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.
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.

Not being completely **** here, just trying to save some confusion. Lord knows I cause enough of it.

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....

I'm a little confused on the front struts. If I'm getting new struts they won't be coming with springs. I'm plan to purchase the revised coupe/Z springs. When ordering the struts I see that there are different struts for the G35 and Z. Which struts should I use? Or what differences in ride height would I experience with each?

Thanks again!

Either would work. Height is deccided by the springs, not struts.
But since you're going with z springs in front, might as well go with z struts too.

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.

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
