Ash H Techs won't as they only offer around a 1" drop but S Techs will come close.

^I thought 350Z H Techs lowered the Z 1" and by extension the sedan ~2" ?

I dont want to eliminate the wheel gap, just reduce. Im at about 3 fingers right now, would like to be 1 or 2, if H techs eliminate it all together it sounds like it would be too low for me

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...

That would probably be too low for me, but that looks good! Did you have to roll fenders / get a camber kit for that? What springs are those?

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

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?

I went and looked at SPC, they costed like 900 for a front set and 130 each for the rear. Was I looking at the wrong thing? If I can get a camber kit for a reasonable pric Id be on board, but I have an absolute limit of $500 for suspension mods.

Honestly if you only have $500 to spend, I don't think you can do it right. (I honestly don't know how much camber kit costs that's why lol)

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?
