G35 Sedan and 350Z stock suspension... whats the deal?

Just recently joing the forum, and can't get the search function to work for some reason.

Who can tell me what putting the stock Z suspension will do for my Gsedan? I'd like to know what it does for ride height and ride quality... My other car has a full coilover suspension with adjustable camber, etc... So keeping the G comfortable is something I would like to maintain.

So if anyone has some opinions or information regarding the installation (like if there's any qwerks of the installation) Please let me know.

-Kevin

You will drop the sedan 1' on a oem 350Z suspension.

Their are two compleatly different oem 350Z suspension's. One is the original suspension that came with the car when it was introduced. That original setup has the vice of excess suspension bounce on less then smooth pavement and porposing movement's on the freeway. I had this setup and have since sold it. The other oem 350Z suspension is the revised setup. Nissan revised the oem 350Z suspension to improve the ride quality (bounce and porposing), it features different shocks and stiffer rear springs. In the persuit of a oem Z suspension, you will have to get the seller to pm you the part number off the shocks he's selling so you make certain your buying a revised setup.

Since you mention comfort, at all cost's avoid a unrevised oem Z suspension. And IMO, you really need to go drive a new Z to make certain that the revised suspension has the ride motion's your after. I have to say, you may be best served by oem Z springs with Tokico D-specs. The Tein CS coilover system also come's to mind too.

Just to say it, you cannot adjust camber via upper shock mounts on these cars.
