Replaced my Springs

Changed from stock springs to unrevised '04 350Z springs.
I got a 1/2" drop, with the same spring rate, no shock change.
It took about 2 hours to do the rears and about 4 hours to do the fronts (If I had to do it again I could do it in half the time).

Jerry (maclovio) helped with the fronts. He had some spring compressors to make the job easier and big arms to do the torquing.
Thanks Jerry
Mine is the DG coupe with the black rims.

Ahh yeah, I see it now. That is not a bad drop at all, bro. What size rims are you running? 18's or 19"s? Post more pics when you can.

I have a couple pics of my own. I'll post later when I get home. And you can't really tell in the pic, but it's Really noticible in person. Really nice ride dough.
