okay so i have a 05' g35 coupe and want to lower it, i dont wanna spend a lot of money seeing as i am currently almost broke lol and im looking to drop it an 1.5 inches in front and 1 in back, any suggestions on what to get and which brand you would recommend and an estimated price range. id say its mostly for looks but dont wanna compromise the handling much.

thanks

 

youll want to get a camber kit if youre dropping it anything more than an inch. my friend is dropped on g35 s techs (-1.2/-.9) and his negative cambers are terrible

 

Read this sticky first...

It will tell you what to expect in terms of the amount to drop to expect for all different springs, spring rates compared to stock etc. It's great information.

Beyond that, if you're looking for prices then search around via Google, or check out some of the sponsor sites... evasive motorsports, partshippers.com, intensepower.com, importrp.com all seem to have good prices.

 

yeh that sticky was very helpful to me

 

So where do you guys go to lower your cars? Good shops around 909 area?
or anyone on the boards that would do it? help a newbie out? hehe..

Thanks...

 

I went with Eibach Pro-lines and Tokico D-7 and got the drop you are looking for.

I have 19" wheels with 20mm offset and have not had any clearance problems with the bodywork yet but you have to watch the speed bumbs and curb stop bumpers. I'm ginda concerned the first time I hit a pothole in the interstate at 70 mph..

Because of the drop amount and the desire to keep cost's down. Camber correction is up to you, you will not be in spec, but you might like the extra negitive camber from a handling point.

 

this reminds me of family guy when they do a spoof of the 6 million dollar man.
