Shock/Suspension Recommendation ('04 Sedan)
I would recomend either front/rear revised z springs (04.5+) if you want about a 1" drop, or z front springs and unrevised coupe (pre revised rear springs). The z fronts will lower/stiffen up the front and the unrevised G rears will lower/stiffen about .5-.75" .....
once revised, the higher rate rear springs for the z and coupe are the same so you may as well just get a set of oem z springs. If you want some springs, I have some oem available...I think they are coupe fronts and rear. I would have to double check.
I am running G/Z combo with Z tokico shocks with no problem at all.

Not being completely **** here, just trying to save some confusion. Lord knows I cause enough of it.
Technically, G springs were never revised, but in 05/06 you could get sport springs (19" wheel equipped cars) but you could still get non-sport springs. But the sport springs are the same rate as Z revised and physically appear to be exactly the same.

You just caused a bit more
...so "technically" speaking the revised 350Z springs in 04.5 are the same springs as the 05/06 G coupe sport springs of 05/06!...I never meant to imply that they revised the G coupe spings...Well agreed upon....

Thanks. I realized that the springs determine the height but I didn't want to have a strut that was too short and end up having the spring slightly compressed.
It shouldn't be too hard to eliminate the rubbing. Once you've got that squared away, go lower. The one inch drop you get from revised z suspension is really nice. Makes the car look better, it's cheap, and firms up the ride a bit without making it uncomfortable.
Also, if you're running Z suspension, you can just have the shop use alignment specs for a 350Z, and it should go into spec.

Lol yea. When I took my car for an alignment the guy in the shop though I did some cheap drop like cutting springs or something. Since. Left side of the car was- 1.1 and the right was -0.7. But I had an empty tank of gas so I am pretty sure that messed it up.
I never rub with the 18s
