Too impatient.

I will likely do that. I was hoping to get the my suspension work done this weekend, as it looks like a truck right now.

Have the H&Rs and SPC Camber kit waiting. Trying to pick some good shocks/Struts...

Will either tackle this all myself, or give Chris a call. Depends on if I need to do toe bolt or not.

H&r drop is just an inch in the rear correct? You won't need the toe bolts for that

Your gonna want to use a spring compressor for the front since you have a 2nd gen sedan. Those have a lot more pressure than the 1st gens. There will probly be one really stuck bolt on the front supination too

I believe it is 1.3" in the back and 1.5" up front. I think I won't needed it. Everything I have read says it's not needed for anything less than 1.5".

R1, thanks for the tips. I did a lot of work on my old Z, so I'm pretty competent, but have done NOTHING to the G so far. Can't wait to be done with it!

The rear suspension is the same as your old z. The front suspension is slightly different. YOu will see. The springs on the front take alot more to compress as also to take off. On the lower control is a bolt that took alot to get it loose. Done it a few times as i work on an infiniti every once and awhile. lol

I think pretty much everyone here already knows but I just wanted to let everyone know how awesome Phil@Grubbs is:

He is allowing me to exchange the JDM double din dash kit that I bought from someone else that turned out to be for non-nav vehicles for one of his for nav vehicles at no charge! Bring him your business when you can, I know I will be for now on!
