How Do I lower my g?

I just recently got a g35 and my first mod I want to do is drop it about 1-1.5 inches.Can I just buy some Eibach lowering springs or what is necessary to lower it? not trying spend 1000 on adjustable coilovers...it would take me a while to save up 1K,as a student I have a lot of expenses.trying to get something within 500-600ish.I don't know to much about cars since im used to driving a diesel truck.

I find if you pack it full of passengers and other miscellaneous crap you'll get about a 2 inch drop. Just make sure to corner balance your newly lowered vehicle by placing passengers in the correct seats.


Seriously.......the market place and stickies are both great places to start.

looking to lower my car

I have an 04 g35 coupe and I'm looking to spend around 500-600ish to drop it about 1.5 in on some lowering springs or a used coil over kit but will I need anything else? Will lowering springs make my ride super bouncy? Info, thoughts,advice would be cool thanks guys

Springs won't make it super bouncy. I say just save a little more and go w/ coils

Look for some Tien H-Techs or S-Techs. Including labor for the install you're pretty much under your budget with those.

Personally, I did the springs thing for 3 years. I wanted to pay the car off before I put some real money in to it. I'm very happy with my suspension now.

Thank u paxiao ill go with your suggestion.I'm paying off the car as well and im only 18 yrs old.I have a real good paying job and all but I just want to fix it up a little by little...I can do so many more useful things with 1k rather than blowing it on coil over suspension.as a photograper/video producer I 'd rather invest in my camera equipment.thanks guys for those of you who gave my a straight forward answer

Agreed. Coilovers are a great investment. You won't regret having the adjustability!
