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
This. I saw a pair of rear sport shocks from a Coupe with only 10K on them ealier. Starting price was $.01.

Can't tell if they are from a Z or a Coupe. He says both in the description.

He's also got some Coupe springs up for sale. Although they are revised so I'm not sure if anybody uses those.

The point is, just be patient. These things pop up all the time.

Those springs would be good. That's a Sport package coupe, so they should be the same as Z springs.

The shocks would work too... but those are only for the rear.

LOLLLLLL! I just noticed the sellers name! He's actually a member on here.

Kindof a new guy, I remember him asking me some random questions not too long ago.

I guess the coupe struts with Z springs would be ok... Don't really see any reason why not.

^The drop will be even, but it will look like the back is lower because the way the wheel wells are cut.

I have Z springs all around, so you can look at pics of my car to get an idea.

^Sport coupe springs are revised z springs. Trust me, I've had both in my posession at the same time. My car is sitting on z springs all around, and there are tons of pics around.

Here's a bunch (though some are pre-drop, you can figure it out)

OP coupe springs lower half an inch. Z springs lower 1 inch. So the rear shouldnt be lower than the front since the front drop with the Z springs will be 1" as opposed to half an inch with the coupes.
