I just got OEM rays, so 225/40/19 and 245/40/19.
I also am going to run the stock 17" in the winter.
Im not sure what to look for in the G/Z combo either, what years of G and what years of Z are applicable?
Also, I have heard that revised Z is the same thing as G/Z combo. If that is the case, could I also run revised Z/ unrevised Z?
My paragraph has too many Gs and Zs lol...

Update..I just looked and my springs are black right now, so I guess I am non-sport.
As far as I know my options are...
A set of unrevised Z springs
A set of revised Z springs
Unrevised Z springs in front, g coupe springs in back
Revised Z springs in front, g coupe springs in back
Unless the G coupe was revised at some point...then add 2 points to that list.
Whats important
Reduced wheel gap
Even wheel gap
No camber kit needed
If someone can help me choose it would be very appreciated![Smilie](https://g35driver.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
On a side note, I am pretty sure that I have a 2003.0, but where is the ECU, I want to check if I have a 2003.5.

I'll have to let someone else chime in on springs I have no idea about them, but I can tell you that 1" is basically the threshold for needing aftermarket camber/toe adjustments.
Ideally with ANY drop you SHOULD have it, but 1" will be fine. More than that is really pushing it.
RS*R Coilovers. First on a sedan it seems.
And yes of course camber adjustable SPC arms. These were just installed and I need to raise it up at least an inch, it's way too low for me.
-------
I have a question I couldn't find that's kind of related
Please correct any of the following if I'm incorrect:
1. The 350Z/G35 Coupe/G35 Sedan all share the same suspension...
2. *Approximately, in inches*:
The 350Z ride height is "0"
The G35 Coupe ride height is "+1"
The G35 Sedan ride height is "+2"
The G35x Sedan ride height is "+2.7"
Given this knowledge (if correct), how can it be that the control arms, etc, are all interchangable between these models?
Or am I mistaken, and they AREN'T interchangable? If that's the case, where do they differ?
Ideally with ANY drop you SHOULD have it, but 1" will be fine. More than that is really pushing it.

H tech/S tech is about $250-$300 right? Unless camber kit will come to $200 or less then your $500 will be enough.
I have ebaich sportlines lowering springs for coupe and no camber kit etc installed. I have 35 series tires with this set up though.
Here's where she sits now:

Im getting used OEM suspension from a 350Z or a g/z combo, I am still trying to figure out exactly what Im looking for. (Unrevised/revised and all the combos possible)
Ive taken a quick look though, and it seems they are usually in the range of 80-120 for a set. So if I can get camber for all the wheels for like 300 or something that would be good. It may turn out that I only need it on one axle too.
Correct me if Im wrong - I only need a camber kit if I cant get the camber within spec as is, right? So I could just get springs, go get it alligned, and if they say they couldnt align the rear, I could just go get rear camber. Is that correct?
