drop springs

has anyone used tanabe nf210's on a 05 sedan? i searched the forums and found some info on the 07 08 g and there was some issues with the rear sagging more than the front on the x didnt seem to be that way on the rwd. i got a 05 rwd sedan and any info would help. im looking to order springs in the next day or two. i was looking at s techs but cant afford a camber kit and the h techs dont seem to be quite enough drop for my taste. the eibach pro kit drops 1.1" front and rear and to me that would keep the uneven well gap that is currently on the stock setup. thanks

If you can't afford a camber kit you shouldn't consider lowering your sedan! Truth! If you put springs you'll start eating tires, consider that cost! Four new tires cost about the same as the camber kit. Leave your suspension alone, drive your G sedan and enjoy!

G35 sedan w/ too much money in mods

It makes me sad to see how many of these types of threads are popping up all over Driver. OP I hope you have money set aside to take care of the basics. If not mods should be the last thing you do to your car.


People, the G is not a cheap car to mod, insure or maintain so if you need to blow the bank just to buy one, DON'T.

What tires do you buy??? Unless I was buying SPL brand front and rear camber kits, tires are way more expensive. Especially when he can buy a spc rear camber kit with toe bolts for only like $150!

well guys i ordered the springs, sat is the install day. i have an alignment set up for sunday. ive heard the most important thing is toe i will have my settings put as close to stock as possible. if i eat up tires through the rest of the summer then the first mod on the list for next spring is camber kits b4 the wheels.

Don't forget there's also the option to flip the tires when the time comes.
