it also depends on if the Z shocks are rated to handle the Eibach spring rates. I'll "guess" it's okay. But it would be best to research the spring rates and see how that stack up against the revised Z spring rates.

It's probably in the stickies

The question is confusing. He has Eibach prokit springs and he wants to know how low revised 350z springs and shocks will drop an 03?... 1 inch drop overall with 350z suspension slightly more of a drop in the front with Eibach pro kits I've had both suspension setups and I prefer my 350z setup.

He only said Z struts/shocks but yeah, I had to read that twice.

My only worries were because I know swapping out my suspension for all stock 350z components would give me about 1/2 inch drop but I do not know if that is because of the springs or the shocks. I am thinking that because the eibachs are supposed to drop a Z 1.1 inches that it might drop my car much more than expected.

Look at my Cardomain page. I have unrevised springs and Dspecs. Its perfect for a sedan but not slammed by any means. I got my springs for 55 dollars shipped.

Shocks don't lower cars. Springs do. The eibachs will lower 1.1" no matter what shocks you use.

Okay thanks for the input I just did not want to make a dumb move and buy something that would ruin the drivability of my car.

Wait a minute. Are you talking about the setup for sale on my350Z?

Those are 350Z Eibach Pro-kits, not sedan Pro-kits.

Are you wanting a 2" drop?

Yea thats it I knew the drop would be more because the pro-kit is for the 350z but I didnt think it would be a full extra inch.
