99,000 miles on the OEM struts... good idea to lower?

Hello everyone,

I bought my G35 with 54,000 miles on it.. and since then I have racked it up to 99,000 miles. I am more than certain that the OEM struts have never been changed, but I am interested in lowering my car with Tein 350z H-Specs. I currently have 19'' on it, and I wanted to know if it's a good idea to lower the springs? I want new struts, but 1,800 for Teins are just so expensive. How will the ride quality be with struts that are high in mileage? Thanks.

Johnny

Tein basics you can get for between 600 and 800, and tokico d-specs for under 500, just go with either.

Tein Basics already come with springs if I'm not correct? If I decide to get that, I don't need to get the H Specs to lower my car right? Thanks.

Not a good idea. I have 40K on my car and my back struts already feel blown. I been lowered on Eibachs for about 14k miles.

Go with the Tein basics.
