Apologies for the blonde question.

I want to lower my v35 very slightly which the 350z 'springs' would do well, however, the stiffer/lower 350z springs will not match the standard v35 shocks and cause camber/toe issues in the long run.

SO would the 350z suspension (both shocks and springs) on the v35 reduce the camber/toe issue all together??

I have been running 350z suspension (shocks and springs) on my sedan for the past 6 months. Camber has been reduced to -1.25 all round. No uneven tire wear and rides much better than stock. A lot of G35 drivers in the US lower with 350z springs only with factory shocks and have had no real issues with camber as it lowers sedans by 1" all round and a bit less on coupes. Personally I would still go with the full setup, that way you are running matching shocks and springs from a Z. Z springs and V shocks will most likely wear out quicker IMHO.

Thanks for the quick replies

pw350gt: Yeh i might think of getting camber arms if or when the used Z suspension plays up.

n15m0: -1.25 camber is good! so the full Z sussy set-up may be the cheapest alternative for a subtle drop (if i convince my mate to palm it off to me lol). And i agree with the matching shocks n springs with getting the full Z sussy set-up- piece of mind too.

Do you happen to have pics of before n after pics of ur car on Z sussy??

or if any coupe owners out there that have done this?? would love to see pics!

Ok.....Another blonde question from a black-haired asian....

So coilovers for a 350Z would fit to a V35 sedan? Reading this thread, I would assume this is the case as the 350Z standard shocks and springs fit...

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
