i would call them and ask what you have for suspension in there, plus youll know what you have to sell on here when you pick your new suspension..
but for guessing that looks f*cking low for springs.. i would guess coils, but you said they only gave you stock springs
for you question about raising the height... if its aftermarket springs, youll need to swap for something else.. if its coil overs then yes you could take it somewhere and have the height adjusted

When I drove my EVO around, I felt like I was in full time race mode. It's so easy to go fast in an EVO, and you feel safe doing it...which is the main reason I sold it. After losing my best friend to street racing, I just wanted something auto, safer and slower..(EVO's have horrible safety). Performance wise, all around...the EVO's better. That "nicer" car feeling, obviously goes to the G. It's so much more comfortable and just feels overall nicer...plus having cruise control is convenient...the the G is fast enough anyway.
What I miss about the Evo...mainly the rarity and performance. In the EVO, it stuck out to a lot..then again, some didn't have a clue what it was.
i'll type up some more later, gotta go.
But I was really picky about maintenance history, accident history, body condition etc. Must've went through 4 G35's before finding one that met my standards.In any case if I would've known that low mileage 06's would be going for about $15k a year later, I would have definitely waited.
I think he really got a good deal because I got my 05 a few months ago with double the mileage and payed more. I mean for a 06 with low miles like that...that seems like auction prices there.
the OP just doesnt have the Sports Package..hence why he doesnt have the Sport Bumper and skirts
the sports package is avaiable on 06 Auto G35's to

Hence the chintzy wheels as well. No LSD either. I'm sorry, but IMHO, I also think going from an EVO MR to an auto non-sport pkg G35 slammed on God knows what springs is fail.

Why, thank you. It seems like I got a good deal on the car and I like it. I guess the EVO just wasn't for me.

I personally would not have purchased a used car that's slammed like that as it's indicative of having been modded incorrectly in other ways in the past. I hope you've had the car thoroughly checked out by a mechanic.

Obviously wasn't. Good for you for realizing that. Now, hopefully the EVO is in the hands of someone who will truly appreciate it.

...maybe he wanted a little reliability...maybe hi was tired of the Rattle can that is the Evo....how is it modded incorrectly...cuz it has 17s and is dropped...ever think the orig owner took those wheels with him?!....either way its a nice reliable car with great color choice Red/Black
