OK, so I've decided on lowering springs to drop my G35 Coupe, I just wanted to get some input into which you would recommend for a lower drop height.

Eibach's website claims a 1.6" drop in the front and a 1.4" drop in the rear for the G35 Coupe Sportline springs on a G35 Coupe, and a 1.2" drop in the front and rear for the 350Z Sportline springs on a 350Z.

I know in the master suspension thread it says to expect a .5" drop over advertised when putting 350Z springs on a G35 Coupe, so I guess I just want to confirm I'll be getting a greater drop from using 350Z Sportline springs over the G35 ones, because if my calculations are correct I would be dropped 1.7" front and rear with the 350Z springs, no? Anyone with experience in the matter that can provide input? It would be greatly appreciated before I pull the pin on this deal.

Thanks!

Wow, same exact post only a minute apart, you guys are coordinated. Alright, I guess I got my answer, thanks guys.

 

350z springs will drop a coupe 0.5" lower than it would a Z (and 1" lower for a Sedan). So for you it would be 1.7" F/R (Z) vs. 1.6"/1.4" (Coupe).

 

I'm loving my z sportlines! The drop is beautiful, fenders will need rolling in the back tho...they are way stiffer than my G stechs....

 

That's what I figured, just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something, will be nice having an even drop too, don't like that they lower the front more than the rear for the coupe springs.
Any pics?

Alright, sorry to revive this but I have another question, possibly a dumb one, but I know its recommended that you let the springs settle for about a week before you take the car in for an alignment, my question to you guys is do you need to be driving the car during that week? Or can you just let the car sit parked and the spring will settle? Only reason I ask is because I mostly ride my quarter liter or the bus to and from work or wherever and the G might get only one or two trips during a weeks time. Thanks again!

 

In this thread,people are saying Z springs are 1.7 all around and will be even..But now peple are claiming over 2 and possible 3 inches with same springs..what gives...
