ok so i just finished installing 350z stock springs on both front and rear. now i thought i read up on it enough and i thought it was suppose to be 1" drop all around. now after looking at my car i'd say it was probably half drop in front and 1" drop in rear. hate to say i did the work and this is what i got. now my question is has anyone else done it and had same results? im sure i did everything correctly. lots of people says it drives like crap and other half says it drives great. after driving it i like how it feels and everything compared to the stock g35 sedan springs, but not loving the rear lower than the front

 

Mines the same. That's why a lot of guys do the coupe rears instead.

 

^ Yup.

 

Revised Z's is the same thing as G/Z drop. No reason to get unrevised

 

damn that really sucks, i'd wish i knew that before. thanks a lot guys

 

so getting revised z's is the same as g coupe's in the rear? I thought revised z's will drop it lower than unrevised...

did you get struts in the front or just replace the springs?

I replaced struts/springs front and back. Ill try to get a pic up today but we'll see.

 

Revised are the same length and have a higher spring rate so I wouldn't expect that. If you can, get the struts along with the springs; it's better if they're matched. You can get away with sedan sport springs (you can tell, they are red) with unrevised Z or non-sport coupe rear springs, though I have coupe sport springs and stock sedan sport shocks and they haven't blown up...yet!

 

The issue is the rear wheel well is cut lower than that the front (or the front is cut higher depending on your perspective). By going with the z/g combo, you get the 1" up front and .5" in the back so the *gap* looks identical when in fact it's actually a slightly raked setup that compensates for the difference in wheel well height.

 

Actually IIRC someone measured the free lengths and the rears of Revised Z's were the same as the coupes.

 

Would revised z springs with the sport sedan struts cause any camber issues?

 

Same here. I have the same setup and I've been riding on them for 70k miles. 116k on the odo now.

 

Isn't that what I said? Anyway, both will work, and give you a pretty consistent wheel gap front and back, as codey mentioned.

@Yumpity: Camber issues are generally caused by the amount of drop, not spring rates. Any more than about an inch drop and you should invest in a camber kit.

 

alright sorry to beat this to death.

if i get front 350z shocks, are the revised and unrevised front springs the same? i would like to drop the front 1".
