Need Help! 05+ Sport Suspension Sits HIGHER than 03-04???

I have an 05 sport suspension w/19s.... I noticed that the ones without the sport suspension w/ 18s sit lower. Why is that?

I tried to search this but I could not find anything on it.

If I wanted it to be a little bit lowered which I think the 18s suspension is perfect, What should I do? I dont want to buy some springs and have to buy cambers and what not on top of buying the springs.

Thanks for the help!!

I noticed that too when I see my neighbor's 04. I think maybe the wheel and tire sizes. If you really want to have it "look" lower comparing to the 04 w/ 18", go with G35 Tein H-Tech springs not 350Z H-Tech.

When the 2005 sport suspension was introduced I went to the dealer to drive a coupe equipped with it to see how it differed vs the non sport suspension. Along with me, I brought a tape measure. No differance in height between the sport suspended coupe and any other non sport on the lot, 2005 or 2004.

Will I have any issues if I do get G35 htech as far as tires wearing out or camber issues??? I do not want to spend more on buying the springs and buying more add ons to avoid issues...

not really, because it's a VERY subtle drop. But, those springs arent as stiff as the oem sports springs.

Don't get the G35 H-Techs. As the guy above said, they rear springs are softer then OEM.

Get 350Z H-Techs.

it has to be just the different tire sizes because the springs are niether higher or lower... 05 just got stiffer springs...

Go with 350z H-techs or you can also maybe just cut the springmounts
