Haha no, just trying to get an idea what coilovers you guys feel are the best bang for your buck. Seeing that there are lots of experienced G35 owners on this thread who have lowered there cars on many different types of coilovers, figured this would be the best place to ask, but hey, maybe the search bar will serve me better? we'll see.

IMHO, if you really want more power, skip the bs and go boost. If you want your car to move faster, then upgrade the suspension bits instead.

Exactly. I've already created and/or answered a ton of new threads with the same questions. I'm done. A lot of these threads are useless.

Here's a solution that may help new AND old users of this forum. Before you start modding your car, get to know your car. Research aftermarket manufacturers and the products they sell. Go to other forums that maybe relevant to your car and what you want to do and read what others have done and what brands and products they used. Learn about different manufacturers that make products for your car i.e. Tokico, Bilstein, Rotora, BC Racing, NWP, K&N, Exotic Speed, HKS, Motordyne, Tanabe, the list goes on and on. Yes, there's a wealth of knowledge here but, not everyone is going to be kind enough to keep answering the same questions over and over.
If your answers can't or wont be answered here, Google it. That what search engines are for. They will not only give you the products your looking for but, articles from those that have gone down the road you're traveling now. For example, I was looking to upgrade the brakes on my 05 6mt coupe. I looked at Rotora, Wilwood, Stoptech, Brembo, and others. I finally decided to go with Akebonos. Why, simple, they are good brakes, everybody makes upgraded pads for them, if I need parts I can go to my local Nissan or Infiniti dealer without the wait, McClaren uses Akebonos on the McClaren P1 (no not the same setup Infiniti and Nissan uses), they look great and are a huge upgrade compared to my factory 2 piston setup. Again, the list goes on and on. More importantly, when modding your car do some homework, research the web for all your answers. It will be alot easier and less stressful from members on this forum. Brooks out.
