Ok, you have the non sport suspension.
Do not get oem Z springs or any aftermarket spring ment for the Z. Your shocks lack the power to deal with them. Yes you can mount them, but the resulting ride and drive quality won't be something you'll be happy with, you'll come to know the meaning of the word, "underdampned", not good.
That being said, you could install Tokico D-spec shocks with oem Z springs or any aftermarket spring ment for the z (watch drop amounts however as you'll get a additional 1 inch of drop with Z aftermarket springs when run on a sedan, example RSR 350Z springs drop the Z .7", they'll drop the sedan 1.7").
If you don't plan on changing out the shocks, Eibach did develope their sedan springs on a non sport suspended sedan (though looking at the spring specs, I have to cringe a bit). Beyond that it's less sure as even Tein H-tech's for the sedan are some 20% stiffer in the front then your oem non sport springs, at lest the rear springs are softer then oem, but in the front that's a large increase for shocks that are on the verge on being overwhelmed by the oem springs.

So what kind of ride quality could you expect with the 350Z RS*S springs and the sport supension? I am thinking about going in this direction as I want to tighten up the handling, remove the suv wheel gaps but I do not want to have it ride like a go-kart. I know that there have been some other sedan with this set up but could not find any follow up reports.
I assume with this kind of drop that I will need a SPC camber/toe kit and adjustable upper front A arms, to get the camber to the coupe or Z spec.
