Help finding the right springs please

I have a 03 g35 sedan with the non sport suspension. I am looking for a subtle drop probably an 1in. all around but i don't really want to buy any extra parts (camber kits, new shocks, ect.) I was told that having the non sport suspension the 350z unrevised springs wouldn't work. So what now? If I get the Eibach pro kit would i need anything else? thanks for the help

from researching i was under the impression that the unrevised springs work with our setup.

since i don't have the sport suspension would it be correct to assume that if i buy the oem 350z shocks with the unrevised springs that would solve my problem and it'd complete my purchases for doing this drop?

i see but the spring rate is different which would make the backend go up a little more correct?

Yes, listen to the advice. The unrevised shocks with the original valving was notorious for the bounce problem. I myself had an '03 350Z unrevised shocks and springs on my car at one time. Handled great but the bounciness upon hitting highway bumps and joints was a bit annoying. So do yourself a favor and either get some revised 350Z shocks, Konis, or Tokico D-Specs.

Are you sure we can't put 350z springs on regular non-sport G35 shocks?

You could but the the non-sport shocks aren't valved to handle the spring rates of the stock 350Z springs, especiallly the revised rear rate. The ride quality and handling wouldn't be favorable.

^ so are you saying that i can use the unrevised springs with revised shocks or are you saying i should get both revised springs and shocks. The question sounds kind of dumb please bear with me.

Also should i just sell off the unrevised springs and get the eibach pro kit or the 350z h tech, would i have to buy any extra parts for these? camber kits, new shocks etc?

From all the research I have done the unrevised 350Z springs are better.

go with the unrevised springs and revised shocks...if you can't find someone selling only the revised shocks, then buy the revised springs and shocks together and sell your unrevised springs...if you want to go with the h techs or eibach pro kit, they lower more than advertised...so a camber kit would be recommended...but if you are looking at a .75"-1" drop, then get the 350z combo and you can forgo the camber kit, which is the route I went...good luck...

What's a decent price to be paying for unrevised springs and revised shocks?
