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.

    • My take on gg2 48mm, 54mm, 58mm, and 62mm compressor map for same size compressor vs gg1 : All gg2 only outflow gg1 above 20 psi. As all g gen 2 surge line at lower left of comp map move to the right, all gg2 sacrifice spool vs same size gg1, surge line move to the right worst for 54mm gg2. So for same size compressor if you want best response, use gg1, if you want max hp at >20psi use gg2 but you will be laggier vs same size gg1. Max compressor efficiency drops to max 75% on all gg2 vs max 76%-80% of same size gg1. Iirc lower efficiency means hotter iat less dense air so lower hp at same operating point of comp map. Also curious why gg2 is mapped to lower max rpm vs same size gg1 (only 48mm size both gg1 gg2 mapped to same rpm) : 54mm gg1 165,000 rpm  vs  gg2 160,000 rpm. 58mm gg1 150,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000rpm. 62mm gg1 145,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000 rpm. If gg2 can safely spin to gg1 rpm then they can flow a bit more than as mapped. Good thing that all gg 2 interchange compressor and turbine housings with same size gg 1. So gg1 owners can buy gg2 chra only if planning to boost >20psi.
    • My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.
    • A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call 
    • Ask me a bit later this week before payday
    • I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛
