Stock springs and stock ride height problem
 
Hiya. About a year ago I bought '13 370Z. It had Eibach lowering springs. I really didn't like the look so I wanted to swap to stock ones. I bought used sets, front and rear separately. Right from the start, pardon the pun, it didn't sit right with me. Rear was very high. But I wasn't sure if it's supposed to be like that. It drove me nuts. Then all of a sudden I had a thought and asked the guy who sent me those rear springs - do they come from G37? And they did.

Now, please, I'd like to confirm this. 370Z has different springs than G37? And going further with the question - G37 springs are higher and stiffer than those from Z's?

And if so, how can I recognize the RIGHT rear springs? I've seen some offers with unused springs but I just wanted to make sure (don't want to spend a fortune purchasing from the dealer). They have dots, right? Thanks in advance.

Here are pics of rear and front. BTW. Does front height seem right?

The more I look at it, the more laughable it looks.

Anyone?

According to the G37 forms there is anywhere from a 1 to 2 in drop going from G37 stock springs to 370z springs. They might also be stiffer since the G37 is heavier.

WOW, looks like you got air shocks on the back. LOL. Find some stock 370z springs or 370z Nismo springs.

Thanks for confirming my suspicions. Does the front look good?

Looks about normal best I can tell. I would yank them anyway since they are from a G37.

But fronts are from a different seller and he confirmed they're from Z. So it's a no for air shocks :) ?

Your car probably looked better on Eibachs.

Bilazaurus 04-25-2020 05:29 PM

Yeah, rear would look better on anything else

BTW. Do springs differ in sport/normal 370Z?

No. Base/Sport are the same springs. Nismo springs are slightly stiffer. The earlier Nismo springs (red in color) seem to be a bit stiffer than the later Nismo springs (black in color).
