just wondering before i purchase the car... im lookin at pre-owned (03-04) and i was just wondering if the Sports Package is a must for this Coupe.

Is there any other advantage besides the upgraded 18" wheels vs the 17"?

thanks

 

sports suspension...

its not a must, but if you're buying the car, try to get it w/ everything you can.

 

Also, if you can wait for an '05, do it. The 2005-06 have major changes.

 

one thing those techs forgot to add in the sports package is a camber kit.... my rear cambers are hella bad.
-2+ degrees?

 

well i was thinkin if i see a good deal without the sports package i can get it and just buy the stock 18" wheels to upgrade them.. but i wanted to know what else i would be missing if i didnt get the package altogether...

let me know
thanks

 

dont spend the rip off dough on the sprts package. just spend that cash on a camber kit and some nice coilovers and you will be much happier. otherwise, i bought an 06 with the sports package (which i have now taken off - springs, shocks, sways) and am selling...

 

I believe you also get the VLSD, which is a somewhat expensive part to add, so if thats something you think is necessary, then you should get it. I would say the sports package is worth it.

 

wat is VLSD?

 

Viscous Limited Slip Differential (not sure if the v part is right..sounds familiar though..lol)

 

various?

 

nope, i just confirmed it. its viscous

 

in plain english, plz explain what it does

 

Viscous, I believe is the brand name, and LSD makes your wheels spin equally.

I don't have sports package on my car, but I do have the oem 18s. The car is great for normal driving, but I still definately feel body roll, and the car could have a more confident feel like a BMW. That's just my 2 cents. I've never driven a g35 with sports suspension though.

 

The 06' sports package includes a different few things that a standard G won;t have. These are a front bumper, different side skirts, stiffer spring/shocks, VLSD a steering wheel with orange stiching and drilled sport pedals. I can't think of anything else that the sport package includes..

 

not a brand name but a type of LSD.....the differential is similar to a standard differential but surrounded in a synthetic fluid that when encountering severe forces (such as donuts for example) will bond and become thick and will help move both wheels instead of one........or something like that
