G35 sedan 2006 Suspension swap

Well recently I've gotten the famous slow riding thump on the driver side, so I figured its as good time as any to swap my entire suspension. Could someone redirect me to where i can find some suspensions that fit my car?
I looked over the suspension compilation thread, but I have no idea how to go about ordering and purchasing them...

Well I'm looking for a cost efficient option, so I'm thinking coilovers would be too expensive..but then again i don't really know much about them
That't why I want to look at everything before I make a decision.
I also think that a .5 inch drop would be nice too :P the 350z give a 1 inch drop from what I've read, and that might be a little too much

^ 1inch drop is perfect, you wont scrap and to the untrained eye it looks like OEM height.

350z revised springs and shocks can be had for like 150ish?

people sell them all the time on 350z forum and on here, but mostly over at the 350z forums.

You do not need camber kits. If you go any lower then you will start getting into needing camber kits.

an oem 350z suspension would be perfect, you would get like a BMW height/lexus is drop height, which i think looks decent. i have no gap :P
anyhow you should look for a low mileage suspension, the younger the better ^____________^ i got mine with 9k miles in it.

but for price, it should be anywhere from 100-200, just remember nissan advices new suspension @ 60k miles.

^ why dont u lift up your front and take off the wheel and inspect it? to me seems like its blown from what you are mentioning, u could always just buy a used front driver strut.

An OEM 350z is perfect. It's a 1 inch drop all around and still within specs. Make sure you get the revised suspension if you do. And I got mine with 15k on them for 150 + shipping from a guy on the 350z forums.

And yes you deff need to check it out if anything is wrong with your strut.

^I like the look of the Z shocks/struts on the RsRs, I may get myself a set now, cause now that it's somewhat lower, I want to go even lower. I'm envious of that LS color too.

Here's a pic of mine after the revised Z drop. I'm in the process of finding some 370z Rays for it, so I just have a 17 stockers for now.

Thanks man, and I'm considering painting just the roof black, just wanna keep it clean. I like the LS because of the sick G that Candlestickpark has, but when I bought it, IP was deff the color I wanted.

And I just noticed you had your RsRs on the marketplace, I would ask how much it would be to ship it here to Texas, but I can't post there yet since I'm a noob, and lack of chedda to keep me from buying on impulse.

OEM rays look so nice on our cars, esp. the 19's, which was what I wanted...until I saw a set of 370z Rays on a sedan and fell in love lol.
