suggestions needed plz!

hey,

i want to drop my g35 coupe, i have everything stock, with the 19'' stock rims with the sports tuned suspension, the promblem is that what springs should i get? i want a good ride quality and a low drop (not to low so i wont rub) and i also included a pic of my g35 coupe's rear, i wanted to know if i will still see the tires sticking out like that? will the drop hide the wheels? at least half of it? meaning will it be low enough in the back so the wheels dont look like that?

thanks

You want it how low.......?

How low you go depends on how much you're willing to spend. Two inches
or more will cost you in the neighborhood of $3K maybe more. Coilovers and
all the hardware to bring your alignment back to factory specs is the correct
way to go "that" low!

Just get rear splash guards if you want the car to look lower from behind. It'll only cost you like 80 bucks for the rears too.

I'm sure the rear look isn't the only reason why you want to lower it, but since you specifically showed a picture of that, I threw out a cheap solution to that specific issue.

Here you go.

I'll see if I can scrape up a shot from my harddrive of my car from the rear with the splash guards on to show you what it looks like with them on directly from behind the vehicle.

Here are a few shots to give you an idea of what the rear splash guards look like on our cars. I would suggest getting them either way because they look good on the car and have a very functional purpose. I honestly didn't get mine for looks, but when I put them on I thought they looked fantastic as an unintended aesthetic upgrade.

IMO if you lower the car you might as well have wheels to go with it because it looks much better. If not just leave it stock with front and rear splash guards + OEM front lip. I have one and most ppl ask me "Is your car lower"? Nooo.........

I used to lower my last car and I spent too much money changing tires, camber kits and alignments. I still like the look on lower ride but don't want to pay too much anymore.
