I think the difference is attributed to the front fender arch being cut higher.

Yeah. I think that is what vrsc is looking to get info on. We spoke briefly about it over the weekend and from what I gathered it will take a combo of different springs. What I am wonder is if it looks even would the car actually be slightly jacked up and if so how so that impact roll and such.

I am hardly the consumate authority on this subject though. I am hoping to learn a little more about this subject in here and put it to use soon.

Or lower the rear less. 03-04 Z springs lower the front approx. 1 inch and the rear approx. 7/8. You can go with the revised springs, or the z/coupe combo, or a spring spacer in the back (what I did).

revised springs would be even things out? by that you mean z 04.5-06 correct?


my direct question is: What EXACT setup do i need for my car to look perfect with 19" rims. 06 z front and back? Or?

the reason i went with 03 coupe/z springs was it was an even drop and the spring rates are the same then if i went with 05 z springs it would be firmer and i didnt really want that chance of bounce.

so 03-04 350z springs and struts would be the best choice for me, correct? thats exactly what you have.

WOuld the guru's mind providing me with a little advice for my 05 with sport suspension.

I have the eibach pro on the way now but I am having second thoughts because I do not want to have to tune the entire suspesion sysem out.

What z and or coupe combo would you suggest for my car.

Thank you in advance,

So for my 2005 sedan Non sport suspension, I am looking to get some revised 350Z springs (z 04.5-06), shocks and struts. If I go this route it should lower my sedan 1inch evenly on all 4 corners and still give me a better (firmer) OEM ride. Is it important to which model 350Z I get these from (Touring etc.)??

Please assist with advice on this set up and Thanks for the info
