well, i have an 05 sport, the spring rates are very close(higher in the front though). from the suspension sticky:
I will take some pics Wednesay after my allignment (hopefully they will have settled already)
Oem linear springs
G35 coupes 2005/2006 with oem 19’s only
350Z 2004.5 to 2006
Front:314 Rear:427
Any spring or coil over that has “stiffer then oem springs by” does not factor in the higher rear spring rates of 2005 coupes with oem 19’s or 04.5+ oem 350Z’s
Tein S-tech 350z (fronts are progressive, rears are linear) .7”/.6” drop on 350Z G35 drops will be higher
Spring rates in LBS 386/402 (estimated front intial rate is 327lbs)

did you preload the suspension (or do you even have to?)
I know when I installed springs on my rx8, you had to preload the springs to get it to settle correctly, I used a jack and raised the rotating asembly up while the A bar was loose after the spring was fully compressed and the car started to life up you tighten that A bar, and thats it. or you leave the 2 bolts for the bar loose drive it around the block, turn the wheel and tighten them.
I didnt have to do this for any of my other cars though.
and I have a 04 sport, but I kinda want a stiffer spring. I am think about the z swift springs now that I hear the z stechs arnt much of a improvement.
