Truth about what's needed if you lower your G35....!

Wow....three pages of opinions, had I read this kind of reaction to lowering
my G I probably wouldn't have! How about some truth....if
you lower your G you'll need rear adjusters/toe bolts and adjustable
front a-arms. Our cars have zero adjustability from the factory so even 1/2"
drop and you'll be eating up your tires. If going thru tires isn't bad enough
there's the noise (tire roar) if you don't get your alignment back to OEM specs. I have Tein 350Z H-Techs, Bilstein shocks, Cusco a-arms and rear
adjusters/toe bolts and I'm running brand new Michelin PS2. ($400 each)
So far I have zero tire noise and I'm back to OEM specs....my G handles
like a dream!
Gary

Don't remember bought it from a vendor in the States, I just remember the front a-arms being pretty expensive. Think it was a little over $500 USD.

You can try these guys, I've ordered from them a couple of times;

Gary C - That's not entirely true, our cars can be adjusted with the factory hardware because they have eccentric bolts. The problem with this is, the range is quite small, and may not suffice in most scenarios. Furthermore, factory alignment on these cars is not ideal to begin with, so I see no reason to aspire toward retaining it. I'd say front max 3 degrees negative, min 1.5 degree negative. Rear max 2 degrees negative, min 1 degree negative. Zero toe all around.

Edit: On topic, I have JIC FLT-A2's and rear camber kit, putting it in soon, aiming for 1" front, 1.25" rear drop

Will Tein Basics be enough for 20s?
I am running 245/35/20 and 285/30/20 rear, I ask because I had a problem with basics on my previous car basically the car didnt even look low on the lowest setting because the rims/tires were too wide, I had to get smaller tires but the car still looked like it wasn't LOW
