Ok guys, I have a guy in town selling 05 350z springs and struts with about 70k on them.. selling the set up for $200. I need help in deciding whether to purchase these or not? I wanna drop the car a bit without affecting camber. If I do buy this set up what is needs to be done with alignment? Thanks guys! Any quality input would be greatly appreciated!!

 

200 bucks for 70k, gtfo. The struts will probably wear out soon, for under 100 bucks that sounds good

Springs alone go for 50-80 shipped

I am dropped on revised Z Springs and alignment is OK, a bit more negative but no adverse tire wear. Drops you 1inch all around.

 

$200 is way too much. Those shocks/struts are worn out and worthless, the springs are worth about $60.
Just get an alignment after they are installed and have them set the car up to 350Z specs and you will be good to go.

 

it is recommended to get a rear camber kit even with just springs drop, however, i've been on my Z suspension (same as the one being sold) for 2 years now with no crazy tire wear.

$200 is too much, give him $100 and be done.

 

Anybody who buys a camber kit for z suspension is a fool

 

haha, way to high, i paid $200 shipped for full OEM 350z suspension with 3k miles on it.

 

^+10000 I just paid 150 shipped for full revised suspension with 6k on it! Look around youll find a good deal eventually

 

Guys thanks for all the replies its been a great help. I'll keep looking. Any other things to consider when doing this change to 350z springs and shocks?

 

Also you guys think $200, for shocks and springs off the 05 350z with 70 kilometers not miles on it is too many km's?

 

^ Yes 44k is still a lot of miles for 200 bucks. Again 200-150 bucks for under 10k miles they are new. 44k should be 120 at the most and less.

 

70,000 or 70?
There is still some life left with those. You can probably get almost another 43k out of them.
I probably wouldnt pay more than about $150 for them. For $350 you can have brand new shocks(tokico) and used 350Z springs so keep that in mind when making your purchase. The average life of a shock is 60-80k miles.

 

70,000 kilometers.

 

I have a 05 sedan on 05 350z springs. You will need a front and rear camber kit. The rear will really not eat tires bad unless the toe is out. The front will eat the insides of the tires quick. I have rear camber kit, front and rea sway bars, dropped on 20" tsw wheels.

 

Really, im trying to avoid getting camber kit and all that.. I was told that if I dropped in the 350z springs and shocks, I would just have to get the alignment shop to spec the car to the 350z...

 

Then your alignment shop must suck.

Here's my front tire after over a year and 10,000 miles:
