lowering mine as well this week tucked tires, rolled fenders status. jk jk but I'm probably going to do a clean drop on Tein Flex. I will take photos for your viewing pleasure when I get my car back from the garage.

I have 18" wheels and dropped on Tein (350Z) H-Techs. I'm loving the ride because it is nearly identical to the feel of the stock springs...

How about just putting the 350Z springs on the G. I heard they drop like .5 inch or so front and back. I am not sure about the actual difference but i know it drops some and you basically keep the stock ride quality.

Why would you want to trade stock for stock? I think that you can find a nice set of springs that you will be happy with for a really great price. If money is an issue, then find a nice set of used performance springs. I'm sure you can get something decent for 100 bucks on this forum.

If you don't want a huge drop I would go with H&R or Eibach Pro-Kit.

If you wanna get dumped then go with the Tanabe DF210.

Just my 2 cents.

I was thinking about the Tanabe DF210s for my G35 C. how's the cornering with these springs? more or less body roll then stock? I'm a pretty agressive driver.

Proof to this ^ statement:

Do you have more (higher res) pictures of G35s with this setup?

Definitely better than stock. Don't have any pics at work. I'll post up some pics for you later tonight.

df210 & stock 19s

Here's a set up with stock 19s that I think looks the best but it is pretty low... the ride was good but I changed to Eibach Pros.... just a tad higher so I don't dread every speed bump or steep driveway..

These pics are with EVO A arms, Dspec shocks, SPC rear camber & DF210s. Also, 15 & 20mm kics spacers

How low can you afford to go..........?

Honestly NG coilovers are the way to go...if...you intend to slam your G.
Another consideration is that by doing so it will cost you around $4K for the
coilovers and everything else required to bring you car back to within factory
specs. If you don't wish to spend that kinda cash to slam your G most of
us opt for the 350Z H specs. Your choice and lots of them......

Gary C,

While coilovers are the ultimate, once you set them up your pretty much done (unless you do track days).

While the EVO A arms were the most expensive part (and the best) I did mine for less than half of the cost you mentioned.. And the ride is adjustable for stiffness with the shocks.

You can get a set of SPC camber kits for a good price with THMotorsports. They are a vendor or sponser for this site. Great people to work with.
