Pics w/ coupe sport suspension and z front springs

Car was non-sport suspension before, the difference is incredible both looks and performance wise.

The setup i chose is what's widely recommended on here; the coupe suspension (mine is an 06 sport) shocks and rear springs, with the 350z front springs. I threw unrevised fronts on; the fronts are same as revised.

After about a month of mods (thanks to craigslist and the classifieds on here), the car is looking a lil better than stock

Up next is tint and nismo bumper; just got the bumper just need to sand and repaint it. BTW, I would recommend against putting on your own suspension. its a huge pain in the #%$*.

drop looks good, especially with the coupe wheels.

At this day and age, did you actually developed pictures and scanned them?

What made the suspension swap so hard? Did you have a spring compressor?

Noice! I always love to see another 350z springs convert. Since I had a sport suspension, it was a simple search for unrevised springs.


This was the first mod I ever did to my G, about 2 months after I bought her. After seeing the difference, I should've done it immediately upon purchase.

ha still snapping em with my camera phone, working on that (once the damn car parts are taken care of "

hardest thing was getting the damn rear bolts off, almost broke both even after an endless amount of spray. Maybe mine were just on there real tight, but it ended up ok

Susp swaps are pretty easy IMO just time consuming.

Car looks badass dude. I love the color matching

Combination of coupe wheels, springs and color matching is very simple and clean.

My car was the opposite I had to use a cutoff wheel and a metal chisel to remove the strut top bolts.....it was a nightmare.
