so im thinking about lowering my car... i don't know where to start.. i've never felt any kinda suspension on any lowered g's before so i want to get some opinion on what to get? i want somethign that will make my car not so bouncy.. something that can be just the same as how my car feels at stock height.

another thing is how much should i lower it?? i don't want it TOO low and i don't want it too high still..

youve got a lot of things to ask yourself first...

do you want springs or coilovers?

do you want it to be slammed or just a subtle drop?

do you plan on aftermarket wheels? if so, what size on offsets? some people dont want to shave their fenders, and if you lower it too much with low offsets or big tires youre going to have to shave your fenders.

youll also need to consider the fact that if you drop it more than an inch youll want to get a camber kit to get back into specs...otherwise say goodbye to your tires.

You have to decide on where you want your G to go later on down the road and how much money you want to spend. I'd say if you want a nice ride buy tht Tein Basic setup. You may find them cheap on Ebay for maybe 600.00- 700.00 shipped or if you don't want to spend that much drop 100.00 bucks for the H-techs but keep in mind aftermarket springs do a job on your shocks after a while. When you do decide to get springs/coilovers get a camber/toe correction kit and a wheel alignment and you'll be good to go.

there was a thread about the Htechs not settling evenly between the drive's side and passengers side due to more weight being on the driver's side (of course) Can anyone confirm this???? People were saying a noticeable difference between them almost an inch difference????

I was plannin on 350z htechs but im kinda scared to get them now.
