JakeHardy2011 Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 As above, looking for some springs to lower my Zed. Please correct me if I'm wrong but I read somewhere that the nismo 350 was 20mm lower than the standard car. So for that reason im looking for some springs to match that kind of drop im sure this is all over the forum but will I need to replace shocks to go with this minimal drop?

Tarmac@TarmacSportz Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 These are close, with a nice drop http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/101147-tarmac-deal-alert-350z-tein-springs-in-stock-156-delivered/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarmac@TarmacSportz Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 And... no need to replace the shocks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JakeHardy2011 Posted September 3, 2015 Author Share Posted September 3, 2015 what is the max drop before its sensible to change shocks? you got any others that will give a tiny bit lower just for comparison? thanks for the help mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grundy Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 N oneed to replace the shocks bud. Springs are probably the easiest route to go down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JakeHardy2011 Posted September 3, 2015 Author Share Posted September 3, 2015 surely the lowered springs will have a different spring rate to standard springs and affect the longevity of the shocks, im new to this stuff so please tell me if im wrong lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarmac@TarmacSportz Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 is it correct that the nismo is 20mm lower than standard car? Is it actually a Nismo or does it just have a factory fitted or aftermarket Nismo bodykit on it? And maybe a Nismo sticker somewhere someone put on it (happens a lot) Any pics of the ride height ? Teins are the most sensible option for a nice ride height without any other issues to worry about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JakeHardy2011 Posted September 3, 2015 Author Share Posted September 3, 2015 haha i haven't seen it in person but was reading about the nismo suspension setup and the particular website (cant remember the address) said it was 20mm lower than the normal Zed and wondered if it was true? does the price listed include discount buddy?

A: - I was never aware of the Nismo being lower, but at the same time never seen one in the flesh/stock etc. B; - if you were looking at getting 2nd hand Nismo suspension, you'd be lucky. No genuine Nismo's in the UK. So you'd be sourcing from Jap/USA C: - Just cheaper, easier and probably the most sensible option to order a set of springs.

I think OP was only talking about the Nismo as a ball park figure to aim for on a drop. Ie if Nismo think 20mm is a good drop then it's good for him too. Don't think he was actually after Nismo kit.

Payco Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 (edited) Tein S Springs buddy are the way to go and is the common step to lowering. Mine on Tein S Springs lowered 20mm if it helps. No need to touch the shocks. Edited September 3, 2015 by Payco 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
