Thanks for the info, Dave. Do you have any increased tirewear issues now?

What about the shocks/struts? Replace the sport shocks/struts with replacement Z items?

The front wheel well on most cars is larger than the rears that is way it looks like the back is lower than front.

Nope. I haven't gotten an alignment yet either. My EL42s are showing no signs of odd wear at all.

I'm using the sport struts all around and they seem to be fine and can dampen the marginal drop quite well.

Are these from an '04 with UNREVISED springs or did the guy who sold me these lie to me just to make a buck?! I specifically told him what I needed and he assured me that they were off his '04 and were the unrevised version.

Looking at the springs I was sent.... the smaller coils have one PINK or SALMON colored dot with a visible part number M3X01874 and the larger coils have 2 red dots and one white with no visible part number.

The white dot on the rears are revised ones. If you look up at one of the post that I did before it will tell you what years have what color dots. Fronts are all the same, its just the rears that are different

That's what i thought... revised springs are too stiff for my sedan. That's what I get for trusting someone.

From reading multiple posts about this I think that you are incorrect. The white dots on the rear are the UNREVISED ones. Can someone please confirm?

I took this from a post from the 350z forums:

2 red and one pale or light purple dot, you have springs from the revised suspension (427lbs rears vs 342lbs)

2 red and 1 white, you have the UNREVISED suspension

I agree with this =)

Probably the best way to compare springs for unrevised/revised is to measure the diameters.
