From the Suspension Guru:
So that things can be clearly understood and this comes from me actually running many different combination's on my car (these are just a few).
03/04 oem 350Z springs on oem sedan sport shocks
Pro: nice 1" linear spring drop with spring rates that are the same as oem sedan sport springs. Shocks felt about the same to me with this combo.
Con: With the shocks feeling the same, I have room to suggest that you might want to kick things up a notch with Tokico D-specs. But AGAIN, this setup did not outright speak to me that you had to upgrade the shocks.
04.5 to 06 oem 350Z springs on oem sedan sport shocks.
Pro: same 1" drop on linear springs. +27% higher rear spring rate does offer less rear suspension squat on full throttle application's and without any other setup changes the higher rear rate does give the car a more lively feeling around town (really anytime cornering speeds are 45mph or less).
Con: insuffecient rear shock dampning to deal with the 27% increase in rear spring rate. I found too many instances where the rear shocks allow things to happen because they didn't have enough control. A lower threshold to forgiving throttle imputs closer to the limits of adheasion, also you have to wait longer comming out of a corner before you can start squeezing the throttle (can also say that when VDC is on, it activates more often).
04.5+ to 06 oem 350Z springs front sedan sport shocks rear revised 04.5+ oem 350Z shocks.
Con: Too much stiffness on the whole on the rear of the car, not recommended. (would be fine with revised Z shocks at all 4 corners)
I have also driven in two sedan's with 03/04 coupe springs with D-specs and 03 Z springs and D-specs.

let me know if you are willing to ship them...
all you need is a box to fit them in. since springs are pretty durable so i think all you need are some used, ready to be thrown away clothes to wrap them...

^- Will do...Well I wanna package it right as of right now I have a box that my coilovers came in but I threw away the outter package, (big mistake on my part!) I would rather have one inner box and one outter so I know it stays together. And definitely need bubble wrap on the inside or some protection from damaging shocks and/or springs...Iono how a buyer would feel about opening up a box with some strangers clothes in there XD But I know what you mean haha.

^- Oh I thought you wanted the whole thing... I'd need to find a buyer for the shocks also if I were to part this out. But yes it would be 50 plus shipping.

Like I said guys I'm not shipping yet, but if I do the priority is in this order b/c of interesting in the full suspension package:

I'm going to let this sit for a 2-3 weeks and if it's not sold locally I will be contacting you all in that order.
