rule of thumb for lowering springs same as 1st gen?

on a 1st gen sedan coupe springs lower the sedan .5" more and 350z springs lower the sedan 1" more.

does that same rule apply to the 2nd gen sedans? i couldnt find anything on it.

Revised 350z springs have been tried. Rear lowered ~1". Front, surprisingly, was the same height.

Good info CalsonicVQ. I didn't know anybody had actually tried Z springs on the 2nd gen sedan. Very surprising info for sure...the newer sedan is heavier, I would have thought it would have been lower than 1st gen? Very strange...
