Dropped on Eibach 350z springs

The drop is supposed to be 1.2 inches front and rear for the Z. The drop for the my G35s is just over 2 inches. I am on stock struts for now and the ride is excellent. It's not bouncy at all. I just wanted to let everyone know the 350z springs work great on the sport.

Looks good! I had found a set of 370 nismo springs that I thought about trying out on mine.

Very nice, hope you're running full camber kits w/ that deep drop
Looks similar to my B&G spring drop, was a bit too low for my daily driving so went up a bit to zero gap and a bit less stress

Love those rims on your G too, nice choices all around.

What are you running now? I've been looking and debating between tanabe and swift. I'm looking for a mild drop that won't cause me to have to get a different camber kit.

Go with the Swifts.
I have no issues with camber or toe...camber maybe a slight off from stock, but no ill effect or uneven tire wear.

I just had my tires swapped over to my new rims and the tires are even across the width...still looking new with over 15K.

Well I was hoping to hear some good about tanabe since they're cheaper, but everyone seems to like their swifts so I guess I'll pony up the extra dough and go with them.

I'm running Megan LP coilovers, it's not a mild drop but compared to my B&G springs I have the height set milder for sure.

Do it, apparently they're all interchangeable from what I've read. This is the reason I bought these as I found a deal I couldnt pass up.

It's low, I had to remove the rear fender liners but otherwise the stock wheels and tires from the 370z fit perfect. To give you an idea I took a picture, all that can fit between the gap is an envelope. No rubbing no rolling.

so these aren't oem 370z springs? Is the Nismo spring a lowering spring for the standard 370?

No they are not, they are 03-08 350z Eibach sportline springs that drop the Z an average of 1.2 inches front and rear. As you can see I was able to get a little more than 1.2 inches when used on the G.
