Has anyone had any trouble with there alignment after installing 350z springs (revised or unrevised)? I want the lowered look, but I really don’t want to screw up the alignment and cause any premature wear and tear.

Ya , the front Was Pretty Good .. But The Rear Had a few Adjustment's That needed to be done.

I had them....the Tein 350Z H-techs. The drop was supposed to be 1.3"F / 1.2"R. The rear was way off!!! I chewed through my rear in no time....only a few thousand miles. (i kept delaying on buying the camber arms.)
What I noticed was this....and it may have to do with the longer wheel base on the sedan versus the 350Z, but the rear springs are way too stiff. The ride was fine, but it made the car a major oversteerer! I am talking DriftKing style!
I have since replced the rear spring with my factory sport springs. It brought things back to normal.....and now, the front is only about a 1/2" lower than the rear.

He's talking about OEM 350Z springs.. NOT H-Techs.Originally Posted by QuadCam

The extra drop makes a difference.
I had no trouble getting alignment to spec.
Ran all last year, tire wear could not be more even.
Thanks for the info guys.
Which springs should I go with? Revised or Unrevised?
I believe the unrevised will more closely match the spring rates on the X. I'm just not sure.
Maybe I should do z springs in the front and coupe sport springs in the rear?

I'm the same situation as you. I'm workin on a deal for 06 revised springs as we speak. Compression rates are a lot higher than oem stock X springs
