SWEETTALKER...
No, 350Z springs drop right into G35 Coupe or Sedan...no mod's necessary.
I personally am loving the new height & handling. However, I feel like they're actually SOFTER than my factory "sport suspension" springs. When we did the swap, the Espelir spring's wire-gauge seemed smaller than the factory spring's. And the ride is actually nicer.
So, I don't know if the Espelir's are progressive rate or linear. If its linear, then I think I've actually LESSENED my G's cornering abilities. But, its still very nimble & doesn't lean too much for me. I like'em alot! ^-^

They're styled in the same style as the 19's from the Coupe...but the biggest difference is that the Coupe wheels are forged, while these are cast. HUGE weight difference! And not to mention, the Coupe wheels are staggered...19x8 in front & 19x8.5 in rear. These 18's are 18x7.5 all the way around.
Thanks for the compliments, everyone! ^-^

ok, there was a rumor that the coupes with the sport suspension package are 1/2" lower than without, is this true??
