Hello,

I was thinking of lowering my G. I was going with the Tein Type S springs, which will give me a 3/4 of an inch drop. I was told that anything more and you start having to look at adjustable arms to compensate for the drops.

My question is, will 3/4 make a noticeable difference? i do not want to go overboard and do anything too serious.

 

i have s-techs. It would be a good idea to have camber kits on any kind of drop, but s-techs arnt anything to agressive so you should be ok without them.

 

Let me make this clear for you, any time you lower your G35 you'll need
suspension pieces to bring the alignment back to OEM specs. This is unless
you have the cash to buy tires once a year, have you priced quality tires
recently? If you go onto Tein's site you'll discover the S-Techs will lower
your G more than 3/4". Save your $ and do the job right with coilovers and
the suspension pieces....cost + or - $3K!

man.. all that for 3/4"? I have a similar situation.. don't want anything too agressive but want to lower just a bit.. and it's still gonna run me around 3Gs? I'm waiting till I get my front bumper and side skirt so I see how much room I have to work w/. but man.. really that much?

 

It doesn't cost you 3Gs to do a nice lowering on any car. That is just one person's opinion. You can lower your car without a camber kit as long as the alignment falls within factory tolerances. I would think that you wouldn't need a camber kit with a 3/4" drop and you could use your stock struts so it would only cost you 200-300 bucks with an alignment. Imho coilovers suck and I would take springs any day.

OP explore the options aka search around, you CAN spend 3k on lowering ur car which includes the costs associated with it, or spend under 2k like i did and still get a good drop, it all depends what you want to do, just know that with a drop (springs/coilovers) you get what you pay for so dont skimp out, search around and ull see there is plenty of affordable options

 

dump it no jk.. umm yea ur better of getting all the extra stuff to make sure everything is good.. most of the consequences of not putting them on (like faster tire wear) wont be noticed until ur replacing tires quicker than usual.. thats assuming that u even notice..
