How to Tell if 350z Springs are Revised?

I'm buying some 350z springs to drop my 2006 6MT coupe 1/2". They are off of an 2005 350z so I believe these are revised springs... When I pick them up is there anyway for me to confirm that they are revised springs?

Thanks!

Thanks guys!

The rears the guy brough had a white dot... I looked it up and the white dot looks like it's from unrevised springs... Thanks for saving me from wasting a few dollars!

I've got a set of fronts with a pink dot and an orange dot. They were listed as revised as well.

Edit: Also, stock G rears have the same paint markings as revised 350z springs.

According to this thread...

https://g35driver.com/forums/brakes-...on-pix-15.html

Page 10 shows color markings. It seems the fronts were not revised?

Still looking for what white/greens means on Coupes.

Also, I have 2 red/1blue dot springs on the rear now (supposedly revised 2007-2008) but they're softer than stock Coupe, tho they SHOULD be the same. I think they're unrevised due to the ride.

In speaking with Leonard at Swift Springs, he too feels that the Z front springs were revised as well, as he recalls they were softer in the earlier models.

He also stated that the 350GT had softer springs than the G Coupe's Sport springs.

Revised? How so?

All data says that Z's and Coupes only had 1 spring. 314 lbs./in. spring rate.

What was revised about it?

Oem linear springs
G35 coupes with oem 17’s & 18’s
G35 sedan’s with sport suspension
350Z’s 2003/2004 (unrevised)
Front:314 Rear:342

Oem linear springs
G35 sedan's with non sport
Front: 283 Rear: 308

Oem linear springs
G35 coupes 2005/2006 with oem 19’s only
350Z 2004.5 to 2008 (revised suspension)
Front:314 Rear:427

Why revise it if nothing changes?
