Ok, never found a clear answer or example on this.

Looking into Z33 springs/shocks on my G35 Coupe. Believe it should lower about 1/2 inch. Confirm?

Anyone with before/after pics of this on a Coupe?

And if I go this way I do plan on the revised shocks. But should I do the unrevised (softer) or revised (harder) springs? I've seen the unrevised recommended, but would have thought the revised would work better on a heavier G compared to Z33.

Thanks

Yes the z springs will drop the coupe an additional .5". I would go with the revised setup. The unrevised setup 03-04 had softer springs in the rear than the revised, but the shocks weren't dampened properly and caused a bouncy ride. The revised had stiffer springs and properly dampened shocks for the rear. The front spring rates didn't change.

Thanks. I'll be looking around. Seems like most think the Z33 stuff has gold in it or something lately.

Saw Nismo set for $700 today, way too high to me.

The stuff from the Nismo Z33? Its that great?

Its used, but was in good shape. But I can' afford that much for a 'stock' setup.

I absolutely love the suspension, especially coupled with stillen adjustable sways.
