I been thinking about a drop, but I have the spots suspension, I dont want to downgrade it just to drop it an inch, if you know what I mean. Or am I wrong on this?

I been trying to find any G's that are black that have painted/powder coated there oem rims black. Cant find any :O

Edit: So I just looked at the Brakes & Suspension section.

my spring rates are Front:314 Rear:342

If I find 2004.5-2006 350z (revised springs) it will drop my car about an 1inch and it will just be a bit firmer in the rear?
Front:314 Rear:427

Can I just change the springs out with out having to change anything else? How much should I look to pay for these springs?

for all 4? Thats sounds good haha. But how about installation? If I get the Z Revised Springs I will have stiffer suspension in the back and up to a inch lower right?

I need to find out if that's all I need to do. I dont need to change camber,shocks,coilovers,struts or anything like that?

edit: i read the DIY springs install guide, the rear seems easy but the front looks alot more complicated.

Chrome would flow better with your car. Ties into the chrome trim around your windows. Check out this thread for ideas on your drop question:

with only an inch drop, you would only need to get an alignment after. no need for camber kits

Not feeling the wheels, but I don't like all black anyway.

You could get Coupe springs which would drop you a half inch and still retain the same spring rate.

Yea, black isnt looking as good as I thought :O
any how

yea, I might go for for the coupe springs that are the same as the Revised 350z spring rates. I am going to get a 245/45 tire vs now 235/45 its going to be a bit bigger. Coupe springs will be the same price as z springs?

Thanks
