I wanna lower my car...but im not to sure where to start.

I know there are different drops and they vary by brand.

Im not sure where to start looking.

Is a 2" drop to much on 245/45/18s?

what about the shocks?? Do I need to change them out?

Im not new to the DIY. I just have never lowered my own car.

ive installed springs on many other peoples cars, I just have never done the research myself

 

2 inches will require some serious camber adjustments as well.

You go any more than an inch - and your going to need front and rear camber arms.


So that should narrow it down A WHOLE LOT... GL on your research..

 

hAHA. Im on htechs and the advertised drop was 1.5/.7 i think and i still had to get front a-arms. You would think id have the rear camber kit but ive been too busy. Jake is right. need any info or help on installation hit him up

 

ive been reading that even if you get say a .5" drop that after the coils set you will get like .75" or so

is that true with lower quality set ups only?

 

nah.. I have the Tenabe NF210s.. and the advertised drop is an inch in the front and .8 in the rear.. I swear I got more than that in the rear..

 

do you have the sport suspension?

what kind of drop are you looking for?

i would suggest that you decide how low you want to go before deciding on the springs/coils. the rest will more or less fall in place from there along with your budget.

 

I thk when he said coils he meant springs. But britt is right. If you go as low as 1.5" you will prob need front and rear camber kits. For a sedan a good starter drop is a z suspension set up. If you put lowering springs on stock struts they will wear out the struts faster than normal due to the lower the struts will be sitting.

 

+1

I know of someone selling their Z springs - lemme know if your interested... might get them for 50 to 75 bucks..I just have to ask.

 

no sport suspension

im just looking for a bit of a drop to make it look less...stock

 

^^^if you got Z springs - its a .5 to 1 inch drop all around...

have you personally tried to search though the search results????

its very difficult.

I was hoping to get some help from some local people.

i will try to search for photos of G35s with 350z springs

thanks for every ones help

 

Not even trying to be a dick, I'm just saying.

There's plenty of info out there, its all been talked about somewhere at some point, I remember researching for days and days about this same topic.

 

I had the H&R springs and they were a little more aggressive than the 350Z springs and a better spring rate. The rear could have used a tad more of a drop, but I didn't mind all that much, never had rubbing issues even though all the discount tire guys were scared ha!

I have them for sale. They're not as cheap as the 350z springs, but I'll make you a good deal

 

jake... I might want those. I just need smaller tires though :/
