Get revised springs if you're going to do Z springs all the way around... if you're doing coupe springs in the back, it doesn't really matter because the only difference between revised and unrevised are the rears.

just go with the H tech's & be done with it, Tein springs ride well & you wont notice much of a ride quality diff, unless you go with a diff strut assm.

I wouldn't say it's too complicated... there is a plethora of information out there on which setups work and such... there are just tons of people that sit back, and post up questions asking if it works/fits yadda yadda when all they have to do is read and search. I find it amazing that there are so many options for us to lower our sedans... How many other cars can drop their car a considerable amount for under $100 with springs from another similar car? Plus the whole "will it wear funny" thing is just ridiculous. Almost anytime you drop your car, the tires will wear "funny" compared to being at stock ride height.. so it's a dumb question.. the question really is "how bad is it?" lol

OP, just get the Sedan H-Techs. That's what I would have done if I had a RWD.

Drop couldn't be more simple... Full suspension (Springs/Shocks/Struts) off an 04.5 or newer 350z.

From what I hear, you can't go wrong with Tokico D-Specs... I'm planning on changing over to them after a while.

Only problem is when you start pricing brand new shocks and brand new springs, you'll find that it's not much more just to go with coils.

it will work fine but after a while your shocks/struts will give out ......im lowered 2.7 inches on stock 350z shocks and struts and its just fine !!! but when mine give out im either going to go with the Tokico D-Specs or just get coil overs and cal lit a day

Sorry for the reality check, but yeah... they're not cheap.
Now you know why many of us just shop around for 350z suspension.

I was lucky enough to have a cousin with a 04.5 z building a autoX car... so I got his old suspension. If you can't find anything here, maybe check out ebay, craigslist, and the marketplace on My350Z.com

G35Kid... please note that he ^ has the sport package... sport shocks will stand up to lowering much longer than the standard shocks.
It's easy to tell if you have the sport package BTW because the shocks will be red instead of black.
