Hey guys 'GT350 & PARAGON' I dont remember the drop in mm, but i pretty sure its about 15mm - 20mm good drop. My friend has them on his 350z and he's got '19, looks good. I also got the springs with '20 and its pretty low. When i say they are soft its not a bad soft, the springs are softer than the standard ones but still good enough for driving. I will try attaching some pics for you guys....

Can anyone assist with lowering a sedan. Like most, I've spent a fair bit of time on G35 driver. From what I could gather Z springs will give the sedan about 1 1/2 inche drop.

Problem is, the last set of z springs I priced from a wrecker in Adelaide, they wanted $800.

I know KINGS do a 30 mm lower Z spring at a good price, (quoted $175 a pair), but that will be about a 60-70 mm drop, almost 2 1/2 inches which is a bit savage for a daily.

I noticed in the gallery there are a couple of lowered sedans where the owners mention they have KINGS fitted, but appear to have a mild drop.

Would be interested to know if anyone has put the off the shelf KINGS in a sedan and how it turned out.

$800 for a set of Z springs???!!!! Thats a bloody rip!

FYI, I've got full Z suspension in both my sedans and they lower the car all round by approx 1".

First set I was lucky, got the set for $110, 2nd set bought for $300, this is for the full Z suspension both with approx 10,000kms.

definately recommend you get the matching Z spring with shocks.

do u mean that v35 owner can use the whole set of shock + springs from 350z?

and can someone confirm that this can lower the v35 coupe for 1 inch?

It won't lower by 1 inch.. in fact not even near it. I believe it's half an inch. And if you have the revised Z springs, your rear will actually go higher :down:

Well, that's what happened on my 03. The reason the rear goes higher is the spring in the revised Z setup is a fair bit more resistant so it doesn't compress as much as our stock springs (or the old Z springs). The fronts however, never got revised/changed so front will definitely drop regardless of which set you went for.

Yes factory 350z suspension (springs and shocks) are a direct fit into V35 Coupe and Sedan.

No it won't lower the coupe by 1" only the sedan. Z suspension will lower the coupe by approx 1/2" only

Thanks for the info. Hard to find any Z's getting wrecked for parts, which is probably a good thing, but when you can find one the parts are expensive.

From what you are saying, the KINGS 30mm lowered Z springs will give the sedan about a 2 inch drop which is not too bad.

From the infor from G35 driver it worked out to be almost 3 which was a bit savage.

Thanks again.

    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
    • Just a thought, but instead of restricting, is it possible to do like an "up for review" kind of thing? Where say someone who's not an admin/mod tags, it would require approval for it to actually tag? User posts with a 'tag' > Admin/Mod Reviews > Approves tag > Tag now exists kinda thing? Just came across this thread so Im not too sure if Im straying off topic or not but forgive me if i am...
