Quick question guys, looking at purchasing 350z suspension to lower my sedan. Does anyone know if the Nismo V3 suspension set up will work?

Yep - and I was wrong about the spring rates..these bad boys are NOICE..
NISMOs have progressive rate springs 448/504 (F+43% R+48% compared to 2003 suspension) vs. 314/427 for the revised suspension.

I ran the Nismo 350Z suspension on my 04 sedan, and it was great. The only thing I would say is the rear was about a 1/4-1/2" lower than the front. I added a polyurethane spacer on the rear to even it out.

I used a spacer like the one below from Energy suspension (It has to be trimmed a little, but it worked), and mounted it on the rear upper spring (rubber) mount. If you can find someone that has trimmed the rear spring mount, you could also use their leftover piece.

Energy Suspension 3/8 Spacers for the rear (part number 9.6101)...

Yeah it is slightly lower in the rear. My ride height is 27" in the front and 26.75" in the rear. The just with the revised suspension though.

You find a 6MT Bibb?

Doh.... Just noticed he is probably talking about the suspension of a Nismo Z. I had the Nismo S-tune suspension (it did not have progressive springs), so I can't comment on the ride. The same will probably hold true on the ride height though....

Rob - When is this Kan guy opening his shop? I feel like I need a tune before I WOT again.

Thinking about just making a trip to Austin. Any of you guys have any experience with any other shops around here that tune?

I'm trying to put the event together, I'll make a thread soon.

if you are just NA there is no reason to not go WOT, unless you are Heavily modded NA.

I've never heard of bolt-ons causing an engine to run THAT lean.

I think the group tune day will be in about 3-4 weeks.
