Hi everyone I am new here just I just put in a deposit for my car it is a 07 G35 Coupe White fully loaded 6MT. First mods I already ordered a few things list clear side marks, M2 HKS replica exhaust, and a JWT intake. My next mod will be suspension I really want to slam the car. I was thinking of either doing Tanabe DF210 with maybe Tokico HP Shocks if these cars do need new shocks if I change the springs or will the OEM shocks hold? or save a little more and get a cheap coilover like
D2 Racing Sports RS
Ksport Kontrol Pro
Tein BASIC Coilover Damper
Megan Racing
Megan Racing Street
Tanabe Pro S-0C

Those are almost all of them are under $1000 or should I just go with springs, the car is a DD for me. And I do not plan on tracking the car. I just want something reliable and that will not break my bank lol


Thank you all and I will post the car picks as soon as I pick it up.

 

Before you lower your new G35 read everything you can here on DRIVER. Since you sound like you really want to slam your ride the only way to do it right is with coilovers not springs. Do a SEARCH under subject lowering/coilovers and suspension there's volumes of information available.
Good Luck!

But will the stock shocks work fine with the springs????? and thank you for the info

 

I'm taking out my tein s tech springs i found it wasint low enough for me... i'm looking for a coilover setup as well in that range plus a needed new shocks anyways... I was looking at a few setups as well.

 

Welcome to the family you will find everything your looking for on DRIVER looks like u picked out a nice ride i cant wait to see the pics. im also going to lower my car but to do it right u DEF need coils, correct camber and to make sure your wheels wont rub either, u really want to get it all right, but ya good luck

 

Thank you very much

 

Do it right the first time and get coilovers, along with front and rear camber kits so your tires don't wear prematurely.

Also look into function & form type II coilovers.

 

Which coilovers out of my list would you guys recommend????

 

I'm waiting on my BC Racing coilovers, not on your list but they have a lot of good reviews and excellent price. Look into it and see what you think.

 

+1 I've also got BC coilovers on the way. Mark at Ravspec took good care of me picking some stuff out, might want to give him a call.

edit: and dont' forget camber kits, you'll need them if you go low.

 

Does anyone corner weigh their cars when installing coilovers? It's fairly common with higher-end coilover setups, but haven't seen much mentioned on this board.

 

Don't be cheap by lowering your car with springs and stock shocks. If you don't want to spend the money on coilovers, atleast get new aftermarket shocks to match the springs. This isn't a Honda where the ride quality doesn't matter as long as the car looks slammed.

 

Abso, yes Agreed though not too much data here.
Seems you need to look elsewhere but its out their.
