considering a Zs suspension drops a sedan an inch, I'd say yes... some people think some of that is due to the added weight of sedan - that might be slightly true - but the majority is the length of the strut and spring...

Does anyone know how much of a drop I can expect if I go with Z shocks/springs on an 06 sedan on a non sport suspension? I have 235/45/18 wheels +35.

Looking at:
350z S-TECH front springs with 350z struts.
350z H-TECH rear springs with 350z struts.

Camber, no, not imo..unless you want the wheels straight...just get the toe in spec and you'd be okay. Alignment...i would suggest it but not right away...you want to give the springs some time to settle before going in for an alignment.

For that kind of drop, you can also go with Tanabe DF210's.

I simplified the question (since the rest isn't relevant to the answer)...

for a 1.1" drop you can probably get away with OEM A-Arms and no toe bolt.

If anything, the camber will be a bit negative - if it's not to your liking you can always get adjustable A-arms later.

i was told simliar to that, the front will be fine, but the rear camber will be negative is anything so id have to get like camber bolts for about 55$ and it would fix it?

i just ordered the eibach sway bars PE bushings, and eibach pro kit lowering springs. 750$ installed. decent price? + 80$ for alignment if i want.
pictures will be up in about a week.

you should be fine with Eibach Pro... I was withing spec without front or rear camber arms...

parts are probably around $550 (maybe a little more with the bushings) - so $175-200 for install isn't bad..

You shouldn't have to pay $80 for alignment since there will be no camber adjustment - half that maybe for a basic alignment (40-50)... you might want to wait a month or two (depending on how much you drive) let springs settle before aligning...

Does anyone know if a 03-05 OEM 350z suspension would fit an 06 G35 sedan? If so, would it give me drop over the OEM g35 non sport suspension?

^^ Yes, about 1" drop all the way around. 04.5/05 springs will be a little stiffer in rear as they were revised from the 03/04 spring rates. Search it up.
