Looking to get a 1" drop all 'round
Hey all,
I'm kinda new to the suspension forum since I've recently realized the benefits of having a dropped G. Anyway, I found the pic below of Oh6 G35's dropped ride and fell in love. I'm ordering the 19" Ray's wheels this week and now need to find out what I gotta do to drop my G to match that pic. Oh6 G35 got Zeal XS coilovers and Swift springs. I'm not quite ready to drop $4000 on my suspension, so I was wondering....is there any way to get that same look below for let's say maybe $1000?
Gilley said maybe the S-Techs springs and D-Specs shocks could get that for me...but I was hoping you guys could give me some pointers too?
Ready to buy! Just need to know what I'm gettin'....
TIA,
B

I have the Tein Basic set-up and have only a rear camber kit. My rear alignment specs are dead center factory spec. The front alignment is off a bit. However, after some 20k + miles, the front tires have worn very evenly.

So if I hear you correctly, I should get:
Tein 350z S springs:

Tokico Adjustable D-Spec shocks: (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/TOKICO-DSPEC-D-SPEC-ADJ-SHOCKS-INFINITY-G35-03-06_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33590QQihZ017QQitemZ 270216604622QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW)
SPC rear camber/toe kit:

Looks like about $900 - sound right? And will this give me about an inch drop all the way round?
Thanks Andy,

Yes, those are the springs. The D-spec7's good to go or you can go with the D-spec9, as well. The D-spec9's are for the 350Z.
The SPC camber and toe bolt kit looks good. However, the actual picture only shows the 2 toe bolts. The ad does note a complete kit and the drawing does show the camber arms. You may wan t to confirm this with the seller.
Edit: Yes, this will drop you 1" all around.

Thanks A.
If I were to drop in these suspension upgrades, apart from a nice 1" drop...would there be anything else to keep in mind? I know you already said a stiffer ride...how bout handling or any wheel rubbing? Kinda new to this stuff so just trying to get a feel for what I'm gettin' into...

With regard to tire rubbing issues . . . What sort of tire/wheel set-up are you running?

it shouldn't be a problem...
...can't wait to see it, when you get it all done!
...and by the way, what "offsets" are you running?
Also, most are running 20/25mm Spacers. I just liked the way the 15/20mm combo look. ...but that's just me.
