the Eibach for Z will be too low for our coupes, *I think*. (not 100% sure).

The prokits I use for my G was pretty darn low...so add another ~1" lower.

Yes, but they won't drop your coupe the same amount that they will drop the Z.

350Z Eibach's on a 350Z lower the Z 1.0". Same spring used on a G coupe you will see at least 1.5" of drop. Their are better performance spring option's if that's what your after just to say it.

So if it lowers a Z by 1", then don't you add another 1" for the strut length difference
to get about a -2" lowering? that's wat I meant and I think it's too low
way out of the G's sus geometry.. I think my lowering is about as max
as you can go on a lowering spring while maintaining performance...otherwise
go much higher spring rate (coilovers) and limit the movement.

No, you don't add 1", you add 1/2" This is because the 350Z's oem ride height is 1/2" lower then on the G35 coupe.

Example

RSR 350Z springs will drop a Z .6" Same spring if installed on a G35 coupe will drop the coupe 1/2" more then when installed on a 350Z giving you at least a 1.1" drop.

Not to confuse, but on sedan's you must add 1" when using any 350Z based lowering spring. For G coupe's you add just 1/2"
