Hi folks, my name is John.

I picked up a 2005 G coupe 5AT last summer and tried to stay away from the modding bug. My last car was an '03 S2000 which had some good mods....hardtop, 18" Volk TE37's, and a few other things. I needed a bigger, quieter car for trips back and forth from NC to NY and after a few times in the S, the G was looking like a better car for that.

Anyways, I've searched and couldn't find a definitive answer so I decided to just ask.

I want to lower the car just to get rid of the ugly fender/tire gap. I will either be these Eibach pro kit springs for the Z http://charlotte.craigslist.org/pts/2235835831.html or H&R sport springs for the G.

I will also be running 25mm spacers front and rear with camber arms/front and camber kits/rear. All of this on factory 18" wheels and OEM tire sizes.

My questions are:

1) Will I be able to do either set up with no rubbing issues?

2) Will I need to do any fender work?

3) Will I have a pretty close to factory ride quality? ( I'd like to).

4) Would I be able to achieve all of my goals with an alignment leaning towards tire longevity?


Sorry for such a long long post but I just wanted to make sure I included as many details as I could.


Thanks for your help guys and gals.

 

not sure on the first too questions, but i believe that you should be fine.
eibachs are a great set of springs, they are use buy many people on here
as far as an alignment, you should get at least a rear camber kit with toe bolts

 

Thanks VA. I'm just wondering how important it is to get front camber arms installed. I don't mind a little negative camber but don't wanna get nuts. Definitely getting rear camber kits though.
