I know this has been covered many times and have searched but just wanted to clarify prior to buying anything!!

I have a 2006 350GT and would like to slightly lower. From what ive been reading the OEM 350z springs and shocks would lower my car around 1/2". Is that correct?

Are there any particular years of the 350z to watch out for? Saw something about revised suspension?

And also from my reading the track & touring versions share the same set up and wouldnt change anything either way?

Thanks guys and sorry about recapping an old topic again...

If you can get Coil overs, will lower and then give you better handling :)

Thanks for the replys.... dont really want to go coilovers because it is a daily plus eventually the car will be given to the missus.

Probably just be looking at some springs but saw the 350z stock suspension cheap so thought I would ask...

Im planning on getting some 19s for it soon so dont want it to look jacked up... from experience what drop springs would anyone recommend for 19s? keeping in mind it is a daily and had my fair share of pain in the arse lowered cars in the past!!

coilovers can be softened or stiffened at the ease of a turn, and raised and lowered in about 30 minutes.

i would recommend them to anyone and for the small price of them, they are worth it.

doesnt matter who drive it, hell my sister has driven mine, and shes useless

      Brake pad Compound suggestion

      For a daily just run Akebono ceramic pads. That's what they're optimized for. Obviously don't try to run it on track or anything like that.

      V36 2008 Coupe Wiring Differences with Android Screen

      By sausagepianist · Posted

      Hey all, I'm sorry if this has been discussed before.  I have a 2008 Japanese import V36 coupe with nav but without Bose. I bought one of those AliExpress android screens, which for the most part works really well.  The only thing that doesn't work is the air con controls (well sort of) and the factory reverse camera.  The AC can be controlled fine but it doesn't report the change in temp and mode to the screen, and the volume knob/other audio controls from the panel don't register on the learning app.  I am pretty certain that the problem is the difference in the head unit between base model (Nav but no Bose) 2007-2009 coupes and anything after 2009.  Mine is the one with the blue connector all the way to the right as seen in this forum post:  The reason I think this is there is one wire left over that doesn't fit anywhere on this head unit, or in the factory screen which also uses different connectors to more recent versions.  I've seen the upgrade from OWC, and have sent the guy a message on eBay but no response yet.  I also don't particularly need the whole kit, just *maybe* an adapter for this one cable.  Did anyone else here have the same problem, or have any insight about what I can do to get this working?  I have been in contact with the seller but all they seem to be able to do is ask for more pictures and videos. Minor edit to add:  I have been researching and found a screen on Aliexpress that actually specifies my head unit in the listing, so these things do exist.  I will contact the seller to see if the wiring adapters are interchangeable with other screens.   Thanks in advance!
