350z rear shocks will fit.

Now that I am reading this again and the non-sport sedan spring rate being softer than the X, wouldn't the Eibach Pro Kit work with the X better even with the stock shocks? Since Eibach Pro Kit was made for the NON SPORT Sedan.

Sedan RWD
2003 - 2006 - G35 sedan non sport spring rates - 283/308

Sedan X
2004 - 2006 - G35x - 283/355

Not really any big news and didn't want to start a new thread...so I'll just tag onto my thread here. Tirerack.com updated the G35 pic to the 2005-2006 model with sports rims. ABOUT TIME!!!

i believe one of the differences is that the z springs are linear just like the stock ones and the eibach springs are progressive and may give you a slightly different ride. the drop should be about the same. also, the eibachs are a little over $200+shipping and the z springs should cost you less than $100 shipped... got mine for $65 shipped. you should shoot Gsedan35 a pm as he is very knowledgeable on the suspension and should be able to steer you in the right direction to what type of ride you are trying to achieve.

My car has finally been lowered with the unrevised 350z springs. There are good and bad. Good being it looks alot more aggressive and corners much flatter. The bad being the cambers are way off. It's got neg camber in the rear where you can see it angles in a bit. Also, the drop was alot lower than expected and I can barely get 1.5 fingers slanted in the rear. A wheel alignment can only do so much...fix the toe, etc but the cambers are still way off being -2.6 and -2.9. Just wondering how you guys are coping with the neg cambers and how off was it. Also, how tight is your rear gap? Do you get problems when the seats are full in the rear? Thanks...

I am thinking whether I should put the stock springs back in. Then again, that's such a waste of money. It's taking the fun out of driving a bit since I have to concentrate on bumps, potholes, etc more than ever now. Maybe I should just save money and trade it in for a 07? HAHA...
