I just picked up a set of 05 oem 350Z springs and installed them yesterday at my work. I've never done springs before so it took me about an hour and 45 minutes to do all 4 corners with a lift and spring compressor. I think this is the best $105 i've spent on my car so far. The thing actually sits even now. No more rear being higher than the front. It's the perfect drop for me, my 19's that i'm getting in the next few weeks should finish it off nicely. I cant wait to do the process all over again when i get the Tokico D-Specs in a couple months.

sorry i had to add this picture in, the front end looks mean from this angle!:

 

How do you like the ride of the stiffer rear 05 Z springs?

 

I love it. The car feels a little more responsive and there's a little less roll in the turns due to the lower center of gravity. I think i'll notice more of a difference when i get the D-Spec's and the progress tech sways in about 2 months. Like i said, i feel its the best $105 i've spent on my car so far.

Glad to hear this report. I have a set of 05 z susp also waiting to be installed. Just waiting on the weather in Nj to commit to the warmer season.

 

sweet ride..i'm so jealous..

i am actually getting the 03 350z springs..hopefully i have the same outcome..

 

Looks great! I am going to have to get around to doing something like this eventually.

 

Any tips or tricks with the installation that you would like to share? I have a set of 350Z springs that I am getting ready to install. An hour and 45 minutes seems awfully fast! My last spring install (on a Mustang) took about 3-4 hours.

 

Looks sweet. Did you get these used or new for that price? Did you take any before and after measurement to see how low it dropped you.?

 

It will get better when you add the D-Specs. Enjoy.

 

Looks real good thought I would post some pics for you.

 

here a couple more for you

 

Looks sweet bro. Congrats on the new look.

 

u mean front higher than rear--correct?

Looks very good and even. Will the prokit acomplish the same thing?

 

yeah, sorry texan. It really is even now. I believe the eibach will do the same, it's just going to be much much lower than the 350Z springs.

vrsc- yeah i have some before measurement pics, i'll take some after ones tomorrow and post em up for you guys. Right when i dropped the car off the lift i measured and it was a 1/2" difference. Now that they've settled in i'll measure again to see exactly how much it lowered. and the price was $105 for used springs. I got them from a member on my350z.com. he used them for less than 3,000 miles before they were exchanged so they're pretty new.

dyen- thanks for the compliments

ARoss- It only took an hour and 45 because i had the lift, and the spring compressor at my shop helped out alot. hmmm... tips... make sure when you put the front's back in have the abs line on the right side, i had it on the wrong side and bolted everything down, then had to take it all apart again! When you put them back in the part where the strut connects to the lower arm wont be lined up so you have to turn it to fit. Loosen the top bolt in the middle of the three little ones in the engine bay, but only like 3 turns so it doesnt come out. If you loosen it anymore then your spring will go flying. It'll make it easier to line the strut up with the lower arm.

Thanks again for all the compliments guys

I can see your overlays in those pixs they look great in the ligher color.
As far as the pro kit's giving the same drop I have the prokits looks like my drop is a little lower but you will not find a new set of prokit springs for $105.00
