Suspension is on and so far has dropped the front 1in (+-) and the rear seems 1/2-3/4th of a drop.
2005 Z and G sways were exactly the same thickness so the Z's are still in the box and my OEM are staying on the car(for now)
Supension seems tighter and handles much better. I can feel the bumps a bit more. It feels like a total different car (for the better)h
Somewhere along the way home 15 miles into my drive the car started a rattle/creak in the rear passenger only(sounds like somethings loose whenever I hit even the softest bump). I got home and took out the box of old suspension parts and tire/lug nut case and took it for a spin again (thought that was the cause). But the rattling is still there??? Please assist!!! I called the shop back but of course it didn't rattle when the mechanic test drove it and they can't help until they see the car again tomorrow. I will be posting a thread in the suspension forum asking for tips and advice.
If I can get this rattling fixed, this was a great mod.
I will post pictures once I get all of this resolved!!

Well, I hope you were able to fix your prob.
Finished the install this morning. Went on without a hitch. I really like the feel, ride quality is def. an improvement over stock

My car looks great with the 350z suspension on it. RZ put it on yesterday but on my way home I started to notice a loud rattling from the rear passenger. I thought it might had been my OEM suspension in the trunk and kept going. I got home, took out the suspension and the ratling was still there?? I brought it back to them today and when the took a look at it, to their surprise one of the bolts from my rear shock tower had broken off?? After 1 hour they fixed it as good as new and it is still riding/looking great.
Just think though, I drove over 100 miles on only one rear shock bolt. Wow
