sedan spring question

I read through the faqs and checked out some of the pics people posted of there G's freshly dropped...My question is when ordering the springs like the H or S techs as so many have on here, did you order for coupe or 350z springs. If anyone can pm me or post a pic explaining which springs you used so I can see the look i'm going for. I know z's drop 1'' more and coupe .5" I just dont want to make the mistake of going to low.

You gotta keep reading. The answer is out there. Check out the Tech section and use the Search feature. I don't know the answer or I'd tell you, but I've read quite a bit on suspension drops, and I'm certain this has been covered.

BTW, how's the Rose City? I lived there for 9 years and still miss it. I miss Mt. Hood, Adams, the Coast, Cascade Golden Ale (hell, all of Deschutes beers), Coffee People, Mt. Tabor (lived in SE), the Gorge especially. Don't know if you've done any hiking there, but check out Angels Rest if you get the chance. 4.4 miles, 1500 vertical and only 30 minutes from downtown. I've hiked it over 100 times and it never got old.

I got mine just lowered on 350Z springs and I'm happy with them. I bought them for $50 off a guy who took them off his 2003. It lowered my sedan about 1.5" and it drives still very smoothly...pm me and I'll send you some pictures...

You should be ordering for the Sedan????

If you order for the coupe, the drop will be approx .5" lower than advertised. If for the Z, it will be 1" more.

Not be confused with actually using Z or coupe oem springs.

It will be different is you are ordering Teins vs. actual stock springs for the Z. I am not sure if Vic is referring to Teins or just stock Z's. Mine is lowered on unrevised stock springs.

Another thing to take into consideration is what type of sedan you have. Ie, I have a sport, therefore my stock suspension is already tighter and a little lower than the non-Sport. Then I changed my setup to the Z's, I only used the springs on the front, but changed the whole setup for the rear. I have noticed a little change in the ride and handling, as the Z's are a little softer than the Sport.

I would imagine you will get a good drop off the Z Teins, but if you want to be sure its not too low maybe a better idea to go with the coupe. As previously stated I'm sure the answer is out there. Check the tech sections.
