oh btw, speaking oh H-tech..
IMO the oem z spring drops enuf of the car already. H-tech probably drops an other .5-.7 inch if i remember correctly... which will give you about almost 2 inch drop in the back.. in that case.. i think u'll definately need camber kits to go with it... which will make your wallet go even thinner
given the road conditions here in Greater Van... I don't think i'll want to drop my G more then what the oem 350z give me.. but that's just me

Nope, the H-techs for the 350Z drop the 350Z -0.3/-0.2 front and rear according to the specs on their website. So figure a -1.3/-1.2 drop on a sedan.

I never tried the 04 revised version... so i can't compare the two.. but I think for me, I'll definately want some D-Spec in the future to go with my 03 350z springs.
are your 04 suspension assembled already? I mean is the front still intact with the spring mounted and all?
since you got it already why not just install them and see how you like them? Might take you a while to install but once you get a hang of it, it's very easy to do.
I just installed mine last weekend with my buddy... it was a little tough at first, but after we did the first front side and frist back side, the 2nd time around was really fast and easy to do.
I really want to try some 04 350z springs to see how different it'll feel.. I orignally wanted the 04s like you but I just can't find any around here...
so I went with the 03s, and I was prepared for a very stiffen ride...
After I got it on and now i've driven for over 4 days through Roards in vancouver, Burnaby and Richmond... I am finally getting used to feeling the little bumps and humps on the road surfaces now I think it might take me a while to totally get used to it since I'm coming from non-sport suspension and now to the 03 350z suspension... but I can tell you that all the advertised results from previous threads on how the G handles with the 350z springs are absolutely true.
and what Jim have posted over and over again is very true as well. Weight transfer is night and day better, roll issue is pretty much gone in corners.
if you are serious about getting rid of your 04s.. pm me a price... I'm really kinda interested to see how different they are.. but ultimately... I think... one should really look for the D-Specs shocks. The firmer setting on the shocks should help out the ride issue quite a bit..
just me 2 cents..

i find the 350Z suspension gets scary when the road gets bumpy
its still controllable and its great on the track.
but i dont see how i can go with shocks and stock springs... i might as well get coils like TEIN basic.
i guess u dont want harsness.... i find the 350Z still very suitable for the roads in Van. no where near coilover harsness
its still controllable and its great on the track.
