is it correct that a '06 350z springs and shocks on a g35 coupe will drop it a good inch front and back? right now i have 20's and have a 2 finger gap between the fender and tires, tenabe nf210 gives an inch drop up front and .06 at the back... should i go with oem 350z springs or just get the tenabe? as far as camber, which one has the least impact?

Z33 springs will only be a 1/2 inch drop on a Coupe.

And if you only have a small gap with stock springs you wheels/tires have probably thrown off you speedo.

The lower you go the more it will affect camber. Z33 can be aligned with stock camber adjustments. Not sure on the Tanabes.

I have the 06 350z suspension on my G and it is a great upgrade. I love the way it makes the G look and how it drives. You still have a good ride it is just a little stiffer than before!

I don't know if i would do it for just a .5 of an inch drop though. On the sedan it gives you a 1 inch drop.... But then again if you drop it more than .5 it will rub on things in the road because it will be so low.

Good luck.... Oh and it is a very easy install took me 1.5 hours!

Im not sure what you mean by finger clearence... If you have stock size wheels and tires.. you will be fine... direct bolt on!

how many fingers can you stick between the fender and wheels, front and back... and i moved up to 20's... 275/30's at the back and 245/35's up front... will i have some rubbing issues with the Z33 springs?

They new shocks travel up and down less than the G shocks and they only allow for the wheels to travel up so much so it won't rub the inside. and if you don't rub with 4 people in the car now it won't with the Z suspension.
