Im sorry, why the heck are you buying 350Z springs ahead of time for your 370z? Wait a little, wait for springs made for the car instead of basing your information of a couple of people's educated assumptions. You are going to waste your money if they don't fit. If they do fit, chances are the spring rates are going to be inadequate for the weight of the car and/or the suspension geometry. Whats the rush??

I dont know im pretty postive the Z springs will fit. and for springs to come out for the 370 will be 6 or more months. Coilovers will be over a $1000

So what else is there to do. Drive a 4x4 Z lol

Does any one know if the 370z nismo suspension lowers the car at all? the 350z nismo suspension lowered the car 0.6". I wouldn't mind that on my 370z. Anyways, just wondering.

Yes, they do. The only thing I haven't been able to confirm is how much. I've read in some articles that it's 15mm, but then others have stated 20mm.
So it's at least 15mm. 25.4mm is 1 inch, so your looking at slightly over 1/2 inch.

I could live with that. But 1 inch would be better without be to drastic.

I'm having trouble finding specs on the sway bars too. I might just get hotchkis sway bars. I like how the rear bar is adjustable. I'm not positive, but I guess Nissan hasn't released a spec sheet for the 370Z Nismo products for the good old US of A. Wish they would.

however, isnt the spring rates will differ because the weights of both cars are different?
