suspension question~newbie

Hey I got these springs from my buddy's 350z...Can someone tell me if they are revised / unrevised.

Also, do I just pretty much just swap them in for my non sport oem sedan springs? And will a alignment be necessary?


Sorry for the newbie questions, i did search and found out that i did not need a camber kit or toe bolts..Still looking for these answers though!
thanks.

A 04.5+ Z rear spring will have 2 red dot's and 1 pale purple dot. A 03/04 rear Z spring will have either 2 red dot's only or 2 red dot's and 1 white dot.

with a 1 inch drop, u will still be able to get ur car aligned. u shouldnt have much issues with camber wear, if any.

i had the same springs on my g35x. alignment wasn't bad. i did camber arms font and rear. if i had to do it again i would have saved up and got a quality aftermarket set up. just my 2 cents.

Sorry I missed this thread earlier.

Yes, those are unrevised. Also, you don't need a camber kit with Z springs.
Tell the shop to use alignment specs for a 350Z and you'll be fine.

I have a little neg camber that puts it just slightly out of sedan specs, but my tires aren't showing any camber wear after a year.

one question ive always had with setting you specs to a z. would you wear tires like a z? i work at a nissan dealer and looking at the difference in specs it seems you would. i dont know from experience just a question.

Would probably depend much on the tire, and how good a job the alignment shop did. I know some guys on here run excessive negative camber, but don't wear tires as fast as you might think because they keep their toe as close to perfect as possible.
