2005 Revised 350Z full suspension ***Pictures and Questions***
This 350z set-up is from a 2005 with low miles on them.
2005 Revised 350z springs
2005 Revised 350z (front and rear) struts/shocks
2005 Dust covers
2005 Front and Rear sways
Could you tell me if I have all the parts needed for this suspension swap?
Will I benefit by using these Z sways over my sedan?
Thanks

sway bars are cake if you have ramps... front sways a little more time consuming than rear plus it's heavier....
look up my threads/posts started by me and you should find some info...
as for the springs and struts.... if you got a helping hand, the fronts should take no more than 1 hour.... removing the cotter-pinned nut on the upper A-arm link makes life so much easier too.... just remember to have to new cotter pins ready in hand for the re-install....
the rears struts and springs are much easier to swap than the front... again with a helping hand, you should be able to do the rear in less than 30 minutes.... i took a good 2 hours doing it myself (using a jack to lift and lower the spring perch bowl while trying to insert the bolts by yourself is PITA and can be frustrating).....
the z springs and struts are of course shorter but doesn't necessarily make it easier... no need for spring compressors when doing the rears though... the front may require use of compressors to get the upper mount assembly onto the strut with the springs.... i didn't even use spring compressors when installing oem350z springs onto front tockico d-spec struts....
i love the new dropped looked and the handling it (350z springs with d-spec combo) affords and still ride like stock...
good luck on your install....

Thanks for the info.
Here is what I just picked up....
2005 Revised 350z springs
2005 Revised 350z struts
2005 Front and Rear Sways
and I will be having a local shop install this on Tuesday. Will I need any additional parts for this install.
What parts will be needed off of my 2005 sedan, if any?
I do not what to drop off my car and then get a phone call later telling me that I need this and that before they can install it.
These parts are now in my garage so I can post a photo of them if needed for info.
I am still wanting to know if the Z sways will be worth the swap?
Thanks in advance for info

Well, Since no one could offer any advice to if I was missing any parts to this 350Z Suspension I will be have installed tomorrow, I had graciously posted some pictures of a full suspension below. I have circled the pieces I am missing and hope that I can use the parts off my car (as I believe I could)
