Yes, I did a search and the search function flakes out when you enter "coupe springs sedan". Honestly, I think the stock ride height in the rear is fine because I like having the wheel travel for my passengers, but the front gap could be improved somewhat. I know the coupe springs are slightly shorter than the sedan springs, but how much. I've heard "1/2"", but nothing definite. Does anyone know?

 

I did the coupe thing on my sedan a while ago, the rear from what I remember
dropped an inch and the front only 1/2, but my feeling was the rear was up
too high so I was pleased.

I helped install oem coupe springs on a members sedan here (and Tokico D-specs). I measured the drop at all four corners before and after. Net drop was 1/2".

 

Thanks guys. Was the drop even noticeable compared to the stock ride height? I put splash guards on and that improved the look by making the car appear a little lower and I plan on adding a chin spoiler. I'm not a big lowering spring guy. I don't want to compromise the handling, ride quality, or camber from too much of a drop plus I plan on adding swaybars and sticky rubber to really improve the performance. The stock rear gap is fine (1.25"), but front is 1.9" which is a bit too much. I assume the coupe springs will take the front down to around 1.3/1.4" or so?

What's funny is that my Gs stock ride height is about as low as my 96 Maxima was on H&Rs

 

The drop for me was perfect, the back end came down to what I think it should have been and regarding ride, comfort, handling etc. it just seemed
to tighten up the experience and the back end seemed more glued to the
ground than before. I'm looking at 18 coupe wheels but just not sure if
the look will be alright since the offset is 30. Acording to my calculations
the coupe wheel should come out about 1/2 inch. Can you post a pic ofyour ride, might look into some splash guards for my black sedan..

Did you guys get your springs from the dealer or can you get them from an after market source? Also whats the cost for the springs themselfs? I'm running 245/45/18 all the way around and with a couple people in the car there's not that much clearance. I'd like to do a small drop that does'nt look to uneven from the front and back tire clearance.

 

Oem coupe springs, purchased used from forum members. The average market value should be around $70 shipped. It's a suppy and demand issue, large suppy of springs without much demand.

 

If anyone is still looking for coupe springs, I've got some for $20 plus shipping. Only have 5k miles on them. Just want to get them out of my garage. They are boxed and ready to send.

Thanks

 

For any G35 Sedan owners in So. Calif. - I have a set available with only 1K on them. If you have interest, please send me a PM.

 

How big is the front gap after installing the coupe springs on the sedan? Does it visually look better?

 

It's such a slight drop, it doesn't really stand out that you dropped the car, rather subtle. Makes the gap a little less obvicious.

 

Do you know if the alignment could be adjusted within spec (or how close)after installing the coupe springs? I am torn between installing sedan(sport) or coupe springs & Tokico's. For my needs lowering is not much of an advantage as I work out of whatever I am driving.

 

Does anyone know if the alignment could be adjusted within spec (or how close)after installing the coupe springs? Is it a dumb question or already been discussed? Thanks

 

I went from the 2005 6mt sedan sport suspension to the 2005 coupe sport springs with Tokico's. The rear dropped more than the front (Gsedan35 recomends a space to raise the rear). I want to keep the rear springs because the spring rate is stiffer. I spent today at BlackHawk Farms Raceway with the Lotus Corps club (Rifster and someother G's and Z's were there as well). The sedan performed very well. I had three instructors and each would end the session saying, "This car handles very well. You can't tell it weighs 3400 pounds." So, I think that spacers and 350Evo sways will finish the suspension for me. All I need now is more power.

BTW, Brake fade was really not a problem. I know that this track is not brake intensive, but the stockers held up well.

 

How well did it align with the coupe springs? Also, do you want to sell your stock springs?
