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.

Does anyone know if the 2006 sport suspension will drop my car an inch???? Saw some for sale, wondering if it would do me the charm.

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