350z enthusiasts seem to upgrade suspension quite a bit more than G35 owners. I'm looking to do a swap. I've heard that the 350z stock is a little stiffer than the G.

What you guys workin' with out there

I do know that the stock Z suspension will not only work in the g's, but is also stiffer. I have upgraded both the springs and struts in my Z, and have the stock if you are intrested in buying. They have about 15,000 miles on them and work perfectly fine. I just needed something adjustable for the track. Give me a call if you are itnrested, I could probably ship them to you in the box my coilovers came in. Matt at 843-557-7510

The stock Z suspension is great. Coilovers FTW.

The stock Z suspension is fine unless you are really going for serious track events. Many people regret they ever made any changes as the ride stiffens and alignment issues/tire wear come up. If you dont have performance brakes, thats where to put your money.

PerfectApex, i've seen your post before and respect your opinion. ( i have read that you raced track events) my question is would you put ebiach lowering springs on a 350 or go with something else? i was thinking of the 1" drop to give it a better stance.

Lowering springs give you a crappy ride. If you really want to lower it save up and get a set of coil-overs.

Thanks for the compliment 504. I would not lower the car myself. The lower stance looks good but your ride will suffer and you will have more clearance and alignment issues. I noticed you have a 2007 and you have a pretty good set up already. You may want to call Stillen sales as they are on top of the latest mods and can give you more advice for your particular needs.
