Where did you get them from?

Would you suggest purchasing the Tanabe sways as well?

I really don't think there is a huge difference between the sway bars. Most of us are running either Hotchkis (I am), Stillen, or Motordyne. I don't personally know anyone who runs the Tanabe sways so I can't comment on them. I am happy with the Hotchkis no doubt.

These are the best bang for the buck suspension mod out there IMHO. Adding them will completely change how your car handles and drives.

Thanks for the pics guys read through the whole post, just want to confirm a few things ya im new.

Any year 350z springs will lower a sedan 1'' all around?

350z struts work on a sedan? 2006 Sedan to be exact.

What is the difference between revised/unrevised z springs.

Thanks!

What is the difference between revised/unrevised z springs. - unrevised are more "bouncy"

Thanks!

the unrevised springs (model years 2003- 2004) have one pink dot for the fronts and two red dots and one white dot for the rears. The spring rates for unrevised are 314 up front and 342 out back. They match the sedan sport springs perfectly and therefore won't cause extra wear to your shocks/struts.

I finally put my 350z S Tech springs and 350z Tokico D-spec shocks/struts on last weekend. Once they settle, I'll wash her up real well and post up some pics!

Looking through the thread I didn't see anyone who had the coupe setup f/r. Is this bad or does the rake just look better with the g/z setup? Also how mush difference does it make whether the coupe suspension is sport or not?

Probably because the drop that Coupe springs offer (.5 inches) isn't worth the hassle for most if not all. You prob wouldn't even notice that the car is lower, lol! I'm dropped 1.7 inches in the front and 1.6 in the rear and still want more low! Why didn't I listen to Bluedream???

And to answer your second question:

The Sport vs non-Sport suspension has higher spring rates. If you get springs from a sport tuned suspension and install them on your non sport suspension, you'll be kissing your shocks/struts goodbye very soon afterwards.

The fronts a little less than a 2 finger gap and the rear is a 1 finger gap
