How To Lower V35 Sedan ?

[Hadou Ken]

Hey guys

I have a V35 sedan 250 GT

and I just want to lower my car if possible, I tried Repco and Pedders, but they dont even know what V35 is.

I was wondering if there is a car which has identical springs as V35?

And I DONT want to do dodgy stuff how people cut springs n stuff.

In the future I will order Coilover form Japan, but for now, I need Lowerd springs.

350Z springs are what you need.

Cheers

Check out G35driver.com. Awesome site for looking up that sort of thing.

yeap + 1 on the 350Z springs it loweres it about 1 inch to 1.5 . i got mine very cheap from a local mechanic cus he put coilovers for one of his customers and the guy didnt want to keep his old shocks and springs so i gave the mechanic $50 and got me a set of prety decent springs.

and best thing about that no decrease in ride comfort or scrape on speed bumbps

Hey Guys,

Thanks for the all the answers,

but is 350Z springs same as V35 Sedans?

I heard V35 Coupe and 350Z are same but, I just need to double check.

Thanks

350z springs are not the SAME as V35 sedan otherwise there would be no point in recommending them to you. They are however compatible and are slightly shorter than V35 springs hence lowering your car by approx 1inch.

Check my topics....I have the complete set of springs and shocks from a 350z in my V35 sedan. A few other members have done the same with good results.

I have v35 gt-8 and just been lowered .. King Springs sent me a wrong ones ( too low ) then they have to make new sets just for my car .. I suggest you contact them and have to ask for the v35 sedan ... the new springs set the car nicely and fitted 17x8,5 and 17x9.5

Ask for Kris Tarrant as he is the person that took my order

Thanks again guys, I will give a go Thursday.

I will post pics up once i lower my car.

does the same thing apply where you can use 370z springs to lower a 370gt sedan ?

I have a set of t2000 titanium springs under my v35, its too low. I need a set of 350 springs, any ideas?

Same springs as I had on my 300GT before the change to Z springs. Low is an understatement.

Now just need to sort some camber issues.

Keep an eye on all Nissan forums for Z spring.

Just be aware that the 250 & 300 gt's have different spring rates to the 350.

I have a 350gt8 fitted with a full set of Nismo's for a 350Z and is excellant, sits nice with the 18's.

from what i read on teh g35driver forum, my understanding was you need to use the 350 sturts/shocks along with the springs.. not just the springs with the 35 struts/shock.. due to travel lengths and blowing the ass out of the 35 shocks over time from being to low.

350z shocks and springs bolted straight into my V35. easy and cheap.

Forget pedders, repco, supercheap etc etc. you own an import. go to an import wrecker.

anyone wanna get on board with a group buy from the states.. and split postage?

iv bought a few things from infinity over there. could possibly "G" something up.

oh and 350z shocks and springs are just a little too firm in my opinion. its kinda like riding on bump stops

[Deep Dish V35]

has anyone played with shock spring combos? im wondering if the 350z setup stiffness is due to spring or shock..... am considering putting the Z springs with the V shocks to see if it loses a bit of its rigidity. as it is, the Z shocks and springs compress less than an inch max under load

anyone have some springs they want to sell?

i really want to know if people have had personal experience rather than word of mouth.....

plenty of people say bmws are too expensive to own and fix, but i proved they were cheaper than holdens with a bit of know how

From personal & current experience I have to disagree with your statement saying the 350z shock and spring combo is like riding on bumpstops.

I have driven on stock suspension, aftermarket coilovers and have fitted the 350z shock and spring combo to both my V35 sedans 300GT and 350GT.

The 350z combo rates the best amongst all the above in terms of balancing comfort and handling. Yes they are a bit firmer than factory suspension but overall still gives you similar ride quality without sacrificing much in terms of comfort. There is also the added bonus of increased handling and reducing body roll.

My wife drives the V now taking two kids in the backseat and she has never complained once about the suspension qualities, infact I doubt she even noticed when I switched from factory to Z suspension
