lowering more

hi guys and gals. my 04 sedan is lowered 1 inch in the front with the z springs and is stock height in the rear. and its not low enough. so i want to go lower. the back isnt a problem. for the back i plan on just going with z springs that i already have and cutting the rubber peice a half inch to get a total drop of 1.5 inches in the rear. the front is where i dont know what to do. like i said i already have z springs up there lowereing it an inch. i want to lower it another inch to get a total drop of 2 inchs in the front. what do you guys recomend for this? i dont want the cheapest way unless its not a bad idea but im also not looking to spend a ton of money. thanks for the help

Two inches will look sick, but I really think you will regret it. Mine is lowered like yours on Z springs and I can't even get on the allignment rack now. I have to put boards out to raise it up enough to get on the rack. You will also need to install "Camber Kits" front and back to keep your tire wear close to normal. It will cost you a bundle to do it right.

The easiest way is to change your springs, Eibach makes some that will give you a 2" drop. The best way is to go full coilovers cause you can set the ride height to what you want.

theres 2 kinds, this ones lower it 1.7" it will lower you half an inch more, but the're probably other brands that are a little cheaper that will lower the coupe 1.5 inch, and for you it would be exactly 2 inches, go on ebay and type g35 coupe lowering springs

I suggest you save up for a set of coilovers and camber kits. You never know when you'll want it a little lower or a little higher. Maybe in the future you'll get different size wheels, or a body kit or something. Coilovers are just so much more convenient....
