Need some help and suggestions.

I am trying to lower my 04 G35x. The only lowering springs I can find only work on the RWD sedan. Has anyone used anything that has worked for them or any suggestions?

AWD vehicles like the G35X aren't ment to be lowered that why no one makes springs for that purpose. Some members have tried rear coupe springs and Z springs for the front but every single one has had nightmare issues....best to forget it!

Handling

So.... how would I make the handling better? Should I use sway bars? What do you suggest about that?

wow, that's a really uninformed statement, just like this whole thread. click the link and educate yourself, or just believe ignorant statements like this, and suffer poor handling.

wow, since this whole thread was started with a question, it's pretty obvious i'm looking for information on a subject that i am uninformed about. stop worrying about other people so much and you would probably be a lot happier. oh yeah thanks for the advice.

That's where you got your name from "Snot?" No I did a search under the G35X and found several posts from members and sponsors suggesting lowering the X would be nothing but a PIA and shouldn't be attempted. All I did was forward the information available....

Yet there is way more guys without problems than there is with problems.

Any springs that ft the sedan will fit the X but add a half inch to the drop.

If you want it stiffer, sways and a good strut bar are your best bet without lowering it.
