The concise post on OEM 350z springs, pls help.

Have searched a bunch but a whole bunch of mixed info, can I get some answers to the following.

1) Difference b/w revised and unrevised? (Is it just the year?)

2) How much drop for coupe on revised and unrevised?

3) Does a coupe need to replace shocks, struts or need camber if just swapping in OEM 350z springs?

4) I have a 2003 G35.C 6MT, which springs are best for my car?

Thanks a lot, sorry if it's a repost but I think this will help others with all the info in one place.

Now because I know for some reason searching doesn't work that well:

1) They have different spring rates (Can be found in the sticky in the Suspension section)

2) .5 inch drop on both

3) No camber needed. If you go unrevised, no shocks needed. If you go revised, you need shocks to handle the higher spring rate

4) You want unrevised to match your stock spring rates.

I actually have the revised 350z springs on my 06 g35c.. They give a noticable drop in the front but not soo much in the rear.. I would recommend getting tein 350z H Techs.. But 350z is nice if your looking for minimal drop..

Thanks for the change of heart and answers, so revised and unrevised dont drop any more or less just different spring rate?

I don't mind a minimal drop just want to keep same ride quality without spending on shocks/struts.

For 350z H Techs, do you need shocks/struts? Ride quality?

saw that sticky but doesn't really answer my questions

For 350z H Techs, do you need new shocks/struts? Ride quality compared to OEM?

That sticky tells you everything about spring rates and drops.

For the 350Z H-Techs, you don't need new shocks. However, you will notice a better ride with Tokoco D-Specs and adjustable swaybars.
