depends on how many miles on them...i bought mine brand new dealer takeoffs for $250 shipped...

<$200 might be a few thousand miles on it...so it all depends...

I say $250 for 08 brand new ones sound really good though...

the sportline will give you a big drop. I would say about an inch or inch half more since I notice you have a X.

Check out my350z. I just picked up some revised z springs and shocks for $200 shipped. The shipping ate up almost half of it. They had 15k miles on them. I had the sports suspension and I noticed a difference, the car rides much better with the revised Z springs. The drop is perfect with the stock 17s IMO.

This is the first time that I have quoted myself.

EDIT: Sorry, I should mention that there is a 350z forum with a marketplace where you can buy stuff. There is a link at the very top of the page or click here: http://my350z.com/forum/

+1 on my350z marketplace that's where I found my 350z springs. I've had both the eibach pro kits and the 350z springs on my sports package shocks and the 350z shocks are the better of the two overall. Eibach gave me a lower drop in the front than the 350z so the car had a nice stance. The springs were bouncy and I think that's probably because I have sports package shocks they probably would handle better on none sport suspension. I had uneven tread wear with the eibachs and didnt' notice it till it was too late to save my tires ended up buying a new set of tires and slapping on the 350z/G35coupe shocks and the difference was amazing. The handling really improved and the springs gave me an even drop from front to rear. Installed the front camber kit and haven't had any worries since.

Theres always Ebay. I would use it as a last resort, but I saw a set on there the other day for super cheap.

You should get both. Check out my sig.

I had a buddy that had the eibach all around but the eibach lowered his coupe too much on the front. So we traded my z front for his eibach front. Gave it the perfect drop for both vehicles. I barely got a 1 finger gap all around.

I would also check craiglist for the z springs. I got the revised springs and struts for 50 bucks.

Suggest going with 350z springs in the front and coupe springs in the rear. Also since you don't have sport suspension on your G on, you will need to get sport shocks.

You guys are being ripped off on the z springs. They should be going for no more than $50 picked up (I paid $30 for '07's) and then whatever it costs for shipping. If you are talking about the whole setup, including shocks $200 is reasonable, but $350 is still a rip off. You can get Tokico HP 350z shocks for $220, why get used shocks for basically $300?
