I've been modding the sedan lately
Since there isn't a whole lot more I can do to my coupe without spending a lot of money, and since my sedan needed new shocks and had a camber issue even on stock springs, and since I had the Brembos from my coupe handy (after installing the Rotora BBK on it), and since I won a set of Cobb Tuning sway bars at a raffle, I decided to put them all together on the sedan.
I also added stainless Stoptech brake lines, R1Concepts drilled and slotted rotors in the Brembo configuration, stock 350Z rear springs, and Tein 350Z S-Techs up front with Tokico D-Specs all around, and SPC camber arms front and rear, with the toe bolts. I took the D-Specs and the S-Techs off of my coupe after I bought a set of BC Racing coilovers.
The tires were wearing on the insides even on stock suspension, so I decided to get the camber kits, and figured I might as well lower it as well. I first installed the S-Techs all around but the rear springs made the rear wheels tuck inside the fender wells. I also rolled the rear fenders. The OEM Z springs leveled the rear even with the front.
After getting it aligned today, the ride is so much better, but not harsh at all. And the ride hight is much improved, as is the stopping ability. I think I'm about done with mods on this car though.
Here are a few pics.

Both G's.

Z springs really improved the stance of that car. Looks great, good work, Gilley, wanna do mine?

I don't know if the tow check would help with the high speed atability. I'd suggest getting the kits and getting the alignment done then.

That's a great start.

when with the coupe in the picture. Both cars complement each other.

And I'll need them if I ever return the coupe to stock or sell the Rotoras.

Don't get me wrong, the sedan looks good. Its just that the coupe looks so much more completed.
