This my drop on '05 350Z springs....
'05 rears have a higher spring rate than previous years.

There is less than 1/4" dif front to rear

Yes, those are the exact spacers I used. (3/8" thickness) I did have to trim off that upper lip to make them perfectly cylindrical, but it was easily done with a razor blade.

Looks nice. Did you use spacers?

No spacers...
I think it's due to the higher spring rate of the '05 Z springs...
They don't settle as much.

I used the Eibach pro kit and it is perfect for me. I think it looks great with my summer (20's) and winter (18's) set ups. Take a look.

Call me crazy, but I like your 18" coupe wheels better than the 20's.

But you drop looks great either way!

PS Did you need any spacers to get an even drop?

No spacers at all.

I'm running ESPELIR springs designed for 350Z on my Sedan. The drop is VERY even...however, it is super low.

As for the rates, they're definitely stiffer than a non-Sport Sedan...but I can't really tell compared to the Sport Suspension.

I don't have access to pictures of my car on my computer at work...but, just look up my profile & look for threads started by me...there should be quite a few pictures from various angles.

Hope this it the kind of "even" drop you're looking for!
