IMO enjoy the car for a while. You've only had it for 1.5 week and if you're on a budget hold off and do a little more research. By this way you can save a little bit of money for your mods and you'll also know a little more of what you want to do to your G.

pretty much the extreme of what you asked... remember, it'll drop another quarter inch when your in it going down the road..

stock wheels, 15 & 20mm spacers & lowered with Tanabe DF210 springs (also camber kits)

Good luck and by the way, this car looks great lowered on stock wheels, especially the oem 19s..

Your G looks nice with the subtle drop of Tein 350Z H-Tech! I have the same setup on my 2004.5. I just put a set of Kics Project 20mm wheel spacers all around, and they really filled out the fender wells.

I don't know anything about lowering my car, but i hear with 19's you must drop your car. What are the best springs overall for everyday driving, comfortable ride, and a nice stance. Also i have no idea what camber, spacers, and toe kits are and if i drop my car will i need these. I just need info because i have no idea wut it i need. Just lay it out for me nice and simple. Thankyou

Scott

basic coilovers are amazing --800
flex coilovers are better but also double the price at 1675
