which springs would fit best

currently running revised z suspension with oem springs. i have a few option in mind
either the eibach sportline (350z version) or the nf2 tanabe 210 (350z)

currently need spacers but by guessing on height, i have a 2 1/2 - 3 finger gap in the rear. in the front i have 2 1/4 finger gap

here are some shots. i want a 1 1/4 finger gap in the rear and about 1 finger gap in the front


Rear

Front

oh front tire size is 225/50/18
Rear is 245/45/18

i plan on either getting 45s all around or going 40 all around.

I forgot you had a LS sedan with the front lip as well.

I'm very happy with my set up: Sedan S Techs and revised Z struts. With 18s you will probably have a slightly larger gap than I do.

Personally, I'd get Sportlines over NF210's. even though they both have a progressive rate, the sportlines are stiffer. NF210's are look too soft for me. Close to the revised rates.

Honestly, I'd get those springs I posed in the local thread. They are hard to find, and are linear.

I was happy wit my sedan htechs but I just got coils. The htechs were a comfy ride and took a lot of the gap out. Wit the spring mount mod it evened things out. That reminds me I need to post those springs for sale

RSR's. Good spring rate. Drops .6 on a coupe so It should drop you around 1.5. Not as much of a drop as Z sportlines though on a sedan.

About 1.5-1.6 from stock springs. these would probably give you about a 1 finger gap or less. If you want lower, sportlines may be it. The reason why I like RSR's is that the rate is linear instead of progressive like the sportlines. To be honest, Z S-tech's would also be good for a low drop on a sedan. Comparable spring rates to the revised springs and the rears are linear.
