350z springs or Eibach

What other options work good. I want to keep a good ride and do not want to spend over $500. I guess my question is ...... would you buy the Eibach or the 350z springs & strut assembly also what would be the difference between the two??

Ask Wannabe6MT (actually just go read his threads, he went from G/Z springs to Eibach coupes, not liking it too much)

I too was deciding between Eibach or Z springs, I went with the Eibach Prokit and could not be happier. These things have proper spring rates and really firm up the car, difference was night and day.

I had revised Z struts/springs on mine before I went with eibach sportlines and I really can't say enough good things about how that Z setup rode.

Z springs will have a less of a drop than the eibach. Z springs will be more comfy but the ride quality of the eibachs aren't bad.

Up to you on what you want.

z springs all the way

Ditto on 350Z springs. I put a set all around and love it. Ride comfort is almost the same as original springs and still clear most curbs and speedbumps. Make sure you match springs to shocks, as 350Z suspension changed in 05 or 06

What is the difference between the revised Z setup? Do I want the revised on an 03.5 sedan and why?

^Uh, well sorta... revised springs are From 2004.5 and newer 350Zs. So an 04 can either be revised or unrevised, depending on how new it is. I don't know the build month that they switched over, but I'm going to have my cousin check the build date on his 04.5 to maybe give a little bit of an idea.

^Yeah, I noticed lol.
Just search around for the differences between revised and unrevised. Basically revised are a higher spring rate and the shocks are valved accordingly. The ride is still fine though.

Oh also, IDK about that price you asked me about because I didn't buy mine, I traded some stuff for my cousin's old suspension setup. It sounded like a decent deal, but I don't really know the market.
But if you want to post that here, I'm sure the other guys can tell you if it's a good deal or not.
