Hard to tell, is this a member's car? Looks lower than Z-springs, for sure, which is an inch.

I agree it's kind of hard to tell, but I'd estimate about 1.5 inches. My car has Eibach pro-kit springs and there's about a 2-finger gap front and rear, which I believe is a 1.1-1.2 inch drop.

Do you think this will be an upgrade from 350z springs that i have on. I hate the wheel gap, and wanna get really low springs, but not slammed tho.

Get the H&R springs then. they drop the sedan a perfect amount IMO.

I dont know what the springs rates are though and since you have the 350z shocks it might wear them out faster.

OEM 350z springs will not lower a G sedan very much, so there are plenty of other springs that will give you a drop that you are looking for. You just have to decide what shocks you want to use.

Gap also depends on what tire size that guy used.

With progressive springs you might want to upgrade to a better aftermarket shock. I have the G sedan sport suspension so I can use linear shocks (not as stiff as progressive). I have Hotchkis 350z springs (linear) and my sedan is about 1.75 inches lower...

Progressive shocks will allow you to lower the car more, so you will need shocks that can withstand them. Don't forget a camber kit!!!!

If you are gonna lower it with just springs, you will want to use 350z springs to pair up with the 350z shocks you are using. Take a look at the 350z Tein S-tech. They will lower the sedan an additional 1" and you will have the advantage of keeping shock dampening to a more even rate.

Now thts a better solution. This way i get the perfect drop, and dont have to buy new shocks as well. so the z s techs will give like 2 inches?
