The 370z uses a smaller shock and smaller spring in the front- For the most part both cars weight about the same in the front. From personal experience the swap is not even noticeable as far as ride goes except it lowers you which is a whole win to me.
In the rear the coils are about 1-2 inches smaller but the shock is longer so essentially you'd want to keep the G shock. Any type of Z lowering spring will have you almost on the tire in the rear.

The tein fronts might just be the same as a 370z front spring.

It's all voodoo LOL.

Well, when I get the rear rotors in I can do the wheel-well-area upgrades... 370Z Nismo springs, Koni dampers, urethane spring spacer in the rear (and all new brake parts and front swaybar links). Then we'll have another data point.

Would you happen to know if they sell a smaller top spacer? I would want the back just a tiny bit lower, something I think a lower top spring spacer would take care off.
Would like to stay away from the Z rear and bottom spring spacers.

In the spring thread (hang on, here: https://www.myg37.com/forums/brakes-...n-2-0-a-7.html) @backman_66 has two different thicknesses of spring spacers he tries. Looks like Energy Suspension has a whole catalog of different sizes, look on their site first.

You think I should slap some 370z front struts on over the Tein H spring on the front? I have a set off new 370z from a buddy Or install the Tein on the G struts when the shipment comes in. Im new to all the lower. I appreciate the help

Full 370z lowered suspension might put you too low. I would try your buddies stock front 370z strut and spring check and then determine if you like the look. The lower shock will survive longer since it wont see as much travel as it would on a Z.

Fronts Tein H installed on G struts after work. Not sure how much going to drop after they settle. Back sit factory high can’t lower it with the 275 on 11s. Not sure what im do for rear just yet. I would really like to put some wider tires on it but rubs. Drives fine no problems can’t really tell any difference yet.
