Hadou Ken Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 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.

gtrtech Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 350Z springs are what you need. Cheers Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/351437-how-to-lower-v35-sedan/#findComment-5638346 Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexanderWilde Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 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 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/351437-how-to-lower-v35-sedan/#findComment-5638773 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hadou Ken Posted January 24, 2011 Author Share Posted January 24, 2011 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/351437-how-to-lower-v35-sedan/#findComment-5640140 Share on other sites More sharing options...
n15m0 Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 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.

rx3ip Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/351437-how-to-lower-v35-sedan/#findComment-5641330 Share on other sites More sharing options...

scarf Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 does the same thing apply where you can use 370z springs to lower a 370gt sedan ? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/351437-how-to-lower-v35-sedan/#findComment-5643095 Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjb_r33 Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 I have a set of t2000 titanium springs under my v35, its too low. I need a set of 350 springs, any ideas?

gtrtech Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 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.

pv35gt8 Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 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.

GeNOS Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 (edited) 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.

Deep Dish V35 Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 (edited) 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.

Deep Dish V35 Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 oh and 350z shocks and springs are just a little too firm in my opinion. its kinda like riding on bump stops Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/351437-how-to-lower-v35-sedan/#findComment-5741731 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deep Dish V35 Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/351437-how-to-lower-v35-sedan/#findComment-5743224 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deep Dish V35 Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 see my first post above 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/351437-how-to-lower-v35-sedan/#findComment-5744360 Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/351437-how-to-lower-v35-sedan/#findComment-5744391 Share on other sites More sharing options...
