Nismo 350Z Springs

I found a person selling nismo 350 springs off his 2003 350Z. I would like to know if they would fir on my 2006 G35 Sedan. I am looking at lowering my car a little more than stock. Please let me know if this would work and also if I am going to need adjustable camber kits.

All of the suspension stuff that guy is selling on ebay are NOT Nismo parts, they are oem 2003 parts. I messaged him on ebay to let him know. He's selling the parts for his son in law, so he doesn't know any better. He even has rear shocks listed as fronts, rear spings listed as fronts ect. If he doesn't fix his ad's within 24 hours of me messaging him I'm going to report him as fraud to ebay.

If they were Nismo springs, you would HAVE to buy aftermarket shocks, I would recommend D-specs. Flat out no way you can run springs that stiff on oem shocks. Also, oem sedan shocks are too tall for that kind of a drop, which would be about 1.6".

If you want a little bit of a drop then the 350Z springs are what you should get.

Just to say it, avoid oem 2003 and 2004 oem 350Z shocks at all costs. Not unless your getting the front shocks for free and your getting upper shock mounts with dust shields/bump stops attached. Remove the shocks and safely dispose of them. Revised 2004.5+ shocks are a totally different matter.

az1anbeethoven, do you happen to have pics of the shocks from your oem 06 Z setup that clearly show the front and rear shock part numbers? If you do, was the donor Z a coupe or a roadsteer?

no you should be looking for the UNREVISED springs. i have the exact same car as you... unrevised matches the spring rates of your shocks....

I was but it seems people on here said I need to get adjustable shocks too, which I am looking at getting the D-Specs. Now I need to find someone selling 2005+ 350Z springs.

What is the drop with 350Z springs??

you don't need adjustable shocks if the springs you get match OEM, ie: the unrevised Z springs...

Which company makes the unrevised Z springs. I am also thinking of dropping the car by 1" all around and will the unrevised Z springs fit my 2005 G 35 sedan 6 MT

Where can you buy and whats the total cost involved

Is is just fine that you replace the springs only or you need to do perform something else too
