So I am getting a little gift from my parents after my fall semester performance and scholarships and am trying to figure out what I want to do with it. I am hoping for about $150 -200 which I plan to match and spend on either ART pipes or 350z H-Techs and rear chamber kit. Attached are pics of my current situation and please all opinions are welcome.
BTW I know... OEM 17s.. Rays 19s are in the works but would rather get one of these first.
Lastly I have seen an add of craigslist for eibach pro kit and rear chamber. Wondering if anybody has installed these on their g.
Thanks, Tom.

 

I would personally do a drop first, but it depends on what you want out of the car first...

 

^+1

 

The more and more I stare at my car the more I think a drop would be drastically different, but then again make my DD so much worse over speedbumps and pot holes.?

 

learn how to drive a low car, angle in and out of driveways and angle over speed bumps if you cant avoid them. as for bad roads and pot holes learn what parts of the roads are bad and avoid the bad areas by switching lanes and if you cant, drive over them real slow.

i daily drive my sedan and im 3" inches off the ground... its a bitch at first but you will get used to it

 

Lower and save up later for Berks. The smell of TP's are no good.

 

+1 on getting the drop first...... Im on 350z Sthechs

MY 2 CENTS ....... I did some speed mods first INTAKE, EXHAUST, SPACER, Stage II CLUTCH and for me the MOD that impressed me most is when I lowered my car. It does take some getting used to BUT I do it living in a city with bad roads, Baltimore.... and now I actually wanna go LOWER on coilovers.

I sure ART PIPES are nice but go Lowwwwwwwww first ....

 

Driving around while being super low isn't a huge deal imo. You learn how to angle and drive and you learn some places you can't really go. But your own driveway would be the biggest deal imo.

 

Yeah already do that... Have to angle over speedbumps. I think eibach prokit is in my future. Thanks everyone for the input! Feel free to post pics of eibach dropped g's!

 

it may suck to drive around being lowered but it is well worth it. I love the fealing of ppl staring and saying dammmnnn that g is lowwwww!!!!!

 

SO TRUE,I had to drive longer or different routes to avoid bad streets and I loved the way how my cars look slammed. I am Currently enjoying my stock height G because the streets in my city are terrible and I can finally get up my drive way lol but one day i'll ride slammed again and drop the G.

 

Lower that bitch. If I could do it all over again, lowering give the car an awesome stance and gives the car a look it should have had all along. When I look back, I wonder why I never did that first.. The OEM ride height is well... Tall to say the least.

 

+1.

I'll never understand the fascination of removing cats. It's a minimal gain and annoying to everyone else.

 

Honestly this is my first car... Drove my parents Suburban and 97 camry, neither of which I was ever going to modify... But after seeing all of the dynos with ART pipes I was sold. The increase in low end tq is worth the money over hfcs imo any day.

 

Get a drop first ..
Youre on 17's so i doubt you have sport suspension.
At higher speeds your car will not feel planted to the ground, it may feel wobbly.

Springs will help you car feel much smoother and stiffer at higher speeds and just period. Youll feel much more control of the car
