Does Z Spring Drop A V

[FlyingEL]

Hi All,

I just want to know anyone out there has drop their V using OEM Z springs? Are they slightly stiffer? Any Photos?

Not sure about the V coupe, but the 350Z springs are lower than the standard sedan springs, and slightly stiffer. There was one model of Z that had very stiff springs. Not sure which model, but I am sure someone will jump in and fill you in.

I've got Z springs on my car - you can see the drop height here: http://sgv35.com/2012/01/05/speed-bumps-now-my-enemy/ it lowers about 1 inch, but feels identical to the V springs (or at least not noticeable).

Hi Sheldon,

Did you notice the springs has red painted dots on it? As now I can't tell the spring I got is a Z or V spring. My V springs has only red dots, the one I got has 2 red dots and 1 blue dots. And my car only drop 10mm the most.

I didn't look at the dots sorry

I am sure there was a write up on g35driver about spring ride heights, spring rates and possibly markings (dots), I don't have a link though.. sorry.

Is there a difference between touring or track z springs/shocks?
