does anyone know if they have springs for the G. i know they have the springs for the Z. if i used the Z springs how low would it lower our G?

 

I don't think they make springs specifically for the G. I've had my Hotchkis Z springs installed since Spetember 04 and I love them. They drop the car a bit more than the advertised drop, but it's not super slammed.

Here's a pic of mine. Not the best, but I can see if I can get something better if you want:

 

if you could get more pics that would be great. that setup looks really nice. how much of a drop was it? do you have any space left? how many fingers?

 

yes, they now have G specific springs. check thier website..

As you can see from their web site it's the same exact spring that they use for 350Z fitments right down to part numbers.

 

so who knows exactly how much these drop the G?

 

looks clean.... nice ride...

 

is camber necessary wit this kit? anyone knows what the drop is?

 

dang, that's pretty low! but looks good. i like those factory 18's.

you can make your car look even more aggressive by running
15mm spacers up front and 5mm on the rear.

 

Thanks for the compliments guys. I haven't forgotten about getting those pics, I've just been busy and haven't had a chance to take them yet. Hopefully I can make some time tomorrow to get that done.

 

I'll ask again...how's your camber?

 

I've got a set sitting here, waiting to go in once my D-Specs arrive. I'll see if I can remember to measure the drop...

 

Ok, here are the pics as promised. Please excuse my filthy car, haven't had a chance to wash it yet since I've been lazy and it's been cold out here in NJ

I don't have exact specs on the camber since the shop who did my alignment doesn't give you a printout/readout of your alignment results (if you're in NJ, never go to Euro Tire for an alignment, they're a bunch of ******). All I can say is that it is out of spec, and I have a set of SPC rear camber arms + toe bolts, and a set of Cusco front A-arms on order. I'm hoping once I get these installed that I can get the alignment back to, or at least close to spec. Wouldn't mind a little extra negative camber since the car does handle really nicely right now

Also, I don't have exact dimensions on how much the car was lowered. I know that putting Z springs on a G results in a greater than advertised drop, but I'm not sure exactly how much. For reference, I measured from the point where the fender and front bumper meet to the ground and it was ~22.75". For the rear, the measurement from where the fender and rear bumper meet to the ground was ~24.5". I guess if you really wanna know how much it drops, measure on your stock car and see what the difference is.







To give an idea of the camber, here's the front wheel:


Rear wheel:

 

Looks like a pretty decent drop!

I really like teh stock 18's when they're all clean, in the first pic you posted, they look DAMN good!

 

This kits has specific springs. for some reason they are not posted on thier website. however, when i called hotchkis, i was informed that they have 3 different spring parts numbers. G,Z, and Sedan.
