Lowered 07 G35X and a new smile
Well my X is now lowered on the 370Z front springs and shaved rear upper seat. It is pretty well level now. It is less than an 1/8" higher in the rear but I just swapped the mounting seats today and my gas tank is at 1/4.
Overall I am really happy with the overall look and wouldn't want to be any lower due to the ground clearance of the front diff.
The car feels a lot better in the turns producing much less body roll than before. I can feels the bumps in the road a little more but nothing uncomfortable and it is to be expected anyway.
I have to say it was a pleasant experience changing the rears compared to the fronts. I did the rears in about 30 minutes. The fronts took a while. One of the spring compressors I loaned from C.T. had some tight threads and was difficult, to say the least, to turn under compression. I built up my pythons a bit so it is all good.
A big thanks to my neighbour Stephan for all his help on the fronts.
Here are a few pics.
