^Dude, if you dropped it on Z suspension and didn't have an alignment done, it's waaay out of spec.
Getting an alignment probably won't get it 100% back in spec, but just tell them to get it as close as possible to spec and it'll be fine, a lot better than what you have now, and def not a waste of money.

Here's some interesting info for people who've lowered the G with a 350z suspension.

I had a 4-wheel alignment done this morning. The alignment shop said they got everything within, or very close to, spec. Then they compared the G35 sedan specs to the 350z specs and everything was within the spec range for the 350z. I guess the 350z has more aggressive specs - presumably for better handling.

I feel much better about the swap now.

^Oh nice. Thanks for that, that's really cool that your shop looked up the specs for the 350z!

Next time I have an alignment done, I'll just tell them to use 350Z specs

I just installed 350z suspension too but my alignment was done for a G. I wonder if it makes a difference in handling. They gave me a 12K mile warranty, on adjustments if the alignment goes off. I think I'll go back & explain its a 350z suspension & see if they will adjust to those specs.

I'd love to find someone selling 05+ Z springs. I registered on my350Z and no one is selling any. I got the struts/shocks sitting in the garage waiting on the springs.

I tried both places. You'd think Las Vegas would have more listings for such stuff. NOPE! Also been looking on Ebay for the past month or so and not a single full set of revised springs. Only aftermarkets. That's what I don't want. I prefer the feel of a stock suspension.
