Yes. But, if I'm not mistaken, the sways are the same... (meaning, there's no advantage to swapping to OEM 350Z ones).

The sways should be different if the g is not a sport package car.

apparently i do have a sport one i think.its an 04 sedan with the 5 spoke wheels and spoiler..i've heard people call that the sport model and the 03-04's with the 6 spoke wheels is base model..so iono..im more worried bout the springs working than the sways...i was just asking cuz it'd kill two birds with one stone if i got it as a package..but springs are main..dont really wanna worry bout sways right now...that's later on.

I'd like to go further with this question. I have an '06 sedan with the 5AT. Can I just use 350Z springs to lower the car or will I need the shocks/struts as well?

GAU-8: you can use the springs for your sedan, im a little shaky on the 06s so double check.. but it is recommended you have the sport suspension. it will drop it 1". if you dont have the sport suspension than i think you might be able to get away with the revised z springs (2005 and newer i believe) and if you do have the sport suspension the i think you want the unrevised springs (04 and older)

Guju Rider: since you have an 04, if you have the sport suspension than i think you want to go with the unrevised suspension (springs from an 04 z or older) and if you dont have sport tuned suspension then i think you want the revised springs (05 and newer)

anyone please correct me if i am wrong.

try the search button, you should be able to find this info somewhere already on the forum, or on another forum for that matter. goodluck

I don't have the sport suspension. I have stock 17's. I heard from another forum member that I can use the revised Z springs. But he also thought I needed to have the Z shocks and struts to compensate for the 1" drop. I don't want those springs moving around when uncompressed. I will try and search, but I already asked this on the Z forum and got a couple fingers in the ear responses.

hmmm, i think you can get away without the shocks and struts, but again, not positive because i have an 03.5 and you have an 06..
