~Lowered the G~

Well I got a set of Z S-Tech Springs for my birthday last month. Well I finally installed them last week and let me say, what a difference they made! I know some of my fellow G brothers will tell me to go moar lower but living in SA and the G being my DD, I wanted to test the lower waters first.. Lol. Well I do love the drop but yea, I got bit by the "moar lower" bug.. Maybe sometime in Feb or Mar I'll buy my coilcovers.. I got the springs at a cheap price and I installed them myself so ya.. Well enough talking.. Here are the pics.. Enjoy and Im open minded so don't worry guys, I don't wear my heart on my sleeve... Like or Criticize its all good...

BEFORE







AFTER a Week and Quick Wash

I only paid $176 from Assaultech Performace.. And it only took me 2.5 hrs to install on the G... I couldn't help myself in testing the lowered waters...

well I want rims, but I just haven't found rims that I really like. I'm stil wanting to buy my MREV2 and either HFC's or TP's. I swear having a G is such a money pit. Lol. I'm always wanting some part or do some mod.

Lol yeah anything for the G's or pricey but they look great, I have TP on my G and the exhaust sound is so raw people love it but I would go with HFCs and get a front lip

Well it all matters on what brand of TP (Test Pipes) you go with.. I've heard all of them on our cars, Love Youtube, Lol. And well I'm down to either the Motordyne ART Pipes or Kinetix HFC like I said... Of course the difference is like $200 lol but here in SA we dont get pulled over for being too loud.. I'm wanting to get some small spacers but I'm going to let the springs settle a little more then go from there

I think it looks good.

Great height for daily driving while still giving a noticeable drop!

Your car looks great. Thanks for the before and after. I am looking for a slight drop. Since I put on 20's the G feels so high. I am worried about scraping my exhaust tho and camber.......ehhhhhh!
