Question about 350z struts

Do 350z struts lower a sedan any at all I have researched this andI hate to post this cause I know it's been discussed over and over but I have seen posts that say yes and post that say no so forgive me for the repetitive post just trying to get a definitive answer

Check the FAQ sticky in the sedan section. 350Z springs will lower a sedan an inch or so.

I understand that but I have read the z struts are 1/2 inch shorter than sedans every part store I check part numbers are different I don't see a reason for an aftermarket parts distributer to have 2 different part numbers for the same part. I'm just trying to find out if there is indeed a height difference

Shorter = less travel length. Not ride height

It's still not a bad idea to pair the Z spring and struts. But not necessary.

I had a G35 sedan non-sport. If I came across a Z spring/strut package, I'd do it. As my premium non-sport struts are softer than the Z units

I have non sport suspension and I am currently running tanabe coupe springs I can tell my struts/ shocks are starting to fail and I would like to drop the front just a tad to even the drop but I don't have enough for coils right now was hoping I could get the z struts and it would lower it a half inch but I guess I'll have to save for coils
