As cheap as springs are, why the hell would you want to "Honda-ize" you G with cut springs? If you can afford Tokico's, you can afford springs. Look in the Marketplace.

Do it right.

my friend told me coilovers and springs with shocks is almost the same thing, the only difference is that you could adjust the coilovers height and on spring with shocks you cant, but i dont care about adjusting the height on them because ones im drop i dont think i want to go back to stock or something.

If your not looking to go that low, look for a set of OEM 350z springs.

Are they G or Z springs? Z springs will get more of a drop on a sedan.

Wait...exactly how much lower did you wanna go?

If you were so **** about being slammed you should of got 350Z springs or coilovers. I bought sedan Stechs as well, can't wait to install them, just need to paint my sideskirts first and money for tokiko hp shocks and labor
