350z vs g35c coilovers. Which should i get? Wanna go LOOOWWW

Well everyone is saying that if i go as low as i want to, that i am going to bottom out all over the place... now my question is.. if i bought 350z coilovers, would they have the same amount of travel, but like springs for the 350z, start the drop a half inch lower than the g35c ones? I dont know if this makes sense, but everyone knows that if you buy springs for the 350z rather than the g35c, they lower the G an additional .5 inches. I plan on dropping my G35 at least .5 inches obviously, so at stock 350z ride height, the G35 would be lowered half an inch? I dunno, i was just thinking about this and wondering. Are the 350z and g35 coilovers exactly the same?

they're the same, just different spring rates. to my knowledge, the buddy club coilovers can go quite low.

They are the same,

JIC coilovers for the 350Z will get your very low, actually to be honest, it is really agressive.

im a high school senior though and dont really wanna spend $1900 on coilovers, $700 for camber correction, and another couple of hundred for install... i dont have $3k just laying around like SOME of the members I guess i'll probably end up going with d-specs and s-techs or prokit . its better than no drop

well let me tell you this, for that 200 dollars you buy for the springs and another 200 for install in a couple months time your going to have to replace those stock shocks.

Noone is makin you buy anything and plus 1900? Go get some tein basics if you look around u can get them for 800.

and camber correction will be min 300

look around trust me

D-specs are...ehh...ok for 100% street use. Tein springs for the G, on the other hand...worthless. Def take the time to look around and find another, better spring. And yes, there are decent springs in that price bracket...

let's see the back to back comparsion data of your D-Specs on street and D-Specs on the track. then I would agree or disagree to your comment on the D-Specs.

LOL, I know exactly how you feel. My girl is scared to get in my car now b/c she knows if she makes the wrong move shes going to hear it. She will learn eventually...
