350z springs on my 08 g37 coupe?

Hey guys new to the forum. I have a 08 g37 coupe on 20x10.5 with 285/30/20 and 20x9.0 with 255/35/20. I have some stock 350z springs sitting in the garage. I want to lower my car a little but not a big drop because of the rear wheels rubbing. I know on the g35 you could put 350z springs on it and it would lower the coupe .5". I know the g37 is a little heavier so it might lower it about .75" which would be perfect for me. I couldnt find a forum or thread saying yes this would work, but ive seen some people say all the 350/370/g35/g37 springs are interchangeable, and others have said u have to be careful about the spring rates or it would be bouncy. Any input would be appreciated

The Z springs are softer so your damping will feel a bit firmer but you'll spend more time on your bump stops. I know the 370 springs will work, not sure about the 350 springs.

Not riding on the bump stops but you'll be hitting them more often.

They won't bottom out you won't hit anything it's a mild .5 inch drop at most

Well, the Z34 springs are 10% softer than the V36 springs. Don't know but assume the Z33 springs are equivalent to the Z34 rates.
