Help me lower my 04 G35 Sedan

Hi, I just recently purchased my G35 & I want to drop it about an inch....I know nothing about suspension. That being said....what do I need? Will my G be okay if I slap some H-teins on them with stock shocks? Will i need a camber kit? ANY suggestions would greatly be appreciated thanks.

*BTW, how can I tell if its the sport package or not?

I have a set of OEM springs from a 350Z that will give you about that drop.

I will be putting them up for sale on the board for 100 shipped, do you want them?

You should look into the z springs as an option. Run a search in the sedan section and you will find more information than you ever wanted.

My brother set-up his '04 Sedan with 350Z Tein S-Techs, Tokico D-spec 9's and the SPC rear camber and toe assembly. I think his G looks great. Mated with the Stillen front and rear sway bars, his got an excellent daily driver.

If u get z-springs u won't need shocks or camber kit. It will drop the car about 1 inch all around.

If you don't have the sports package your shocks most likely will not hold up long term against the increased spring rates you will get from any z/coupe spring options.

Simply solution is to buy a full z suspension. I have seen them for sale for $200-$250 if I recall correctly.

No. All sedan springs are the same height with the exception of the X (I don't think you have an X).
