I searched hi and lo for a place to get them cheap in Toronto, but couldn't find anywhere, so I went to my350z.com. If you go to the classifieds, you'll find tons of them for sale.

Had them shipped in a few days, and I was ready to go. Of course, I haven't installed them yet, but based on all the feedback, I'm in for a treat!

If you check periodically, you should be able to find some from a Canadian member.

are 350z springs a good idea? aren't the spring rates very different considering that we have different wheelbases (thus engine location, weight balance is different?)?

thats what i thought, but if you look through the the board a lot of members done it. i would be cheaper then buying new aftermarket shocks and springs.

No, spring rates are the same as the sedan's sport suspension.
('05s rear are slightly firmer)

Ian, does that apply to the revised spring rates that 350z got? The 04.5+ springs rates are stiffer than the 03, regular 04 spring rates.

The '05+ front are the same, the rear are slightly firmer.

I have the revised '05 & they're perfect!
(especially with D-Specs)

Wait, we might be talking apples and oranges here...

The 350z 04.5+ springs have stiffer spring rates than the 03 and 04 350z's.

Are you talking about the 05+ G35 sedans?

True, if you're buying from a shop, but if another member in the states is sending you a 'gift' it can be quite painless actually.

Having said that, I've been lucky enough to find a few things from Canadian members out west, and even a couple locally.

I got hurt on stuff from shops, but stuff from other members came in just fine.

You're right '04.5 was when they changed....

now the question is do i need a new camber kit? or anything else replaced but the shocks and springs?

Now regarding the years of production, i have 2003.5 sedan. Which year 350z shocks and springs would workthe best for my case? 04-06? or what which years? What is D-Spec? I just got my g35 3 weeks ago.

No camber kit required.
You will be at the same height as OEM 350Z,
which has the same upper control arm as we do.
