You can put on any springs made for 350z or G35. It all depends on the look you are trying to achieve.

Oh yeah & if you're planning to drop your car over an inch you'll need camber/toe kits

BC coilovers are the right way to lower your G and still have a comfortable ride. Springs are less $$ but they don't offer adjustable ride height. No matter how you lower your ride you're going to need a SPL camber kit front and rear. That's an extra cost but you don't want to buy tires every 6 to 8 months depending on how far you drive daily. Everything you need is available on our MARKETPLACE under vendor suspension, best prices and good advice if you need it....Gary

It actually looks good as is. If you ask me, I would get springs that lower less than an inch so you won't have to spend money on camber kits. I have nismo springs in the market place if you're interested.

some 350z H Techs would be just right for your car, and you wont need any camber kits with them
just get your toe close to 0

Where do you Noobs get this line of crap?....^.... Any time we lower our cars you're going to need front and rear camber kits! Here's the test, add springs and when you get your alignment ask the mechanic how far off OE specs you are? Our cars wear out the insides of our tires when everything is perfect. The farther off specs you are the more wear you'll have. Front tires should last 30K miles, without the correct settings you can cut that in half possibly more. Quality rubber isn't cheap, you can do the job right the first time or wait until you gone thru a few sets of tires until you finally wake up.

I had nismo s-tune springs on my coupe in the past and my coupe was within spec after alignment. Drop was under 1 inch.

I don't think I could go over an inch, the tires on the rear are huge 275/30/20..and either way I would get my car re aligned anyway...I was just curious, I have seen allot of springs on Ebay, I was thinking 1/2 to 3/4th of a inch...
