I have 125,000 + miles on my bone stock 2004 g35 coupe, and I've started to notice that when I drive the car down the inclined driveway in my front yard onto the street, it scrapes the front bumper. It never used to do this, so I am assuming that some suspension parts are worn out and they need replacement? Would it be the springs and/or shocks, or something else? I don't want to go to the stealership because I know they will just say I that I need to buy and have them install every single part replaced + new tires + new alignment...essentially everything except a brand new car.
Thanks

 

from what i remember when i took a steering and suspension class is that worn springs cause sagging ride height and worn shocks cause bounce. so it could be

either...try doing a bounce test to see if it's your shocks...that's where you push down on each edge of your car to see if it bounces more than one or two

gyrations...but this test isn't very scientific and you need good judgment.

 

Probably sagging springs. I bet there are a lot of coupe owners on this forum that have installed aftermarket springs and would practically give away their stock springs.

 

would the 2006-2007 sport package (19" wheel) springs fit a 2004 coupe?

 

..?

 

yes it will

 

how much would a shop charge to change out the springs?

 

it sounds like your stock shocks are gone

 

wow thats alot of miles for an 04,but glad its still going strong..
