bother me. I'm honestly a little afraid to get a camber kit and lose a little responsiveness with less camber.
the day I bought it.
front shot after springs
rear shot after springs and debadging

Also, when was that full Z shot taken? If it was within the first couple weeks of installation, the springs may not have settled completely. My shots were taken months after installation.
Admittedly, with shadows and such, it's a little difficult to see well in that full Z shot.
