found out my car has........

well i havent done much to my 06 DG coupe..bought a fast intentions catback from a member on here and it sounds awesome! i just bought some 350z s-techs and i cant wait for those! soo while i was lookin at my car in the garage trying to think of what it will look like once the springs are on lol and i found out that my front fenders are rolled..but sadly the backs were not..thought it was kinda weird to do the front and not the backs but already saving me money...not that my stock 18s are gonna rub any but awesome find non the less..

gonna be lookin for camber kits soon proly will be buying the MD spacer this week to i think..was gonna put my stock catback on the FS/FT but it wouldnt let me yet..maybe someone want to trade it for rear camber kits or whatever... proly gonna debadge the trunk this week to since its gonna get lowered not sure if i wanna take them all off or just the g35..

well thats enough rambling..soory guys just excited to finally put some work on my car

good to hear!! this car stuff is still all new to me.. all ive owned has been trucks.. i traded in my lifted nissan titan for this car about a year ago or so and its just been a lot of fun then the exhaust made it even better soo i cant wait for the next few mods..gotta get my glass hustle on!
only down side i see soo far is that i live on a dirt road its not to bad though ill just have to take it slower.. im in socal soo the weather isnt to bad but when it rains a lot the road gets pretty dam muddy..but im proly thinking this drop is lower then it acutally is..im only on 18s to soo the tires proly wont be in the fender wall that much..could be wrong though..

Na don't worry about it. I'm on stock 19s dropped on them with spacers and I'm not even close to rubbing. I want to go lower.

Front fenders are "rolled" from the factory. It's to keep the front splash guards in place.

By the way:

Dropped on 350z S.Techs. Just for reference.

Mind you, I'm on stock 17's, not the 18's, so your car will look a little more aggressive.

Rattle canned them. There wasn't really any paint left on them when I bought the car, so I figured spray paint was better than nothing.

If you're shocks have over 70k you might want to consider swapping them out for aftermarket.
Cause lowering the car will wear the oem shocks even quicker than usual.
So if they already have a lot of miles on them ur better off buying new or slighly used shocks when installing the springs.
If you're on a budget Tokico HP are really good.

If you're on a real budget, Stagg SHS struts for the 350z will work, too. I have them on my car, and they're okay. A little stiffer than OE.

If you can find a set with low mileage in the private classified I'd go for it.
