Handling

I am new at this stuff so just bare with a bit. I was looking at some BMW M3's and saw that the handling on those is 50/50. So was wondering how I could improve the handling on a G35?
Thanks in advance.

Get one with the Suspension Package. Higher spring rates and larger 19" rims.

swaybars, spring/struts/coilovers, endlinks, strut bars, chassis reinforcements. that is a basic list that is generally in the order of which you want to do first to get the most response. do some searching and you will find all the info you need.

upgrade the suspension all you want but the weight redistribution will never be 50/50 and will never handle as good as a M3

^Yes, its called the sport package. Includes stiffer springs and the 19" Rays.

If you want to modify the suspension, good information regarding OEM/aftermarket spring rates and more can be found here:

Tires, struts, sways, springs, chassis reinforcement, alignment, corner balance. Factory sport package suspension sucks.

The right tire will also help with all the other things everyone has mentioned

You can invest heavily into suspension, chassis, somehow change the weight distribution to 50/50 etc... but because the tires are the only point of your car making contact to the road, all that money invested means absolutely nothing if your tires suck...
