350Z combo vs Sedan sport suspension combo

whats the diffrence between Z spring/shock combo vs the sport suspension sedan spring/shock combo installed on base 2003 SEDAN.

I know z spring drops about 1" on sedan and coupe spring drops .5"... but how about sport suspension?

I did a search but it didnt give me clear answer on diffrence between z combo vs sport suspension combo to sedan, only on z combo vs coup combo. TYVM

It really doesn't matter depends on what's available if you can find revised springs and shocks then go for them if you can't and all that is available is the unrevised springs or G35 coupe rear springs then you can use those. The key is to make sure you pair the right springs with the right shocks. Does that answer your question?

The Z rear shock is about 1/2" shorter IIRC compared to a G rear shock. Also they are valved differently.

Revised Z springs have a higher rear spring rate than the sedan sports suspension. As a result, if you go with a revised setup the ride will be more stiff but may handle better. The decision is a trade-off, it is up to the individual owner. Plus, a combo will be more expensive than just buying springs.

The thing you do not want to do is go with unrevised Z shocks. They are the reason the suspension was "revised" to begin with. They reportedly had a big problem with bounciness.

so Z revised springs upfront and coupe in the rear correct? If so we still have no shocks out yet? all i see are the tokico ones and i couldnt find any info about them. Also are the shocks different for teh 350/35c? Like i was thinking of Z shocks/struts up front and 35c springs inthe rear.
