350z unrevised suspension question

use your unrevised full 350z setup, you have the revised sport shocks currently on your sedan, dont use that with the unrevised springs.
the 350z shocks are a bit shorter, it will not lower the car anymore, but will eventually last longer than the sport shocks + z springs setup.

^ you know what you are correct, I had a brain fart and thought he had a coupe but yet I'm in the sedan secion. this is what happens when you post all over the boards
To clarify:
2003 to 2006 G SEDAN sport suspension spring rates - 314/342.
Revised spring rates on the 05+ Z and coupes, - 314/427.
With that said, still use the unrevised shocks from the z suspension as they are shorter and will last longer in the long run when compared to your g35 shocks (even though they have the same spring rates).

Here's my G's frankenstein setup:
350Z springs in the front
non-revised coupe springs in the back
Revised 350Z shocks (previously Sport shocks)
I've been running the 350Z shocks for about 2 months now. The ride is definitely firmer and more controlled. It's not harsher, but you wouldn't classify my car as having a luxury ride. The improved handling of the Z shocks is surprising, but it's definitely a sportier ride than that of the Sport shocks. The Z shocks have Tokico stamped on them and the housings are more robust than the Sport shocks. Numerous people have reported that the Z shocks had shorter shock housings to compensate for the 1" lower ride height. This isn't true. The housing are basically the same length as the G sport shocks, but valving and dampening is obviously tighter and the Z shocks run ~1" shorter bump stops.
The revised Z shocks are a great choice if you're looking for exception handling and control at a bargin price (~$50-100). If you're more concerned about ride quality, look elsewhere because your G will ride pretty close to that of a Z or E46 M3 (ie busy and firm).

I got the G35X BTW... I am looking to lower my car no more than 1-inch, and I definitely value ride quality... Where would you suggest looking (what set-up)?
