wanna lower my coupe...

gentlemen... and ladies, i've been thinking about lowering my G35 Coupe for sometime now. i honestly have no idea what kind of suspension set-up i should get. all i know is i do not want to sacrifice ride quality. my other car is so damn stiff, it gives me a headache, and i jsut don't want to deal with that no more... so i guess i just wanna know what is the best bang for the buck. i've been talking with a local tune shop and they've been suggesting TEINs (i forgot what, though). that was almost 1600 bux, so yeah... anyone else got any inputs??? what're you guys running and how are they? thanx.

They are probably suggesting Tein Comfort Sport. I just bought Tein Basics, Stillen Adjustable Sway Bars (f/r), and SPC camber kits (f/r) and am installing them tomorrow. I paid about $1700 shipped. I will submit pictures and a report tomorrow.

you might want to look in to either eibach pro kit springs or maybe g35 tein stech's

then you would have to get some rear camber kits like spc or eibach (same as spc but cheaper)
