Yes but they'll provide more of a drop than sedan springs, and if you don't upgrade your shocks they will wear out.

well lowering and good comfort don't really go together. most people run tokico d specs when they go really low on springs but they aren't really cheap. z struts should work plenty good though.

you guys think this wing will look good on my sedan?
http://inlandempire.craigslist.org/pts/3505830619.html
it looks sweet on the Guys coupe from the side.
it's on my way to pick up the tiens.
I'm trying to trade him things I have. maybe 20$ on top of what I trade. but yea. I'll probably stop and test fit it.
just confirmed. straight trade for an hid kit and some amps I haven't used in 3 years.
if I don't like it I can re sell it or something.

^ If you're going for a medium sized spoiler I'd go with OEM.

There are plenty of lowering setups that offer as good as stock ride quality.

Tokicos are the stock shock used on the sport edition of the G. If you get the 350z socks they should be tokicos right from factory.

Any specific Z springs/shocks to look out for?

I can't answer that one, but the answers are out there, easy to find, and someone else here might be able to help better.

I just did it properly from the start and got coilovers.

light upgrade

I just purchased an 05 Coupe, and feel the low beams, while bright white, aren't as good as they could be. Additionally, the high beams (yellowish), while adequate could also be better. What is the simplest way to improve the lighting? Cost is not a large factor.

I already posted that the teins were fairly well known to be harsh.

If you want to know more than the simple will it fit questions with suspension, you have a ton of research ahead of you, there are literally tons of options and all have pros and cons

Catchair - projector retro fit, not simple, but that is what you want, it will cost around 800-1500 depending on what you want
