Coupe front springs only!

Since I've done many many searches regarding mild drops on our sedans, and never came across pictures of a sedan with coupe front springs only, I thought I'd share mine. Given the popularity of the Z-front, Coupe-rear spring combo, I thought I'd just try the coupe fronts only..and if need be, add the rears later. Well I didnt want the rears to sit lower than the front, so I only changed out the front springs.

Unfortunately, I dont have a clear before shot of the whole car.

Before measurements




After - about 0.3" drop..hmm


The whole car after


Front springs off a 04 Coupe Sport.

i like it, the front coupe springs should be amazingly cheap since everyone just wants the rears and attempt to sell the fronts. same with a Z rear.

I did the 350Z thing on mine when I had my 04....
But, yeah coupe fronts only, do look good!

It makes a huge improvement to get the stance evened out front to rear.



....I'm hoping to be able to do the same thing with my '08.
I'm trying to find some G37S coupe fronts to see if they'll drop my front a tad.


Nice work.

i've done my lowered thing in the past, so having a car that doesnt require an excessive drop is a welcome change. lol I say that now, but something tells me if a pair of Z fronts comes along for cheap I'm putting them in haha. til then i'm hanging onto the coupe rears.

thanks for the compliments!
