Noob to Suspension

Hi guys,

I want to lower my car, not too much tho, just enough to be noticed.

I dont want to sacrifice the quality of my car's ride. I don't want to be scraping everywhere I go. I want to keep the car functional so that it can serve its purpose (be driveable without having to worry)

What are my options, and what do you recommend?

350z H-tech

Though seeing that you have 20's getting better dampning control by adding in Tokico D-specs would not be a bad idea.

350Z H-tech drop on a G35 coupe -.8"/-.6"

Tein CS recommended drop on a G35 coupe -1"/-.7"
Tein CS max drop on G35 coupe -2.5"/-1.5"
Tein CS min drop on G35 coupe +.2"/+.4" (keep in that CS adjust's height via spring preload level's, going higher means more preload)

The important things to remember is that the suspension has only two purposes: To support the body and to maintain tires in the optimal position going straight and occasionally turning.

Modifications can at best affect handling [defined as peak G] by a few percent.
Tires are 95% leaving at best 5% for suspension.
