Good suggestion. You read my mind.

 

sure thing!

 

ok after waiting patiently 2 weeks for my tokico extentions, the retailer told me that the darn thing was on back order. and then they say that they don't know when it will come in, possibly next week, next month, or early 2009. what the heck! so i decided to order from another retailer, same thing.....they first told me that they just need to get it from their warehouse, ok....then another 2 weeks later i find out that they were getting it directly from tokico, and they are also on backorder......we'll these ppl are total b.s. whatever....so i decided to forget it and just install the darn thing without the extentions (for now)....sorry i had to vent...

Here are some pics of my new set up. i just installed everything yesterday: tokico d-spec , 350z swift springs, spc camber front + rear, GTII center caps.

Some before pics...





Some after pics...










i am curious how much it will settle lower in the next few days/weeks. so far i still have about 2 finger gap in the front and 3 finger gap in the rear. the suspension feels fine, so far i'm loving it.

hope you all enjoy!!

 

what size rear tire are you running...looks small. front drop looks good, back is still sitting kind of high. send more pics after she settles.

spoiler-less. FTW!

 

Looks good. I'm certain it looks lower in person. Adding .50 to the advertised drop (as some have stated) is total BS, especially for the rear. You'll probably have to do the rsm mod.

 

itll lower more...i just ordered my rims and itll take 6-18 weeks, but on my stock 18s i have 1.25 finger gap in the front and a little less than 2 on the rear. thats with a 4 month settle...may i ask what your wheel offset are?

 

I have 275/30 rear, 245/35 front.

i agree... the front looks good, i am satisfied with the rear. i think the gap in the rear because of the smaller tire. when i had 35's in the rear, it was not as noticeable, but i didn't like the meaty tire look.

i checked this morning and it settled just a bit lower,
but nothing noticeable really, i'll measure and take a few pics in a week or so.

 

thanks sponger, actually it does look lower in person..
yeah the RSM mod crossed my mind once, but i'm pretty satisfied with it so far.


Nice! congrats to you!...VA 04 g35
my offsets are 17/18
btw, what color & offset did you get?

 

do not do RSM. if you are not happy with the drop, get another set of springs that will take you lower. would not mess with coilovers unless you track car IMO...too much hassle.

think your only problem is the tire size. get some Toyo T1R's in 275-35 and you should be good to go. that is what I run in the rear with RS*R Ti2000 for the 350Z and they lower the same as the Swift in back, 1.1. I run a 19x10.5 +19 with no fender roll and do not rub. my alignment is within factory specs with SPC kit.

 

^^Agree with the rear tire size. 275/30 is not the right profile.

 

i was going to get the same exact rims as you...but there is a g in the area that got them before me, so i went with work t1s in 19x9.5 and 19x10.5 with 20 offset in lighting sliver w/step lip...i was going to get 15 offset around but had the fear of having to roll the fenders. i went +20 with the thought of adding spacers if needed. i wish that i had gotten the volks a few months ago but paying for college classes come 1st...car looks great btw
